Jakob loaded his tractor on the trailer last night. We have 2 days of training tomorrow and Wed and are planning to be ready and loaded today to leave early Thurs morn. WHen he pulled it up on the trailer his new drive shaft came apart somehow, so he spent most of last night out fixing it. He was up and out working very early this mornig. He just came in and said that rearraning his system has changed something and he is now making really clean gas and itā€™s working quite well.
All that to say that we have quite a bit of excitement around here about the trip. Sorry you wonā€™;t make it Carl. Seems like a big crowd this year.
Look for us about 4 or 5 pm Thursdayā€¦All except Luke.
Bringing a bunch of lettuce. Hope everyone likes butterheadā€¦

Iā€™m trying to leave for Argos today. I was planing on bringing some stuff but I just could not get every thing together. I have some large pipe. It is bridge piling. 12" OD but spiral welded stuff about 3/8" wall in nice shape - not sure anyone wants to weld fins on it due to the wavy exterior. and some 10" ID that is a bit rusty
