What does an Ornery Ass mean? From the time I was a little boy; my granny would always call me "ornery" so we fast forward to 2017 when Stephanie suggested that I setup my own Instagram page. I guess she was tired of sharing an account with me. Trying to think of a IG handle wasn't difficult as the name "Ornery One" came to mind rather quickly. Probably too quickly if we are telling the truth. Being told I was "ornery" all my life was a common word in my vocabulary. "Witty... Smart Ass... little bastard! In a good way of course." Today, as we finish up our planning for this 2022 Riding Season, we can't help but look back & be thankful for the motorcycle community & the riders that make this community the best of the best! Shout out to these ORNERY ASS members who have been with us from the beginning of our membership journey (24 months) & we appreciate that more than we can express. 100 Octane D Meyer A Salmans M Griffin T Kyle M Myers A Davis T Albright M Rehbein N3PRO Dave G & B Maldonado M & M Gregal P Fisher LadyTam55 BnB Ventures L Blevins Crazydaddy5150 J Fischer D & D Dockery S & K Willett Bill The Harley Guy J Forman R Carlile C & J Mulligan G & M Hoffman 93 Octane A & O Woomer xBoilerUpx 87 Octane J Freeman Sasckwatch What i've learned through all this is...

Behind the scenes or should I make a corny joke here & say “behind the screens - windshield scene that is” During our bcXbc22 ride we made a detour over to Memphis TN to see our good friends Memphis Shades! Memphis Shades gave us a walk through of the quality, style and customized process that not only sets them apart from the rest but also ahead of the pack! The amount of history & dedication of hard work since 1974 can be seen by the pictures on the walls but also in the factory itself - the machinery - the equipment - the style - the knowledge! Memphis Shades Windshields & Fairings - Whole new level of style! Everything else is just a windshield!! We first noticed on www.MemphisShades.com that their products are “Made in USA” ….ok so we’ve all seen the “Made in USA” or "Assembled in USA” because hardware is shipped in or all the components are made elsewhere but USA put them all together. Yeah not here!! The brackets, straps, hardware, mounting plates are all made in house right next to the windshields!! We can’t wait to share with you all the video of our bcXbc22 ride with the Memphis Shades facility tour!! #StayOrnery & stay connected with us via YouTube!! ~ the squaw {chronicles of the backseat driver: cbd}

It's was rebirth! Bikes Blues & BBQ had been an amazing event in Northwest Arkansas & the largest charity motorcycle rally to date! Each year in mid-September, Northwest Arkansas would be engulfed with motorcycles & motorcycle enthusiasts! This was an event that brought so much revenue to businesses in the area as well as a badass weekend for all to enjoy! The past few years; COVID, a major player in the rallies & events world-wide, effected Bikes Blues & BBQ so much that riders continued to come to northwest Arkansas regardless! The normal Bikes Blues & BBQ was renamed unofficially as the "Rally That Never Happened" so a rebirth for 2022 was much needed! Bikes Blues & BBQ 2022 took even new look as it was physically moved from Fayetteville, AR to Rogers, AR. The Rogers, Arkansas community welcomed the motorcycle riders with open arms & a cold beer! This was a move that was needed to say the least. Lots of changes were made for this year's rally & more will come as the rally continues to grow becoming bigger & better than it had before! Locations for major actions during Bikes Blues & BBQ 2022: Rogers Convention Center (Rogers, AR) Pig Trail Harley-Davidson (Rogers, AR) Downtown Rogers: RailYard (Rogers, AR) Eureka Springs Harley-Davidson (Eureka Springs, AR) Events that took place during Bikes Blues & BBQ 2022: HD Demo Truck at Rogers Convention Center FREE Biker Breakfast at Pig Trail HD LIVE music at 4 different locations plus more at the RailYard Legacy Ride with celebrities hosted by The Ornery One Stunt Shows at Eureka Springs HD & Rogers Convention Center

From the start of The Ornery One's journey on motorcycles we have felt a call to give back to our communities as well as unite fellow bikers, promote rider safety & give an overall appreciation to the motorcycle community; just like our local community did for us in 2013 when we faced emergency brain surgery. It was times like those that set us on the path today riding two wheels & meeting others that share the same vision! Biker's Pay It Forward was born through this journey!

