I wanna talk about some companies, businesses, and people. In this dialogue I'm choosing not to let the people and businesses that I feel have wronged me be part of of what I have to say. The people I'm giving mention to deserve mention because of consistency across the board in their dealings with myself and Great Falls Landcare. These are people whove had to sit and listen to me ramble and talk their ears off, these are people whove heard my horror/war stories, these are people and entities that could have laughed me off their premises. Instead these are people who took to me and helped me to learn and grow along the way and have been nothing but professional in their dealings while selling products and services. While thanking all these people I would also like to thank Great Falls, MT for showing me so much support and patronage with my business since my return home on Dec, 3, 2017. Here it is:
1. I State Truck Center
I would like to give a huge thanks to Adam Kvilvang and his crew for their expertise and consulting that helped me so much in dealing with a duramax motor replacement that they weren't even obligated to help a guy with. I happen to mow at I State and they went above and beyond to help see my business do well and me to not fail. Thank you guys truly. I can't wait to get big trucks!!! ( ;) farm eqipment)
2. Hoven Equipment
First, Austin at Hoven equipment is one of the best sales people I've ever met. I knew him before knowing he works at Hoven. I would come to know him better at Hoven. Also, where I met Lance in sales. I just want to say thank you gentleman, and to the folks in lawn equipment, and the ladies in reception for making Great Falls Landcare a priority. I want to thank ownership and all involved who made what were seemingly impossible ideas and dreams just a few years ago come true. If it weren't for your willingness to work with me in my situation none of this would be where it is today. Thank you kindly to all at Hoven as your company is a gem to this community. Period!
3. Verizon Wireless
Thank you to all staff for putting up with me and my bi polar stress and my ineptitude when it comes to technology. ;)
4. Strobles Rental
Thank you for having what I need when I need it. You're crew are happy people in the am. I'm not a morning a person. Business has been good the last couple year with no complaints to be given. If you need good running equipment to rent with out the bs of breakdowns and being overcharged then Strobles is an excellent choice.
5. Inge's Fashion
Thank you Inge, for your relentless support of Great Falls Landcare. Support local people!!! Check out Inges Fashion. Again, thank you.........
6. Great Falls Chamber of Commerce
Your presence in this community is invaluable. Businesses wouldn't be where they are without the chamber. Thank you for allowing a "rogue" like Jud Cohn to be a chamber member. Great Falls Landcare is honored to be a part of the chamber of commerce and appreciative of the perks offered for membership. Kali Tuckerman GF Chamber is the friendly face you should seek out at the chamber to help you get your business noticed better. :)
7. Kois Bothers Equipment
Kevin, Ryan, Dan, Mike and the folks who deal in plow and service equipment are the best in their industry locally. That's all I can say about kois Brothers. I will be doing business with that company as long as I'm alive, living in GF, and able to work. I can only hope to see my operation run as cool and smooth as theirs one day. That is also a testament to the type of people they are. Pretty dam cool if you ask me. The work I've received from them on 2 plow trucks now is flawless and so is the salesmanship that goes into putting these types of operations together. 10 out of 10 all the way around. This group is very knowledgeable and expert in what they sell and represent.
8. Town Pump Employees and company.
Your work and all your effort does not go unnoticed. I'm your stores 3 times a day and you're all very consistent. All smiles while loboring under stress at a til. Always willing to listen and share a short story. I appreciate Town Pump for providing healthy options like kombucha and coconut water to drink. Healthy affordable beverages are hard to find at convenience stores. Town Pump has that covered (Kernaghans has the best gizzards)
9. Restaurants: ( Borries, Clark N Lewis, Brian's Top Notch, Tracy's, Dantes, Jakers, Mongolian BBQ, Hokkaido, Kobes, JJs Bakery, Buffalo Wild Wings, Taco Treat, Howard's Pizza, Missouri River Diner and so many more I love you all and your food) you all deserve mention in my books. Thanks for making me happy.
