[Milsurplus] Little "Field Day" Genny, Remarkable Price.

[Bill Carns]

Thanks for the good laugh.  As a fifth generation corn farmer from Nebraska,
I would just ask you when was the last time you saw a corn farmer driving a
Mercedes?  Checked the price of corn lately?

Been out to survey the damage from the new phenomenon of ice thunder storms
and looked at what that will do to a pivot or a run of power lines?  About
$100K worth - in one winter?

Rich in tradition - yes!

It didn't even seem like a good idea back when Bush pushed it through, but
it sure made some farmers real rich!

I dislike using gasoline for generators anyhow, but it seems there's not
much choice for small ones.
