Well that is one of the main reasons I got rid of the towing. The last year year and half or so the washer business really picked up so I knew I had to get rid of the towing in order to keep up. My dad also helped me with the washer business but for health reasons can't help much anymore so that of course made things much busier for me. When I first took on the towing it was a bad time for the hog market and hog barns are 75% of my washer business so when the pig market went in the crapper I needed something to stay afloat and towing was easy fill in and low overhead so it worked perfect till the hog market came back around and I got busy again.

I think the recovery is due to all the bacon propaganda on the internets.

Hey Troy! It's going pretty good here. Had Supper tonight at a normal hour and now I'm just catching up on some stuff tonight. I have another work-free day tomorrow with only one class at noon before my weekend comes and I work both Saturday and Sunday. How's Suppertown treating you tonight?

Good evening everyone. How is everyone tonight?

i had the displeasure of having a meeting at Normandale Community College in Bloomington today. I normally don't mind, but I'm not sure we gained anything from the meeting and the ride up and back was not so good for me. 6 of us went. I ended up in the backseat of the mini-van we took up. Not so good for me. I felt like I was going to upchuck by the time we got there. That feeling lasted for the next few hours until we finally got some lunch. Felt better until we got in the van again. ugh ... Next time, I'm driving.
