Stihl the one! Stihl the best!

Loaded up with Stihl garden toys yesterday, brought over by good friend Stihl himself! Free hat in the bargain. Salivated over Stihl's brand new GMC truck.

Addendum:

Dear Steve,

I looked up some of those books your recommended and you know what? Love is the answer - and I don’t see much love coming out of the White House or Fox News or some of those books you recommended. Here’s my list of recommended books, in case anyone is interested…:)!

War and Peace
Brothers Karamazov
The Great Gastby
Pride and Prejudice
To Kill a Mockingbird

Good medicine!

Love to you and Margaret.
