I've got absolutely no problem with the Mennonites

I lived in the part of PA that he referenced, and while it was mostly Amish, there were plenty of Mennonites, and we hired from both camps. You'd be surprised about the level of automation the Amish are familiar with. Their houses may not have one electrical wire in them, but their dairy barns are on the ragged edge of technology.

The Amish guy I bought my Clydesdales from has a brother that makes furniture. He powers his shop with a couple of big Belgians (horses, not men) that walk on a treadmill all day. And their horses are so well broken and good mannered that they wouldn't take off even if they could.

One of the daughters was eying me with a look I can only describe as curiosity, I think she sensed this Yank was a bit of a bad boy, ha ha!

You aren't allowed back into the US until this has developed into a worthwhile story!

I've already named it the Mennonite Bulldozer Story. There's too much mechanical machine talk not to include the bulldozer!

Like anyone else, their morality is on a sliding scale of justification. In my former business I'd compete against them, and there was a lot of less than legal/ethical choices. But for the most part, they seem to be god people.

Well, I wouldn't go that far but they do seem to be good people.

I keep thinking of the movie Sex Drive. All the parts with the Amish were hilarious.

There is a town not too far from Midland called Seminole with a large population of them. They build some awesome storage buildings for a lot cheaper then most and do damn good fabrication and remodel work. They are like Amish with power tools.

I like the Mennonites. I go to Lott once a month because the Mennonite auto parts store is less than half of everyplace else for r134a. When I go there I always stop at Millers Deli for the best turkey sandwich I ever had and their candies and vanilla cream soda is excellent. Always polite, clean grounds, great food, fair prices and nice buildings. After buying lunch and refrigerant yesterday I decided to stop at the butchers there that has killer beef jerky. I only had my card but he didn't take cards and I didn't have my check book as well. He gave me my pound of jerky and just said mail him a check. He does not know me, that really surprised me. Sent him a check for a bit more than I owed.

Good to know, I try to avoid Lott for their speed track reputation but it sounds like its worth the drive.

You need to get that stuff at Sams or Costco. $79.48 for 30 pounds.

I prefer to pay $65 and not go in Costco because I hate Bellmud.
