Very nice prize Dave.  Are you going to bring your new toy to Baraboo next 
year?

> Rob was correct when he said that the engine was easy to start and ran like 
> a top--we had it running at 68-70 RPM's most of the morning on Sunday! 
> Tomorrow I'll see if I remember what Rob and Kelley taught me re: starting 
> the engine! Jake Faith will be here on Saturday to see my new toy and Arnie 
> will be over on Sunday so that we can "play engine" then. It's good to be
