[Farmall] Brand new IH 140---saw it with my own eyes

[Mike Schmudlach]

Justin,
What are you doing in my area without permission.  Did you buy anything?
Did you go up the street where all of the good stuff is?
Remember that that is my secret place.
Now it is ruined and tainted with the scent of bargain hunters.
YOU WILL NEVER FIND THE AMISH WALMART.

Signed,
A very sad cheesehead.
