I am not jeopardizing anything by posting here. I could've retired years ago and spent the rest of my life doing pretty much whatever. Once you get to a certain point, there is not much that can take you down. It's called debt to equity. And having been at this for as long as I have there is a lot of equity.
However, I only posted these pictures because I do have friends here. THey were very interested to see how the move to the new building went.
My life story is of little interest to anyone here. If you have questions about the building or machines I'll be happy to answer them.

From what I can tell, you were probably 12-13 years old in 1967, the year that your Dad started the company that you took over when he retired/died.
If you want everyone to believe that you started your company with your Dad at that age, fine. People here believe most of what is fed to them, even when it doesn't pass the smell test.
I just don't think that it is very wise to trumpet your mainstream business on a porn board, in case a competitor or someone else has an axe to grind with you or your business.
Reminds me of a long time ago, when I worked for a privately owned business. After the old man who founded the company died, and his kid took over, the company was a total joke. This was plainly nepotism at it's worst.
Most of the talented people left. Fortunately for the son, the old man knew a few things about business (and apparently his son), and had a plan for consultants to manage the transition, so that despite the son's ineptitude, the company still flourished.
To this day, the kid still is an arrogant SOB that tries to convince everyone that he is a self-made man, built his own company (when he mostly spends his time screwing around), yadda, yadda, when the truth was that he simply inherited an already established company, and he was nothing more than an empty shirt with a big wallet, and an even bigger ego, that knew how to shut up and listen to the consultants, and the real people running the business when they got behind the boardroom doors.
Good on you, that you have apparently been able to build upon your Dad's second generation company. Not sure why you need to embellish your story that you essentially co-founded the company with your Dad.
Oh well, rock on...
My point was that boasting about mainstream endeavors is not always the wisest thing to do if you also have a footprint in the porn industry. I'll leave it at that.
