If you're reading this, I guess it means you found your way to the "new" blog. It seems to now be hosted by Google so I had to do a little manuevering to get us here... hope it's working for everyone.
John and Joe are at some UNL football party tonight here in Omaha. A friend of John's is involved in this every year where they invite a grad assistant from the staff to come and talk to them...they charge admission, serve pizza and beer, and sit around all evening, hanging on every word this guy has to say. Joe has gone the last couple of years...he's just as nutz about this football stuff as his dad... it's fine...it gives them something to talk about. Joe is anxious to get back into mowing..he's looking at bigger trailers, more gadgets, etc. John will probably try to find a newer truck for himself, and we'll sell his truck to Joe, so that will get him by for a few more years.. He wants more customers, but can't afford to get too big either, until he's out of school.
I wanted to let you all know that Friday, Febr. 16, is your Aunt Marge's 85th birthday, if anyone would like to send her a card.. I'm sure she'd love to hear from all of you. She's gotten along great with her chemo treatments and only has one more round to go...
Things are so busy with my job... our little company has plugged along all these years (28 that I've been there this summer!) and grown from 35 people to 140 now. Last year we hired over 40 new employees.. most of the growth is being fueled (pardon the pun) by the ethanol boom... they're building plants all over the country and we're supplying the equipment... our salesmen are having to turn down business...they can hardly spit out the words when they have to do that! We think this will have a 3-5 year run, and then we'll need to have other products ready to go to continue the growth.
Here's our Cotton Bowl picture...
love, Sue