Our bcXbc22 ride from coast to coast & border to border with 11,000 miles is almost half done!! We are on day 15 - here is a quick recap of each day! Day 1 7/11: We rode in some pretty nasty heat - reached 100 at one point rolling into Tennessee. Had to get cheap low octane fuel at one stop because the other octanes were out… discovered just how important it is to run good clean high octane fuel in the Big Boar! We had to pull over in West Memphis for a conference video call with AKB & Pig Trail HD for our “Bikers Pay It Forward” that we are organizing for Bikes Blues & BBQ. (MORE INFO TO COME) Rolled into Memphis Shades… another company in the motorcycle industry that loves riding & has a passion for all types of “freedom machines” They gave us a walk through tour… I gotta say that TJ & I were blown away. It is crazy to see all of the years of research & design that goes into a windshield! They make it all!!!! When the box has a sticker that reads: Made in USA that is including the hardware, the plates, the brackets & even the bolts & screws come from small companies right there in memphis! Talking about giving back to the community & supporting each other! We loved it! Made it to Tupelo MS & stayed the night. Total mileage for day 1: 376 miles New app that I am trying… Upside! Anyone familiar with it or want to try it?!? It gives you cash back from certain gas stations & restaurants 🤷‍♀️ I’m all about anything with gas this high! Click this link or use promo code XJEF9G to get an extra 15¢/gal bonus the first time you make a purchase. https://upside.app.link/XJEF9G Day 2 7/12: Tupelo MS to Bremen GA was such a nice ride that we were shocked at how the weather was cool & cloudy… we both had expected another hot day of riding. Like Matt Griffin has said: it’s amazing how nice 85 feels after a 100 degree day. Stopped at Hooligan HD & grabbed a few pictures… it is a small dealership but kinda neat! Directly behind the dealership though is a Mellow Mushroom & we had to get our picture with the giant mushroom statue! Hung out with Ret & Brett at KST Kustoms - did a tour of their facility. Got to see a few sections that see off limits & “CANNOT BE RECORDED” which was super cool! What we could record will be in the video 😁 Learned that the stock HD bars are made just 10 miles down the road from KST! Crazy! Learned what a “Texas” margarita was…. It just has more tequila. 😂 we call that “extra shot” super simple. The whole “Texas Margarita” on the menu threw me for a loop! Made it to Carrollton GA & stayed the night. Total mileage for day 2: 261 miles Day 3 7/13: Carrollton GA  to Wake Forest NC Drove most of the day! Drove up to Wake Forest NC to hang with Custom Dynamics crew….

