Will, I couldn't agree more with your comments. Cheap thrill, free for the taking, it's the work up to that point that makes you grunt. As I mentioned earlier, the reversal of new buildings, everything is backward.

The Shooting Boom Forklift is an up grade I must wait for. This is what I am looking at. It would replace two pieces of equipment, the L-35 tractor and its attachments, and my old 6,000 pound fork lift. Someday, if the world holds together.
