Hi Hugh, how are you? Yes, I am the product of parents who lived through the great depression, so I am very frugal. I save most everything and I drive two pickups for my businesses- one with 300,000 miles, the other with 441,000 miles. Could be that I am married to someone who is not quite like that! LOL. It"s true though; I"ve had to raise my prices for my hauling business 15 to 20%. However, as a farmer, what do we do, say to the Co-op "This year I have to get more for my soybeans. Fuel is up, ya know". I guess it"s just one of those things. Parts are up too, but it bugs me when stuff made in China costs as much as everything else. The local farm store used to have shoes made in the US (WI even) for $75 to $90. Now they have shoes made in China for $75 to $90. You have to look real hard to find the US ones. To be fair, the quality of stuff coming from China has improved in the last couple of years. Paul
