I happened to bump into the NEW and improved AHONA trailer as it was getting dropped off today at the fair. I have a friend who is just a booth over from Mark on "energy row" at the fair. Today was just a lot of people setting up for the fair start on Sunday.

New goosneck trailer with a whole lot of boilers in there. There's some pellet boilers, and a pretty cool cut away of a vigas. Mark was headed back west to get the camper, so I didn't get to talk to him much other than telling me I don't need a new nozzle. I'm still gonna put a set on the shelf.. it's just how I am.

Stop and see him if you get a chance. Heck of a nice guy. I even saw some smoke dragons getting dropped off. There's soup to nuts out there at the fair. Stop and see my buddy in the Kohler/Cummins generator tent just next door.

I'm in school for 7 of the 8 days of the fair. Gonna make the last Sunday.

Does anybody know what gassification boiler reps will be at this fair? Is Chris Holley there from Garn?

I once had an Eko 60 and 1000 gallon tanks from Mark.. Those are my yellow stacked 500's in Marks ads.. I've since sold the place that had that set up... Yes, Mark is a first class person... Super smart and there for ya after the sale,,big time! Like you said, heck of a nice guy! He knows what he's doing and is fun as heck to listen to,,, he loves what he does and loves making sure you know what he's talking about.. All good karma there! Bet that is a great show!

It is a good show. I talked to him for a few years before buying. I even asked him why his, and not the others all along the row. He didn't bash.. but he pointed out the couple good ones, and the designs of many of the bad ones along "energy row" He was all about finding ME the solution I was looking for.

Mark was always a straight shooter.. He laid the cards on the table for you like you said about the pros and cons of his boilers and others.. I just enjoyed listening to Mark , lots of great info.. He built his own planes so you know he was all about quality. I loved how you could mention pipe size and run and out of the top of his head he could give you flow specs, head pressure , pump size, etc.. A very good person to know indeed. He just loves life and what he does.. Never met someone who was always so happy, no matter what was going on ...

I don't know what the heck two of those cast iron nozzles weigh..... But I do know that it's all you'd ever want to carry in an LL Bean backpack. Lucky I parked at my buddies camper site. I don't think I could have made the walk to my usual parking area. Good seeing you guys at the fair. Thanks again for the great service.
