[AT] Hail in the Heartland

[Ralph Goff]

We never know Dean. But they are predicting rain and possible snow for us
tomorrow so its very changeable here too.
Got a few pics uploaded at http://community.webshots.com/user/rusty6100 in
the machinery auctions album.
I'd never heard of a Manitoba portable engine before. This was a big one at
14 hp. Sure sounded good running.
