A good time had by all, and many thanks to Don for putting it together.

Re: [MBZ] IowaQ update!
Work in a small room with someone who drinks beer and eats German liver sausage every day. Makes chicken farms and paper plants smell sweet. I've heard of only one thing worse but never smelled it. Knew a trucker who hauled chicken guts from Macon, Ga to Gainesville, Georgia every night to be made into animal feed and fertilizer. He drove fast and frequently got caught by the highway patrol. While the patrolman was still in his car, he'd open the back hatch on the tanker and the gentle odor of chicken guts that had been simmering all day in the hot Georgia sun wafted over the patrol car. He never even got a warning ticket. The police would yell at him through a cracked window to slow down and then burn rubber to get away from it. All the cops finally heard about the "gut wagon" and just let him go.

I believe you are using the wrong terminology. To a farmer, it's the smell
of money.
And as anyone who's been down wind of a steel plant can attest to, there are
worse money smells.

Re: [MBZ] IowaQ update!
Paper plants are #3 on my list, #1 being a chicken farm & #2 being a steel plant (a smelting plant, not a recycling plant). Cow poo is way down on my list.

[MBZ] IowaQ update!
We had fun. No one got wasted and made a fool of him/herself, there was plenty of food (my frig is bursting at the seams with leftovers), and I got to drive Tommy's 1998 S420. I need one -- would look good in my garage. I am in LOVE. Robbin's 300D snapped my neck and made me reluctant to climb back into my 240D. My wife wants one just like it to replace her Buick. Everyone got to drive everyone else's cars -- including Kleb at the wheel of my Quantum. I am a bit disappointed that no one asked to drive my 240D, but I guess all attending had driven a riding lawn mower before. Summary for those who missed it. Weather forecast was partly cloudy with a 30% chance of rain. The 30% started about 10 pm last night and continued on and off all day long. Fortunately, I have a large garage so Debbie and I swept and cleaned all morning long, and the venue was ready at 11:45 (for a noon kickoff). Sixteen chairs from my business hauled in the back seat of a 240D and we had a party. In other words, my $2K deck, that should have been the cornerstone of the party, was not walked upon (except by a really cool dog). Thanks to all who attended. A memorable day and perhaps we shall do it again next year. After all, you can't get more center of the nation than Iowa! Several folks took pics but I forgot to take any myself.

Re: [MBZ] IowaQ update -- getting colder
63? Haven't seen 63F in probably 8-9 months. It might get down to 75 tonight... Still decent bike weather after the sun goes down, though. Just bought a Mustang seat for the Virago and took it for a spin tonight. No monkey butt here. Dan --- Tom Hargrave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > First frost?

Re: [MBZ] IowaQ update -- getting colder
Big-ass cold front rolled thru. I actually had to come home from work at 10:00 and put on a sweater. Changed into the "yippie wear" at lunch to go to a meeting, and the blue oxford shirt was enough to keep me warm during the afternoon. Gettin' chilly, though. Walnuts are falling so quickly that one needs a hard hat to check the garden. Dead leaves are starting to leave the branches. Only need to mow 1x/week rather than 2x/week. Ah, autumn is in the air and it feels good. Perfect motorcycle riding weather. On 9/14/07, Tom Hargrave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > First frost?
