Damm,  That is a long way away from NE Indiana.    Jerry

It's a little ways if your hitch hiking.. but not on the opposite side
of the world.  I live in a province which does a very large part of
North America's agricultural equipment exporting.  In my current
day job we ship all over the world so..  anywhere in N.America is
what I'd call my 'Back yard' :-).
