[AT] another adventure

[Lane Freeman]

Cecil,
If you have any time left on the hour meter when you are finished at your
place, could you drive it on down to my place and dredge my pond for me.  I
only have a 12 ft reach with my backhoe and that 31 ft reach should reach
just about to the center and do a real nice job.  Just call before you get
hear so I can throw a few venison steaks on the grill for you.