Super cool new feature! Took our time riding out to the Atlantic Ocean & stopped at ALL of the look out points once we hit the ocean’s coast including Chesapeake Bay. Made it to HWY 50 to start the “Loneliest Road in America” ride! 3,073 miles to Sacramento. Total mileage for day 4: 311 miles Day 5 7/15: Ocean City MD to Winchester MD 220 miles The amount of history that we got to see first hand was amazing!!! United States Capitol building, Pentagon, White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Federal Reserve & the Smithsonian Museum oh & the Arrington Museum! We didn’t cover very many miles today but it was more about content & the ride that may never get to do again!! Total mileage for day 5: 220 miles Day 6 7/16: Winchester MD to Circleville OH Stopped at a gas station that has a little bit of everything including their famous footlong hot dogs…. Yeah not my thing! Not sure why they are famous but they were only $3.00. lol No rooms available in Chillicothe OH so we had to ride 18 miles up north of HWY 50 to Circleville OH Total mileage for day 6: 337 miles Day 7 7/17: Circleville OH to Vincennes IN We rode in the rain & then more rain!!! It literally rained & stormed the entire day from Circleville OH into Indiana. Total mileage for day 7: 303 miles Day 8 7/18: Vincennes IN to Ottawa KS We started out on an early note & quickly discovered that our SENA’s were giving a lot of static & reverb…. There was still water & moisture in them from the day before. The RickRak phone mount that they just created…. got so hot that it melted! Steph’s phone charger on the back of the bike stopped working as well as the usb H-D charger that she uses to stay connected & work from the back of the bike. Steph’s windshield on her helmet cracked TJ’s chin guard on his helmet cracked Lets just say that today was full of BS! Total mileage for day 8: 482 miles Day 9 7/19: We rode over to Kinsley, KS to meet up with Dennis (2 Wheels & A Road Discovering SouthWest Kansas) & had lunch with his sweet wife, Deb! Stopped to see Midway USA which is halfway point of the USA. (1561 miles to New York & 1561 miles to Sacramento) Stopped at Boot Hill in Dodge City, KS to grab some tourist required photos. Dennis rode with us for about 3 hours to the Colorado border. Ottawa, KS to La Junta, CO… some pretty nasty storms were in Pueblo, CO. We stopped before the lightning & found out that most of the town had no wifi, service & electric. Total miles for day 9: 502 miles Day 10 7/20: Left out of La Junta & headed towards Moab, UT Took a little detour off of HWY50 in Canon City to see the Royal Gorge Bridge… we crossed over it last year but this time we took the extra moments to see the wooden suspension bridge that you can walk over! We didn’t walk over the bridge but did go see it! :) Crossed the Continental Divide - Monarch Pass… which was very impressive! Got held up along the mountain passes with construction. We spent probably an hour over all throughout the afternoon in construction. Didn’t make it to Moab, UT but stopped in Grand Junction, CO Heat today was horrible! 108 degrees & looks like tomorrow will be a little hotter than today. Put sunscreen on twice today & still got burnt! Total mileage for day 10: 352 miles Day 11 7/21: I think we seen more today than what we expected!! Moab was amazing & breathtaking! So much beauty… We road from Grand Junction to Moab to see Arches National Park & then back up to HWY 50 then on into Delta, CO with our minds set on staying there however the one little hotel they had didn’t have an elevator nor a ground floor room available so we said the hell with it & kept riding. The weather was perfect! We got to Ely, NV right before sunset & grabbed a room at the Ramada. Every hotel there is also a casino & every casino they have is filled with smoke. We don’t smoke & don’t care if you do or not but I don’t want to smoke so don’t blow the shit in my face or stand next to me with your smoke going into my lungs LOL rant over** Anyways the hotel said the online reservation hadn’t came through there system but they did have a room for us. She advised us to go upstairs to their restaurant & have dinner. After dinner we walked back down stairs & the lady said… oh sorry your reservation went to our overflow & we don’t have a room for you. To hell with that… Eureka, NV was only 78 miles farther. The night riding was pretty badass! We did have a huge ass Elk walk in front of us on the highway but with the help of Custom Dynamic’s ProBeast horn & HogTunes Wild Boar audio… we scared the shit out of him! Total mileages for day 11: 586 miles Day 12 7/22: Had a great night in Eureka, NV at the little Eureka Gold Country Inn or some words along that order! They close the office each night at 10pm & we booked last nights room at 9:38 :) Just in time. Rode from Eureka, NV on into Sacramento, CA Riding along Lake Tahoe so cool!!! Lake Tahoe town… super touristy & of course highway 50 rides right through the middle of all the crazy! Stopped in El Dorado right before Sacramento so that we can gather our thoughts, update social media & have a nice clean comfy bed before we end our highway 50 ride!

