Just came from the coffee shop. Word is the the owner of the feed store has the go ahead to turn the place in to a bar and restaurant. The neighbor and I got to talking. I've got an 80 that butts up to the village limits and he lives right next to it. He used to have a gas station in town that did more mechanic work than pumping gas. It was quite a hang out as well. He had a table and chairs,always had the coffee on,sold snacks. He works for a big cash cropper here now,does all the mechanic work,is the manager of the other employees,etc. He's 62 and was talking a while back about retiring but still working a little part time. Well...I told him I was going to put up a new building right next to his house. Told him he was going to work for me. We'd sell feed,baler twine and more important,we'd be a dealer for A&I Products or Tisco and sell parts. Maybe do a little mechanic work in the back room,sell equipment out front on consignment. We'd have a place to sit down,free coffee,a barrel of peanuts,Coke in glass bottles. He said if I'd build it and stock it,he's in and he meant it.Even said we could put a buzzer on the door that would ring in to his house for after hour sales. I am SO close to going to the bank and pulling the trigger on this thing. Something that we're gonna have to talk to our wives about. Everybody in the coffee shop said they'd be there to drink the free coffee. They all agreed there was a definate need for it and thought it'd be a huge success. Don't know...still thinking...

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
