Pat - I'll be there Friday, hope to make the 11 am meet up. No disk this year, I'll be driving my roller skate so can't take home anything bigger than a t shirt. Maybe some power steering parts. And a new hat. cheers, Creek ------------- Have spacesuit, will travel |

It's a sad day around here, I will not be making this road trip, I get to thinking about going North and walk in the shop and see all the sick AC tractors in need of help and sometimes I think they was asking for help well a good AC wrench bender just can't walk away from their calls for repair, so all I can say is maybe next year again just like I have said for years now. Be safe and have fun up there for me!!!

Leaving tomorrow morning. Not sure if I will make the 11 am meetings but will be co-teaching the snap coupler seminar Friday and Saturday at 8:30 AM. Everybody have a safe trip. The weather is going to be against us in the heat department so please keep cool and hydrated. Jim ------------- An open eye is much more observant than an open mouth |

Dave, where in New Ulm are you staying? Thats where we are staying Thursday- Saturday. That's as close as I could get to Hutch. I guess that's what I get for waiting till May to book a room. We will be at the Econo Lodge. |

David, also staying at Econo Lodge Thursday nite. Have rooms in Hutch after that. Like to get a head start, so going all the way to New Ulm on Thursday, then get to the show at a decent time on Friday. Gonna try to go to a tour of the Schell Brewery on Thursday when we get there. Maybe hook up with you. I'll be wearing orange! Dave |

Thanks Ray, I over booked the shop and one of the owners of a tractor I working now even told me to close-up and come North this weekend but I need to get some-more tractors out of here, I have enough tractors here right now to have my own show  but I will be up there next year and have some friends that will drag me out of the shop if I try to back out again.  ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

Got into Hutch this morning and stopped out to Larry's for a short visit. They have everything out for display. Some for sale. Then went over to the fairgrounds. Lots of equipment coming in and folks setting up in the buildings. We are at the AmericInn in Litchfield. Planning on going over early tomorrow to get through the swap area before it gets too hot. |