Your typical rally... what comes to mind? Parking your bike, drinking way too much beer, walking around the same vendors as last year, waking up the next morning with a hangover & getting that shirt that says: I got shitfaced at the Daytona Rally. The ”rally” we just left was not your typical rally as in we ALL rode. Talimena Rally Cruisin’ for St. Jude is truly all about the kids. Be on a selfish note… I needed that. I feel like I took more from this rally than I gave! The rally is every year during the memorial day weekend; Friday & Saturday. Friday was breakfast with a little announcements & KSU 8am. We rode the hills of South Arkansas was provided lunch & returned back to the convention center around 3pm where there was music & dinner provided! Saturday… same thing! The rally registration provided you with Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner as well as the rally shirt & LIVE music. Saturdays ride was one that TJ and I should have done years ago… Queen Wilhelmina State Park I’m Mena, Arkansas. *an amazing ride to say the least. Now, roughly 300 bikes & close to 575 people…. Why? It is all about the kids. I listed a few milestones of St. Jude’s Children Hospital. Some of us have never had to walked the halls of a Children’s Hospital however some of us have. Some of us have children that are healthy & striving however some of us have children that know these halls like the back of their hands. Seeing hundreds of riders coming together to raise money for these kids…. It is a knot the size of baseball in my throat! It isn’t one that is just sitting there that I can swallow & retract my tears… it is a heart wrenching void that so many selfless bikers are stepping up to just give back!! if you aren’t familiar with this ride… please check out their event page & Facebook group!! There is a fire & a desire to Pay it Forward!! #ridewithpurpose #bikerspayitforward a quick side note… The Talimena Rally has raised almost $400,000 for St. Jude - this is NOT including what was raised this weekend including Sponsors, Silent Auction & Raffle Tickets. A few milestones: 1966 A group of St. Jude patients are the first acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients to ever be successfully taken off therapy, based on evidence that remission can be sustained. 1977 The hospital launches the first major effort to understand the lifelong progression of sickle cell disease. 1984 We open the After Completion of Therapy Clinic, the world's largest long-term follow-up clinic for pediatric cancer patients. 1996 Peter Doherty, PhD, St. Jude Immunology chair, is awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. 2006 St. Jude reports a 94% survival rate for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), using therapy that does not include radiation. 2007 The St. Jude LIFE study begins to study the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. This initiative is one of the most ambitious follow-up projects ever conceived. 2008 St. Jude is designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center. We're the first and only cancer center solely focused on pediatric cancer to receive this distinction. 2010 We launch the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, a collaboration with Washington University to uncover why childhood cancer arises, spreads and resists treatment. As part of the world’s largest such initiative, scientists compare the complete normal and cancer genomes of 800 childhood cancer patients with some of the toughest and least understood pediatric cancers. 2018 St. Jude and World Health Organization announce a five-year collaboration to transform cancer care by curing at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide by 2030. 2019 St. Jude announces a cure for SCID-X1, commonly known as bubble boy disease. By combining gene therapy and low-dose chemotherapy with busulfan, immune function is restored in infants with the disorder. This is another CBD blog from the squaw!

For multiple years we have been reaching out & fostering a new community of helping others - giving that needed hand up! The Ornery One Pays It Forward has raised $55,000 over the last 4 years helping a wide range of individuals, families & organization. The Ornery Ones; myself & Stephanie, have held 8 Pay It Forwards all across the USA. However, none of them have been solely us who has contributed & made these events happen! These random acts of kindness happen because of all of YOU! It is you who have shared the stories, commented on the videos, interacted with the posts, donated money, bought Christmas presents & simply sent positivity! The Ornery One Pays It Forward is more than that which prompted a name change: “Bikers Pay It Forward“ Our “Pay It Forwards“ include everyone & that is why we want to not only change the name but of course continue with all of our future fundraising as a community! Check out our website tab: Bikers Pay It Forward to read about the past events as well as any upcoming events that you can help us with! Our 2022 Pay If Forward event will be centered around Bikes Blues & BBQ, Pig Trail Harley-Davidson & Rainwater Holt Sexton! We are still in the works for more details but will be releasing them soon!!! Thank you so much for all the support & positive vibes over the last multiple years - here's to a brighter & bigger future!! TJ & Stephanie The Ornery Ones

We are nearing the end of our 1st week here at Pig Trail Harley-Davidson of The Big Boar build. This first week has be amazing & also a challenge; we knew this first week would have some adjustments. Although we will be here for 6 weeks; we fully know that it would not take 6 weeks to build the bike we are dreaming of. This is my weekly layout: Record for 2 days Produce and upload videos for 3 days Catch up on sleep, family & everything else in my life for 1 day Update website, ship merch, charge batteries & prepare to start recording for 2 days repeat "Ready, Set... Go" will be replaced with "Record, Produce... Repeat!" Literally with only 4 days into this build; I have learned so much about motorcycles. Let me rephrase that... "I have learned so much about OUR motorcycle." We have already covered a large amount ground but that is just what we are seeing... I now take all this content, knowledge, pictures, sounds, short clips & bloopers turn them into videos to share with you all! It is a fun experience for sure & I hope you guys all follow along on this journey! -the squaw

