Blew 200 bucks, and "yes" it was Horrid Freight

HF has a lot of good stuff. I bought one of their 3 1/2 cubic foot cement mixers about 3 years ago. I don't use it often, but it works great, and I have let friends use it. Beats the heck out of a hoe and a wheel barrow. Plus it's kind of fun to use.
