When the tractor needs greasin' and they ain't taking it, it's time.

Not hard to do there. We go there every couple or three weeks and usually don't walk out with less than $400 bill.

Going through the zero turn yesterday greasing it up, etc to start the season. One of the idler pulleys on the mower deck had broken and was sticking up.

Dealer about 25 miles away had a bunch in stock, so ran over to get one. Decided to buy two to have a spare in case one of the other pulleys breaks.

Get home and go put the new spare idler pulley on my shelf of spare parts. What do I see? A spare pulley sitting there. I seem to recall having to replace one years ago, so I must’ve bought a spare one back then too.

Good insurance…

You have just insured that you will never need to replace it again!
Murphy's law lol

pair of choker hooks were delivered today https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0833GQGNQ

3 gallons of Delvac 1 ESP 5w-40 synthetic for the wife's Ram Cummins.

I had lots of T-6 Shell synthetic
but the smell for the first 1000 miles or so she can't stand...

 

[kittyhawk]

Gas was slightly more... I read this AM the govt. shut down US oil production and started buying from Venezuela again.
National reserve remain depleted.
What a mess.

I'm not sure where are getting your information but that is FAKE news. My Wife is in the Oil and Gas industry and can tell you that is totallllllly incorrect. The GOV cannot Shut down Domestic production and the petroleum reserves along the gulf coast are almost at capacity.

 

[bigtiller]

A quart of shellac to slow the oozing resin in knots on my picnic table.

 

[scootr]

A locking safe to transport firearms legally in CA to the range.
Skinny jeans. Well one size smaller any way... lol. Yeah Keto.

You can keep your skinny jeans!

What did you buy for a gun case? I missed a nice aluminum 4-gun case someone was selling on Accurate Reloading for $275

I usually take 3-4 guns to the deer lease each time I go. I put them in soft cases in the back seat of the crew cab, but it's a PITA. One nice multi-gun hard aluminum case that I can drag out, put in the bed and run a cable through would be a lot nicer.

Gasoline.
Locally it was going up $.14 a litre overnight. That's aboot $.55 a US gallon.
I was going out anyways so I took 4 jugs with me.
My usual station had more cars lined up than a manure pile has flies in the summer.
Probably an hour wait to save $5-8 per average tank not to mention the gas you burn in line and the potential for arguments...
Went and got my other things and went down gasoline alley. Same story.
Except one station. They were a penny, 1 cent, more and almost nobody there.
Got my gas. Paying the penny more cost me $1.50 more than waiting up to an hour in line but saved me about $20-22.
Sometimes it's the small victories.
For all youz Mericans it works out to aboot $6.75 a US gallon Looney money.
Latest exchange rate has that around $5/gal Mexerican.

 

[kenmbz]

Gas is up over $4/gallon here again :-(
Bought some filters for the tractor. Some supplies for the pool and some mulch.
Got a small tree, need to buy oil for tractor.
Where did all the money go :-(
No tools or tractor attachments, bills to pay.

My skinny jeans are wrangler relax fit... just a smaller waist due to diet changes for diabetes. lol.
I just got a cheap lock box from amazon to comply with new CA handgun transport regulations.
The steel box will hold 2-3 guns. I'll see when it gets here.
