The client in Mason City is Corporate Farmer on 6th Street. I will be visiting them right after tax season. Also, my wife is spending two weeks each month in Atkins, IA to look after her folks (87 and 93) and I will be accompanying her sometimes. Perhaps we can get together for a beer or a lunch ?

>I'm not sure I can guess the client in Mason City. There are quite a few places. I'm sure I would recognize it though. Was it The Outer Edge?

>>Correct, but it was not the big guy on the north side of the highway. It was American Crane who specializes in refurbishing the tire changing trucks. The owner is married to my cousin and he is the inventor of the "Tire Hand" mechanism that fits on teh end of the crane and lifts and manipulates big tires.
