What did you buy this week?

Yup, should be lots of mint shape flood vehicles hitting the markets soon. Be very careful out there.

Watching some of the videos about NC/TN, many of the vehicles were washed down river and turned into instant scrap. Then there's river sediment everywhere it flooded. I'm curious how many flood vehicles will actually hit the market?

I wasn’t planning on buying a truck today but anyway I have another one.

Does paying labor count? I've had this house 45 years and ducts have never been cleaned!
The ducts were put in best I can tell in 1968, the new addition 1995. I did research and found a great business, man & his wife working together. They really had lots of equipment, ion generators & vacs running while they used power brush & UV light.
When through hours later the ducts looked brand new inside.
The guy wanted to reduce my bill because I took all grills to garage, washed & replaced foam gasket.
The old house smells brand new & no dust when furnaces run!
$700 to me days work was very fair.

2 new MF2607 tractors. One with FEL and getting grapple. Both 4x4.
They're being put on lower wheels. Installing horizontal exhaust. 8x8 shuttle trannies.
I figured why not?
Couple new toys.
There's already people jockeying up for the MF563s. One just cleared 700 hrs and the other 800.
These 2607s don't need the DEF fluid and who knows how long that will continue?
I just might freshen everything up.
New mower, 10' discs, rototiller etc.
The dirt nap is coming quicker every year. Why should the government and other ne'er-do-wells benefit from my frugality?
My stuff is well maintained and doesn't need any major repairs but new is new. It breaks, the dealer fixes it. No scraped knuckles for me.
Going to take a couple weeks for delivery while they order the parts for my modifications.

My house is circa 1979. The heat pump needed replacing 10 yrs ago, plastic ducts were riddled with holes and mouse stuff so we put all new ducts and a gas furnace in. Oh boy what an improvement, real heat and clean ducts. Not to mention the improvement of gas vs electric heat. Money well spent.

We have two gas furnaces in house and a large one in garage. They're really efficient and we can tell now that ducts are cleaned furnaces don't cycle on as long.

$220 worth of Hercules tools for $75!

Free tool with purchase of $100 charger and 5ah battery kit (marked down from $120). Then added the $25 off purchase of $100 or more.

So I got the 5ah battery, 4ah multi voltage charger and 20v cordless Hercules circular saw for $75.

I spend 12 hours using a circular saw each time I build a batch of hives. This will make life more enjoyable.
