Too bad you aren't coming further east-even through Central MN were the JD tractor, bike, toy collection is. And I was going to show you the coal mine when you came through next but I up and changed locations/jobs. Land of the cheese now. Well, if I ever get a chance to take an actual vacation trip and not a bender to get tractor parts (like the 36 hr Wiconsin to Virginia and back) then I would like to do the same type of trip.
