Hey Cal,
 I think I would burn wood, too! My house has natural gas heat, which has gone from less than $40 a month, to about $65 in the last couple of years. I don't know if that hurricane will affect it or not, we have lots of gas well around this area. If it does, I might look into getting one drilled on the farm, we own the gas rights, there is a gas deposit on the property, well, at least we know there is a gas well on the neighbors farm.
Some folk out past where the gas lines end use propane. Coal is free if someone is energetic enough to dig it out of a 'dog hole', I can get all I want for free, we have a member who works in a mine, he will give it to me.
 I was talking to a fellow this summer in PA, where I was delivering, he was fussing about how much oil would cost him, about half what the market has risen to, he told me he had gone ahead and locked in the price for however much he would be needing, I think if I was to go see him today, he would probably be pretty happy he did.
 I hope you make the Dover show, I'd like to meet you, I'm the dumb one with the old dog!!! We are working on our logistics already. Depending on what resources are available. If push comes to shove, John will bring the trailer to Louisville, then I'll hook to it and bring it over here after the machinery show, to load it on the semi, and haul it to the Florida show, then bring it back to go to Dover next summer. I'll need to leave a couple of tractors at home, but you can't drive but one or two at a time anyhow. Dover is close for me, only a couple hundred mines, so, I have all kinds of options on that. Unless a chapter needs the trailer, I would guess that is how things will work out. I will be at both shows regardless.And I probably will bring Oliver Hart Parr, 2-3 Plow Tractor # 17 and my 1945 HG-68, one of the late ones that was painted green, the earlier ones were orange, I also have a 1944, it is orange. Maybe some day I will get an early 1945, then I will need to get a 1946, so I can show the transition from Cletrac to Oliver. The Hart Parr is the most collectable, you can could the ones left on your fingers, there were only 76 built, counting the Nebraska test tractor, which was converted from a Rowcrop, and bears a Rowcrop SN, but I just like the little crawlers, my 1945 is a family tractor, my Grandfather bought it, and I have a ball playing with it. If my bigger Cletracs are agreeable, I intend to bring them to Dover, for the members to play with in the crawler pit, probably will bring a couple with bulldozer attachments. I just have to smooth the pit up before I leave is all, the DDH will make short work of that.
Bring your 1255, I bet it is really unique, FWD and high crops always are. There weren't many of either built.

Have a great day!!!

Andy
