I used to play a lot as a teenager near my home at the local watering hole near Lubeck,a bunch of good old country boys and men would come in and we had some good tournaments. Get the old pill bottle out with the numbered pills and take a numbered pill and the 2 closest numbers were on a team. The ole watering hole is gone ( years ago) I have looked at the tables on ebay and since I do not drink or go out anymore I have thought about buying one for the basement. I have not played since the 1970's.....What a hoot.....ahh the memories....

Texas or W.Va. ?
2 or 3 of the bars here still have them plus there is the one at the Moose Lodge.

I listen to family members about how people used to get together once a week and play horse shoes (or some similiar game). I grew up having bean supper every Sat. night at my Gram's house. Talk about things changing. No more gatherings unless it is a "family reunion". I'd like my Son and Daughter to grow up having weekly get togethers. Some things are more important than work. Oh well, I guess I have to start making memories, not thinking about mine! haha

When I was shopping for my 5205, I got some good prices and friendly service from the Pennsboro JD dealer. The guys up in Fairmont were duds. I ended up dealing with Carmichael's.

I'll agree with both of these statements. That's why I bought my NH from Hayhurst.

The old traditions are nice....having family get togethers does not happen like they use to around here....it seems everyone is living a fast life this day and age...

Hayhurst is a great dealership....gotta like the people and the service.

I have never heard anything bad about Hayhurst equipment.

2 dealers in my area closed shop also. One 15 minutes away the second 30. One of them stated that deere would not renew thier dealership contract unless they ramped theirs sales to a millon dollars per year and add 2 outside sales men to help drive those sales. I was disapointed, these are two small shops been in business for +20 years. Both provided great tech support. Closet dealer now is 1 hour away and will not give any mechancal advice.

JD sales must be way off.

PS:
Say it's worse than I thought.
I went to the other local JD Dealer and they have closed up shop too.
JD must really be hurting.

LB,
I see even though your two local John Deere dealerships have closed, there's a much larger dealer coming soon...
Bridgeport Equipment will be opening over on route 7 where Wolohan Lumber used to be... they will be employing 40 people!
