No. But the facilities manager at my work used to do the same job for EH before the Hanlon Bros screwed them all. I got the mug from him. I think the mugs were of a much higher quality than their bikes.

Very wise move right there Jake!

I did say that. I feel like I let everyone down. I knew I should have bought a new sled at the same time. Sadly, the plow has already been used much more than anticipated.

Ah. That plant in Belle Plaine is now part of Cambria. It was something else in between EH and Cambria. Some Soy growers coop or something, I think. The big Super X sign is in a window in beautiful scenic downtown Le Sueur. They fix them, I think. They have also figured out that their licensing allows them to sell vehicles and they are now a used car lot, as well.


Good morning everyone.

Morning guys! Quick coffee and sandwich before I have to go to work at 11. Last night I went to the gun club banquet here in town and won two hats... Anyone want a Firestone or Mercury(outboards) hat?

Good Morning all.

Jake- Facebook is the primary method of communication for some people My mother as an example- Call her, voice mail. Text her, no response. email long delayed response. facebook? Answer with-in 15 mins. Really? yes. That's what this world has come to.

Also, good idea to not be quite so inebriated when dealing with a delicate situation.

Owning sleds sure sounds like a lot of work.

Have to run into the shop today to sell the thumper ported heads I used to have on the Mustang.