Each of our Pay It Forwards have a story & each story has some incredible people involved just like "A LOVE STORY STRONGER THAN CANCER" If you are not familiar with the Wilson family then please take a moment to read their story on our website under our Pay It Forward tab. Here is the link: theorneryone.com/2020 We wanted to give you an update over the past year. Update on Chris: Throughout 2021, Chris continued chemotherapy. This therapy has not helped the new implant of cancer in the rectum. He has also had surgery every 2-3 months to replace stents to help with kidney function. The new(ish) tumor that was pressing against the ureter (the tube that transports urine from kidney to bladder) was invaded by cancer. We just learned yesterday 3/4, that left kidney is functioning at 80-85% and his right is functioning at 15-20%. He suspects that when Chris was on the hardcore chemotherapy for that year and a half- two years, it caused some damage. This explains why he had began having issues with stones and uric acid crystals after surgery in 2020. He said the inside of the kidney looks great, but the outside, the muscle is damaged and causing it not to function properly. He is worried about trying to reconstruct the ureter because of the area and if there was ever a need for radiation, it could destroy the work that they do. His goal is to reconnect the ureter, however that is impossible to know before going in. If he can’t, he feels it would be best to just remove the kidney. Chris will be having surgery on 3/25. During this procedure, the colorectal surgeon will be removing the tumor that formed on the rectal stump. She will remove all of the large intestine and close up the fistula. The ileostomy will stay in place (where liquid stool will come out of the stomach and into a bag). She will attempt to do this robotically but cannot guarantee that will be successful given all the work she had to do in 2020 and the possibility of scar tissue. We are fervently praying that she can do it robotically. If not, she would have to open him up again, sternum to pubis (chest to pubic area), which has risks, a harder recovery, like last time, many unknowns. Then when she is done, the urologist will go in. He is likely to open Chris up umbilicus to pubis (belly button to pubic). He likes to visualize and be able to palpate (touch/feel) the tissue to distinguish healthy tissue from cancerous tissue. He also said that the location that the cancer invaded the ureter makes it difficult to do robotically. Once he is in and can see what’s going on, he will call me and give me options to decide what to do or what he has to do. If they do end up reconstructing, it’s a longer recovery/longer stay in the hospital. I pray that they can reconnect and leave the kidney… my thoughts are that even if it’s only functioning at 20%, at least it’s helping the left side along. Though, there is a possibility that Chris will need to continue to have stents. Really it’s a hard decision because there are positive and negative outcomes for any choice we make. Additional update 3/4: we got Chris’s medical records. The latest scan from 2/25 showed the tumor in the pelvis getting larger and there was a lymph node significantly larger than normal. The tumor in the pelvis hasn’t responded to the treatment he has been on since December 2020. They did the biopsy of the ureter and it does show adenocarinoma (with markers indicating colorectal cancer), but it is not the same as the HER2/Neu ( biomarker or DNA) of the original cancer. The metastasis to the liver are HER2/Neu… and even though Chris hasn’t had treatment since January, the liver mets continue to decrease in size 🙌🏼 because it is an immunologic agent. Please pray that this new tumor is fully removed without cell implant, for there to be no new metastasis. And for the treatment needed after surgery for the pelvis to not negatively affect the kidneys (YES KIDNEYS, because I am praying and hoping for him to keep both). As far as my job goes- I am looking for work. The problem I have is the uncertainty of cancer. We are trying our best to live in today and not worry about tomorrow… but, something may come up where I need time off. The way it looks, it may work out in our best interest… The position I am currently in will no longer exist within the next 30 days. I possibly have an option to transfer or this could be my opportunity to go elsewhere. I love my job and the people I work with…. I’m sad to go, but thankfully it’s because Covid is going waaay down (YAY!) Right now, I do Pre-procedural Covid testing, Pre-Admission testing, and working recovery on the endoscopy suite. I’ve only been averaging 25ish hours a week (without missing work), which has been hard financially. There has been a lot of missed work due to Chris’s appointments, a hospital stay, Jacob’s health and hospital stay, and then I ended up sick. I have been blessed by my opportunity though, as I have been able to grow as a nurse and work in different areas of healthcare. After Chris has this and we get through that, things should *hopefully and prayerfully* calm down. There will be a long hospital stay and recovery, but we are believing that things will be calmed down afterwards. Hopefully, I will have something lined up to jump into after all that. I do love CoxHealth, so transferring would work out great since I’m there… if I can find something that fits, but I am also weighing options to stay closer to home. Anyway, thank you to all who have kept up, prayed, encouraged, and supported us. We are approaching 4 years into this battle. Thank you for standing with us. We aren’t ready to back down and we hope you won’t either!" Here is the YouTube link about Chris & Shanah Wilson: https://youtu.be/GWya6Px-PLo Here is the GoFundMe link to help Chris & Shanah Wilson: https://gofund.me/d9fb05a3 Please, we ask that if you can help support Chris Wilsons fight against cancer to please donate, share, like, comment or simply send a positive vibe their way! Thank you guys so much for the love & support that has already been poured out to this family!! We are all in this together!! Our Pay It Forwards are not a one time story as it effects the life of an individual & in Chris Wilson's situation; it is the whole family that is fighting!! Please share Chris Wilson's story

