National Farm Machinery Show

I really hope I can make it this year. It has been many years, but last time I was there I had a great time. I'm waiting to hear for sure, but I might be heading to Hawaii in February for work and that would be a tough job to turn down.

He invented and marketed a Barbed Wire un-roller after he retired. Thanks for the offer, but alas work will not let me away.

I've bought a bunch of those the last couple years. Always lose them.

His patent expired years ago and the big mfg's started having them made in China. I always told him that he invented just because I went away to school and he didn't have me to unroll his wire for him any more...

You probably did. He traveled a lot selling it at the various farm shows and had contracts with Southern States and other farm stores. The artwork on the cardstock, that some of the manufacturers are still using today, was drawn by one of his former students Ag students. Also, the Greenville Sun did a big two-page human interest story on him and his teaching career and his transition into retirement and selling the un-roller. I didn't hurt, that the writer of that piece was also one of his former students

Who else is coming and we need to decide which day or days?

Nothing set in stone, but if I do make it out it'll be Fri/Sat.

At least you don't have to drive through Atlanta or worse yet Nashville to get there.

I'm going to assume you've been to the Sunbelt Ag Expo down in Moultrie? If so, how do the two compare?

Yes we go to Moultrie every year, I think Louisville is larger and has more farm related vendors. Weather isn't a big deal when your inside looking around at all the equipment. Moultrie is neat because there's probably 500 acres of crops grown yearly just for the expo and each manufacturer has the chance to strut their stuff. Making hay is a big deal in Moultrie and this year hay day was rained out.

Swing by a pick up Kenny and JL and come on down next year. I have a nice camp to stay in and will cook some fresh seafood and prime steaks.

Where do you buy your prime steaks? We've had good luck with Costco.

By far the best meat shop that I've been to so far. Plus the beef is GAR genetics. Someone else told me Costco has really good meat, I have no idea where one would be around here though.

Thanks for the invite.

If I swing by and pick up those two, I might as well start adding to the bail fund now!
