It's on Highway 66 on the N.W. side of Longmont.  Friend of mine owns it (unless he owes you money, then I don't know him).  His neighbor, Jerry, is a MM collector, his dad owned an MM dealership in Iowa.  What else do you need to know?

News to me, I'll have to call Dave to see what's up. Back a few years ago his mom was running the farm store and keeping his books, she would buy peaches from me each week for the store and to ask me if her son had bought any machinery that he hadn't told her about.  I usually told her I hadn't heard of any new purchases, "I know nothing!"

Where did you see the listing?
Never mind, found it on Big Iron.  Dave has a habit of buying things at sales and then not using them, sound familiar?

We've got lots of big fires going, and some small ones too.  The closest one started around noon on Sat**day and by 5pm had crossed the highway between Boulder and Lyons.  The ground levels out at that point and they were able to control that part of it  Close to 9000 acres in that fire, then another one SW of the big one, 315 acres.  Got those big choppers that look kind of like dragon flies with tubes hanging under them, can suck up a load of water from a lake and dump it on the fire.  Also several small 4 engine jets and a DC10 that can haul 30,000 gallons of water/slurry per trip but has to fly back to Colorado Springs to reload.  The aircraft have been working all the fires when they can fly.  The Cameron Peak fire is at 205,000 acres, started 20 miles or so south of the Wyoming border and now is 70 miles south of Wyoming, getting close to our county line.  I'm no longer saying "What's next"!

Glad they're not by you John!  I'd HATE to see those peach trees get hurt!  Have you got your reservation for Hutch next year?  It's going to be the GOTO also.

Shameless, got yours made??  GIT 'er DONE......

Ted, the peaches are 247 miles west of me, 38 miles from the Utah border, they are fine, just hope we get a big crop next year.
Haven't made any reservations yet, we will see how things work out.  You know, Shameless got himself a new trailer puller, maybe he will make it to Hutch next year and have that rig there so we can all bunk with him in it.