Back on the road & where we feel more comfortable. Of course we feel comfortable at our own home but when we are on the road there are no hotels that actually makes us feel relaxed & comfortable. Relaxation… It is on this motorcycle that we ride!! don’t get me wrong at all; we have some amazing friends that welcome us to their home, feed us & give us all the luxury items that we need but nothing gives us the feeling of being on the road loaded with all of our belongings for the trip. I’m not sure if everyone has those feelings but I think for us… it is a feeling that developed the more we ride. Daytona Bike Week is officially over but at the same time 2022 riding season has officially started! We are heading back to the Ozarks & currently have 833 miles left! To say when we will actually ride up to the front porch of our house is questionable because today was daylight savings plus we are crossing over EST to CST; way too much thinking & math for me to figure out the ETA. We have so much on our minds that it is hard to be in the moment!! Once we get home we will have about 3 days to wash clothes & load everything back up so we can start The Big Boar build. The Big Boar build will be 6 weeks of rebuilding, modifing & customizing a new 2022 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited at Pig Trail Harley-Davidson. The drive to the dealership is a little under 2 hours which doesn’t make sense to make that drive 4-6 times a week for 6 weeks which is around 4 hours of each day just driving. So, we rented a little AirBnB from our friend which is just a few miles from the dealership. This is going to allow us to be on site to record & produce videos of the build. We have a few goals during the build: • 2-3 videos produced each week • Friday Night LIVE to recap the produced & uploaded videos including having a guest on the LIVEstream. • 25K subscribers on YouTube. We are currently at 21K I’ve got 13:36 hours remaining on this ride which I’m sure we will stop to sleep somewhere around Birmingham AL but this is just a little glimpse of my mind aka CBD (Chronicles of the Backseat Driver) - the squaw

We have a whole week full of planned shenanigans with some of our favorite people!!! We have several options for you to stop by & hangout... maybe even a hug or two oh plus stickers!!!! We do even have a "special" unseen sticker that will be available only in person. All other times during Daytona Bike Week that are not listed on the Hangout's schedule... you can find us either on the strip, at the racetrack or bellied up at a bar (**probably froggys)

I always have amazing ideas while we are riding... or so i think! Ideas that I think are brillant are the ideas that TJ looks at me with a "certain" look and then my ideas don't always come to life. But let me tell you about CBD! Not the CBD that you are probably thinking of.... CBD stands for Chronicles of the Backseat Driver. :) Yep that's me and these are my chronicles. 28 degrees as we left out of Northwest Arkansas to head towards New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Our actual destination will be Daytona Beach for Daytona Bike Week but any excuse to party in the Bywater will be the best detour. Although leaving Sunday morning was not as smooth as we had planned. You see I washed all the dirty dishes & cleaned the kitchen the night before then getting a few hours of sleep; however, I didn't wake up to a clean kitchen with nice clean dishes. We woke up to a smoke filled kitchen! Battery acid & melted plastic covering the cleaned countertops & dishes that I had prepped & worked hard for! Duhan Heated Gloves were on our list of items to try out during these first few months of the riding season. The company reached out to us last year in which the cold riding months had already passed us by. (that is one thing about us... we put product to the test in the elements they are designed for which may take months to achieve) The thought of TJ getting to ride with some heated gloves was exciting & a relief at the same time. My hands can easily go into my pockets & stay... his not so much! Ok so let's get to the point: battery acid & melted rubber along with burn marks all in my countertops! pissed us the fu¢k off to say the least. So glad that our youngest smelt the fire & heard the battery explode!! This is a brand that we do not recommend. Can I get a hell yeah or a mic drop?!? We may have just saved your house from being burnt! -Steph (your backseat driver) aka: The Ornery Squaw
