That's great news on the tractor part. We finished up the 2nd truck today that we pulled the transmission on. The first one is getting the transmission rebuilt so we are waiting on it. The one we finished up today got a CAT Rem transmission so it was a pull and replace plus some upgrade stuff we had to do. Sounds a lot easier than it really is.

Woop woop the weekend is here!!!

They don't pay flat rate, you get a bonus based on efficiency.

Appliances are expensive, some are real expensive. When I redo our kitchen one day I want to get these:

I agree. That figures is for the entire appliance package : side by side,wall oven, microwave, ductless hood, up right freezer, induction cooktop he washer and ductless dryer. I don't plan on paying MSRP. The have a big scratch/ sent clearance section. From what I learned yesterday January is time to buy that when the new improved stuff comes out.

Whoop I have full hydraulics on the tractor again. The Korean engineer thought a grade 3 nut was strong enough for the rod

That's one thing I have to say about CAT products, they do a real good job at making sure it can take the abuse. Every bolt and nut is a grade 8 with a CAT logo. If something is found to be weak they usually over engineer the repair.

The wife did pretty good at the chicken swap thing we went too yesterday at the Tractor Supply in Cartersville. She made 80 bucks selling some of her chickens and a pot belly pig. I had to buy a pop up shade while we were there as it looked like my wife and daughter were going melt. She is thinking about going to the Pioneer days flea market next weekend. She still has about 40 baby chicks, 3 more baby pigs and a baby goat she wants to sell.

No just getting rid of babies. She didn't need 50 baby chicks.
I broke the seat broke off my riding mower yesterday so I got it fixed. Trimmed some tree limbs that were starting to make their way over the driveway. I also detailed the 4runner and the Hummer this morning. There is no rest for the weary.

I did a bunch more stuff around the house yesterday afternoon that I was putting off, so I am sore today. The only big thing left now is a few dead tress around the property that I need to cut down. 3 are close to the power lines so I want to get them cut down pretty soon.
