Budd: Al Brasse says he wants everything you have and just drop it off in
Waterloo at his house or shop(this message unauthorized by Al Brasse!)
didn't say if he would pay cash or not!!!
then ere's Chuck HIll's Vanagon bone yard in N. Tama county down Hwy 21 if
Al Can't take them. Not sure if Chuck is back from FLorida spending all
his corn profits from last season yet.
I will likely get in trouble for posting this unauthorized message. At
least if both of them are hunting me down, there's a chance I'll escape.
