[AT] rain; now Grain Drill

[charlie hill]

Glad you got some rain.  We were predicted to get thunder showers last 
night.  Unexpectedly it started to rain about 9 pm and rained a slow easy 
rain almost all night.  I don't know how much but it was a nice soaking 
rain.

Did you go to the Garner store?  I most often use the Greenville NC store. 
It is the closest to me.  The orriginal store is the one in Garner.  There 
is also one in Petersburg Va now.
