[AT] LeSueur pic is up

[Ronald L. Cook]

Dean,
	It is probably a result of some aviation training you received some 
time ago, but under the new methods, we typically go West to get to 
Beresford from most any point in Iowa. <vbg>
	I made it to Le Sueur swap meet a little too late to meet up with the 
fellows at Miller tire.  First time there for me.  Overwhelming!  First 
time ever at any kind of swap meet.  I bought nothing as all my funds 
plus any I can borrow are being used to get back in the spraying 
business.  I probably should have been a vendor!  I intend to be back 
there next year, though.  This old tractor and machinery monkey business 
might be habit forming.
