Good morning Iowa! Another nice day up here, but the 90's are returning. Hopefully they will stay on the low end, instead of pushing triple digits.

Busy weekend... Had the tractor pull tonight, raised some cash, then the main fundraiser is Sunday. My new shop looks to have moved up a week, they want to possibly get started Tuesday already.

No, as I was working it trying to raise some money for my wife's treatments. I would have done it with the phone if I had. Mostly Chevys for the trucks, not a single Ford there. The tractors actually were mostly IH, but did have a couple AC's and a Deere and a Minneapolis Moline that broke...

Benefit auction did better than I had thought it did, turnout was lower than we had hoped, but was decent at least. The big plus is the Lutheran Trivent Foundation is matching our proceeds.
