[quote="ryanbp01"]Sure do wish an appearance would be made in Indiana (maybe the State Fair?)! Barring that, how about the possibility of setting up another "Owner's Weekend" in Dayton"? I really regret missing the last one! It would be nice to know if admin. would be able to pass that along]

Mike-
Yes it is! I'm taking a break from tilling the garden and saw it. Send me a PM and I'll get in touch with other user group members. Maybe we can all meet there at the same time.

Went to the demonstration which was at the local Lowes today and all I can say is WOW! Dave Folkerth put on an excellent demonstration of the Mark VII. While I can't afford to do the headstock upgrade at this time, I did order the tilt conversion kit on the e-mail offer from him plus a a new combination blade. I am convinced the PowerPro is the way to go, but I must be patient while I save up the money to do do the conversion, hopefully by this time next year.

Can we assume he was 'working' out of Dayton rather than points west?
