Who's going to Ricks for Free Food

oh and by the way IXLR8 we have 2 of those 3 pt hitch QA conversions in stock this year for you to put in the Jetta..;)
Amy thanks, but mother nature and scumbag thieves have conspired to keep me from being able to participate in this wonderful event. I have a drop dead date to get some work done to the exterior of my home before the contractor shows up. My wife even took 3 days off from work to help me get the work done so I could attend. :D It rained all 3 days. :( I put up some tarps and we worked under them in the rain... but under the tarps it was slow going and we were just not able to get the work done. Then last night I was at a friends apt complex in Mass... and my Golf was broken into, windows smashed, GPS stolen.. it is a mess. :mad: So I am going to be a no show this year. :( Looking forward to next years! :)

Boy, all you guys talking about these long distances you are driving. I kinda feel bad. I could drive a new tractor home from Rick's if need be.
I should be there. I have some family stuff going on. If anyone is coming from Rhode Island with an empty trailer, you want to make some money?

That sucks Jim, sorry to hear about the hastle.

As I've posted in the past, a buddy in college (U-Lowell) had his radio stollen a number of times from his old delta 88. Finally taped some razor blades to the underside of the last radio he installed. Someone tried to steel that one to, tried that was, his car was also a mess inside, a big red mess.

Swing by Rhode Island on your way, Joel, and I betcha Andy will give you that seal kit!

Geez, IXLR8...that sucks about the theft and damage. Hope your insurance company doesn't stick you. Car alarms are sometimes annoying, but they're what helps me know which direction to shoot....... Good luck with everything. Don't become distracted with the car incident. It's just some glass, and plastic (and a funny little voice on the dash telling you to turn right in 0.23 miles). Focus on the house with deliberation, not worry. You'll get it done. Keep us....uh....posted.

Okay guys be prepared to see a lot of stuff!!!
I haven't been on much because we have been working like slaves well at least I have been....
We have tons of manufactures reps coming with product!
WE will have lots of demos.
I thinking maybe even a zero turn mower race the clock coarse.
I am also putting together a skills test for those of you who think they know how to run a machine:D
We have order in a ton of shop manuals for most all the tractors and we will be selling them at great discounted prices.
Also some door prizes and some raffles also.
No Amy is not one of the door prizes nor am I going to raffle her off.
We just had or 16th year anniversary on the 22nd and she still has that gleam in her eye when she looks at me so I think I may keep her for a little longer.

Any how so far it looks like decent weather their saying around 70-75.
Couple of things that may interest some...
I have one of Kioti's new DS series tractors, one of Massey's new 1600 series, and one of Mahindra's new 35 series tractors that will be on display.
These are the newest models from the manufactures that I represent.

I have a $500 deductable, I can get the window for cost and install it myself ~$120.00, GPS was a portable unit, so insurance won't cover it. Insurance company is not going to be called/notified.. I don't want my rates going up. I know of several folks who had their cars broken into, items stolen, insurance company told them they were not covered. Next year they saw a 30% rise in their insurance rates... due to a reported 'incident' even though there was no claim made. :eek: The biggest hassle in all this is the GPS, I had a Garmin 2610, it was a great unit and is no longer made. The new ones have lots of goober features that I don't need or want, but don't work as well or are as flexable in setup as the 2610 was. My car alarm was on, doors locked, they just smashed the drivers window and reached in. Alarm still on, doors still closed and locked. My alarm system doesn't have vibration or motion sensors.... yet.

.

For those of you with new DK series tractors, I highly recommend the shop manual. Really useful and very well written and especially well illustrated.
