I mowed the front yard last night since it rained all weekend. Had a guy complain about his bill yesterday, he called needing his tractor fixed and a service call to his house. Just wanted to pay 50 bucks to drive over an hour to his house to troubleshoot his tractor so he could fix it himself. The parts manager said he wouldn't do my job for double pay.

we have minimum for a callout, and to which most callouts end up being the machine needs to come in to the shop.
One guy had to go out today to look at a crane, chains came off inside and cust thought it could be fixed today. the tech came back and began to help me very shortly after he left, said it has to come in and showed me a pic. haha.

Hump day is here!
Yesterday wasn't too bad dealing with customers. We got in a big delivery of new equipment yesterday so that will keep us busy for a day or two. Trying my hand at putting together an 8 wheel hay rake today, this is going to be interesting.

Glad you working folks are having fun dealing with customers.
My shed conversation to shop has been taking up all my time. Hauled 1500# of old stuff to dump already. Today will finish getting the old roof off

I got a lot done yesterday. We went and picked up a new chicken coup for the wife. I got the fuel issue fixed on the ford tractor and I also got the new tire put on the boat trailer and the new starter put on. Going to clean it up this morning and post it on craigslist for sale. Now that the tractor is running again I am going to try and mow the field with the bush hog and work on my driveway with the box blade.

I am going to try and get the roof done. Tommorow haul off last of of old stuff and start on the yard. I got to bring my box blade home and do some repair and stiffening. I think it was designed for sand

I need to borrow my buddies box blade to work on my driveway. I did get the pastures mowed yesterday. I also detailed the Hummer and the golf cart. I worked on some of the fencing for the horses. Wanted to detail the Lightning but it got too hot so I will do it tonight after work.

my girl took me to urgent care last wednesday. I was working on my headliner, and a knife went the wrong way on me.
She called her dad and said "he said he thinks he needs to go to the hospital, and I believe him"
She was right, and I needed to go, had a gusher of a thumb.
Today, the finger i severly screwed up, aka the middle finger and a boom, almost had the nail ripped off today doing routine unboxing of parts.
I have 8 good fingers for the next week or so, and Im not allowed to work around the house as per the girlfriend. I guess its nice, i do need to relax and chill out.

Dang you are hard on your hands!
Got all the Zero turns we got in last week put together and out on display yesterday, have a bunch of Stihl equipment to do today.
They have a new water park that opened not far from us so we are thinking of going this weekend. I need a little relax and chill out time too.
