[AT] Off topic but tractor related / now heat

[charlie hill]

Hi Mike.  Yep, they do the same thing here.  In fact they just did the road 
by my house a couple of weeks ago.  I just wasn't familiar with that name. 
I don't know or remember exactly how they did that bridge.  I just remember 
what it looked like and how hot it felt on my feet.

Charlie
