I live in Richfield, Minnesota, which is the first suburb south of Minneapolis, and west of the airport. Eagan is about 15 minutes southeast of here. Manny lives in Plymouth, which is on the northwest side of the metro. It takes me about 30-40 minutes to get to his house, so if you lived in Eagan, it would take you around 45-50 minutes.
I use the Stamp method regularly in my routine, but I would not consider myself an expert. I know how to do it, but I have never "taught" it to anyone.....
GR's shop is in Dousman, Wisconsin, which is a few minutes from the town I grew up in, Oconomowoc, which is about 30 miles west of Milwaukee. Unfortunately it is a 5-6 hour drive from Minneapolis.
Yes, it does get cold here. But that helps keep out the riff-raff......