10. Ace Hardware.
Ace has been awesome in dealing with for stihl equipment and services. I don't like corporate much but Ace has my heart on a lot of stuff and I met and reconnected with cool people like Jason Cichosz there. In a pinch Ace!
11. Fleet Supply.
Thank you for everything. I miss that store.
12. North 40, Duh.
They have everything you need! Enough said.
13. Power Pro.
Thank you for quick service, thank you for awesome people, and thank you for making Great Falls Landcare a priority when other businesses weren't.
14. Sean's Offroad
Just met Sean recently. I had him put some springs on my new truck. Love the work. Glad to give you business Sean. Your work is top notch.
15. Reference Audio.
I came in for a radio fix and left with rear parking aid and a simple sound system in my plow truck at a very reasonable price. Much needed stuff. Excellent service and I'm very happy. Thank you.
Well everyone there's so many more I could mention and thank. Throw me out if I for got you. I'm so appreciative of everything you've all doe for me. And, to my customers thank you for your loyalty and all of your kind hearts.
Gnite, Jud Cohn.
P.s. and, last but not least # 16 .
Teriyaki Madness. Aaron Weissman you sir are a Rockstar of an entrepreneur. I thoroughly enjoy the menu at Teriyaki Madness. This is well know in my inner circle. I want to remind you I'd hold true to a promise. When Teryaki Madness first opened it was in the summer time. There were promotions via code through Facebook. Mention this ad get a huge discount deal. Well, I said don't worry its so good when the promotions over ill be back often. I am. This food is truly no lie thectype of food I seek when I travel. I love it. And, I love this restaurant. Thank you for everything everything.
True to myself: "ONE MORE" or, if your ol skoo "Dung Laou" LOL and, regning in at # 17
The Peak Health and Wellness Center
Without your establishment I myself and most likely many others would suffer the consequences of my inactivity. Your staff has to kick me out every night. Yup. 7 nights a week I get kicked out of a business but its pretty cool. And its all smiles. With out the Peak I'm as good as dead. My life has been flourishing as a result of accessibility to two facilities locally. Which ironically, takes me to # 18 Valvoline. I digress. I have more than 15 individuals i see often that have since jumped on the Peak bandwagon. It makes my head phat to see them heal and prosper. Most notably my brother Shawn whom is now several months sober and rocking it out 7 days a week himself kicking as at a degree I see out of nobody else except for myself. Small joke... he's a samurai. Its a long way to the top to get to wizard lol. Ok.. more.
# 18 Valvoline: Eric Showers
I met Eric one morning at the gym exercising in the sauna at west Bank landing. I'm thinking he's thinking wtf. Don't care tho. I need heat, sweat , energy, more!!! I get mine. Anyhow, I discussed many things about myself. One of those things being my soon to be plowing operation start up. Here we are are 3 seasons later and still going thank you sir for appreciating what you seen and giving me the opportunities that you have. It has been paramount in my personal growth and positive esteem. Glad to seve a company like Valvoline..
#19 The Great Falls Tribune: Mike Grafe
My long lifetime friend connected me with Mike at the Tribune. I'm going into my 4th season at the Tribune. Everyone's pretty much gone now and thats sad kinda. However, I'm still there and thats not. When you drive by the Tribune I hope you see what I see. I love working on the property. I get paid to do something I adore. Thamk you Casey Wilcox.
# 20 Prarie Water Company: Jeremy Ho**er
You sir, and my self go way back to a house party in a basement. With lots of music and guitar and cheese lol. Later on to be re connected through John Shumaker. You helped a guy out. I hope I represent my appreciation well to you every time I touch the properties you're responsible for. Thanks for your loyalty and no blinders cross the aisle friendship you allow. Thank you. Love you
# 21, # 22, # 23 Pro Se Properties, Great Falls Medical Services, and Unique Hairtique.
You've all been with GFLC&S since the very beginning. Thank you all for allowing me a stage to start what I have to show. I appreciate you all so much.
Have a good night. I'm tired and have annoyed myself with so much thought. It is what it is. Gnite all. Justin Jud Cohn.
