[AT] Case Wheel weights

[Larry D Goss]

I've been thinking about you for the last couple of days, Mark.  The short 
version of the story is, I needed a new door mat that's made out of recycled 
auto tires.  Lehman's Hardware has them.  I was going to have you stop by 
and bring one to me at Portersville.  But then I thought, "I'll go down to 
Kidron after the Portersville show and pick one up myself."  But then my 
wife talked to me about it and said, "Why don't you just fix the old one?" 
So I got out a tube of Shoe Goo from the shop (which Farmer told me all the 
good features of years ago) and fixed it this afternoon.  The door mat is 
now around 20 years old.  With any luck, it is now set to last another 20 
years.  I used the Shoe Goo repair as suggested by Farmer to patch a pair of 
gauge wheels on my Kubota mower deck.  The patch on those lasted better than 
9 years under pretty adverse conditions.  For those that haven't used this 
product before, it is a glue that is specially formulated to repair the 
soles of sneakers.  Farmer knew of it because of one of his former lives as 
a cobbler, and he sent me off to the shoe department of Wal-Mart to get it.
