Do you ever go down south in the direction of Chicagoland?

When I go south, I take great pains to avoid Dailey's city. If I'm
heading
East, I'll cut south on I-39 to Rockford and on to I-80 then make the
turn.

I could meet you on I-294 (preferred) or I-80 to consummate some
transaction.

I lived 200 feet from the toll plaza on 294 just south of the Eisenhower
for
two years.

That was in 15 minutes from me.

I'll make it a point to come see you next trip south. i guess it won't kill
me to do Chicago one more time.

BTW, "The Kid" was all the way to Madison today. He picked up a 2 year old
zero turn lawn mower for $400 that sells new for $4K. It wasn't running. He
cleaned out the fuel tank, pickup tube, and installed a snowmobile fuel pump
for temporary trial. Runs like new. He said it took him two hours to fix it.
The guy only had a 1/4 acre lawn and never really used it. Nor maintained
it, from the story I heard.

Guess it was a good weekend for the Townsend clan.
