Trade Shows CENTS

[Jim Lang]

Met Mike and Pam Shepp and his lady friend (sorry I am having an elder moment and can't remember names) and Joe, spent the day looking and learning. I had planned on going for all three days as they have some great classes going on at the same time but could just do one day. Saw about half the show, and would have liked more time with that half.

For those of you serious about this as a business (I am on some days) a show is the greatest learning experience -- I found most people more than willing to share information and help.

hey jim the elder, :)

it took the full day for me to get thru the rest of the show.
i finally found what i am looking for with the pine fines.
i will be considered a contractor and get contractor prices bulk or bag . and pick up myself with my truck and trailer.
now i can get a little or what i can haul.
i think if i get bagged stuff i can store and use as needed.
and can deal in it also. it took another hour talking with the senior sales rep , it was his idea.
win win for us both. he also put me onto composted stuff.
sweet smellin stuff , i sneezed for 2 hours.
ohio yardman was there today! janet and i ate lunch with him and his wife.
nice people ,real nature lovers ;) they like to feed the local deer population their shrubs.:) what ever they grow for them they seem to like it. later jim

A dealer deal might work out pretty good.

If the pine fines are bagged -- count me as a customer my need is 5-10 bags at a time and right now no pick-up truck for hauling.

My appoligies to Janet for forgetting her name.
