[AT] On Topic: to be or not to be

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi Tyler,
	I'm in Greensburg, PA--just SW of Pittsburgh by about 30 miles. I show at many local shows (including Coolspring, PA) and am at Zolfo, FL (Pioneer Park Days) each year and also at SIAM (Evansville, IN), Findley, OH, Barraboo, WI, Portland, IN and Cotton Ginning (Gastonia, NC). About 12 shows in all each year. Most of my interest is in stationary engines, but I also mow about 4 acres of grass with my 1954 Massey Harris Pacer with a Woods L59 mower under it and have lots of respect for all the guys who know about and restore ANY kind of old iron--even tractors!
	Dave
PS, That 1954 Massey is, from your perspective, pretty old, but from mine it's just nicely broken in!
PPS, In life in general your father's advice is good! GIVER HELL!
