I first met Kevin while working as a credit manager at Northwest Airlines. ... http://7minutemiles.com/2009/06/07/fafinski-mark-johnson-open-house Last night we visited Canterbury Park in Shakopee to celebrate our friend Gina's birthday. Our group had two reserved tables on the upper level just off the finish line. I've never been up there before and I thought it was really nice - table service and bet runners meant you ... http://7minutemiles.com/2009/06/06/birthday-party-at-canterbury-park May was the month of the half marathon for me.

Master Sprinkler Systems said I should call their plumber (Duda Plumbing in Hopkins, 952-933-5636) with the part number. It's a Watts Regulator, model 800M4-FR, as far as I can tell.
