If the chickens stay out in the rain, it will rain all day.0 Hh/RI1iZI FIIEI INIECTION PAT & HEATHER DEJONG Ph: 519-482-7971 1-800-320-0666 Web: huronfuelinjection.com Highway #4 South • CLINTON "FUEL INJECTION SPECIALISTS" Diesel Fuel Pumps & Injectors Gasoline Injectors Turbo Chargers Starters & Alternators It's nice to fuel with Mth�i Nature!
