My forte is hands on classes, can't get that experience any other way. I do have some online classes coming and these are prerequisites for attending the hands on classes. In the spring I might start some online consultation type classes for those wanting to buy a Boxster or 996, and want to learn the ins and outs of the engine issues.
Again, nothing beats hands on, and after 4 days of actually building an engine in a building full of attendees, I am whipped. These engines aren't mock ups, they are the real deal, and we use them for testing products after they are completed in the class.
The security dog is already taken care of and I just finished putting up one mile of fence around the property for the patrol to cover. I have German Shepherd security at my old location, because there's someone there most every day. Here there will be some days when no one is around, because I am the only person around, since its my personal getaway. It does appear that a Rott is the best for this, as they work better alone than other breeds. This is on top of the buildings security system, and a few other "options" that most people don't employ. One good thing about being in this area is no one bothers your stuff, and everybody knows everybody. I had a contractor show up one day in a vehicle that wasn't recognized, and the Mailman called me to let me know., when he couldn't get in touch with me, he confronted the person.
Security isn't a concern at any of my properties. A guy like me likes bad guys, they give us a reason to use our toys.
Someone mentioned Rifle Range... Well I have a 75 yard range at my old location, and a 300 yard range here at the new location. Here's the view off the second story, back deck. When people attend classes, I promise a very unique experience, much more different than they'd expect. I plan to have a social one night at each class, and I need to finish the bonfire ring before the inaugural class next month. Some form of wild meat will be on the menu :-)
