Mickey's not so scary halloween party!
Never buy a Deere mower from Home Depot or Lowes. They are on the lower end of the residential mowers. Just saying.
Yes I got the boat running, I put the starter trigger wire on the wrong post on the solenoid last weekend. It was hot and I was rushing. I got it cleaned up and reslisted.

I knew what it was you mentioned it before stupid autocorrect and us being older an not seeing it.

I think all the equipment from them is low end. Deere is normally out of my price range. Nothing again Deere, they quality has gone down over the years as they got more stuff from off shore but they are still selling as if they were still made in USA. Any tractor under 25 hp is assembled here. My grand father ran 200 acres wirh a 4020 and an old Farmall. It not Deere specific it almost everything

All the mowers are built in the USA. They are built in Tennessee, South Carolina or Wisconsin depending on the model.

I have been picking up customer machines all afternoon since the delivery driver is out. We are not sure for how long yet. Hiring a new kid to work on the mower side but it will take 2 weeks to bring him on board.
Some parts come from China but assembled in USA.

The mower side is real slow right now. The tractor side is Ok but it is also slowing down. People are cutting hay so the work will come.

The are both cyclic. Mowers are late fall / early spring. This time of year as stuff breaks. Tractors depending on crops and weather. Harvesting and planting slow. Wet fields get the tractor to shop. The sub compact /compact non farm user who knows.

Yay it's Friday! Have to work tomorrow but it's not as crazy as during the week.
Was watching some of the pre-opening media coverage of Star Wars Galaxies edge in California last night. I showed the wife the coverage of the droid factory where you can make your own droid. She wasn't impressed till she saw that and thought that was pretty cool. She said if you want to go then get tickets!! Yee Haw!
I got our Mickey's not so scary tickets in the mail yesterday. We went online last night and put in our order for our magic bands. I then linked our tickets to them.

Have not been to a theater in years, think the last time was Ghost Rider. Since all of them out there are poltical mouthpieces now really dont care about making them richer.
Yesterday was upgrade tablet to checkbook and wife from flip phone to basic smartphone. She thinks it too complicate to take it out of sleep swipe to unlock tap to use phone. She does not understand basic phone are going away

Mother in law was the same way, now she can text, face time, email. Took her a while to get the hang of it but she is a pro now.
I don't usually go to a theater either but I will wait for it to come out in DVD.

Found out I could disable screen lock. The only icons in the home screen now are phone. Contacts, camera and weather. I try to get her to text later. I did set up the spam filter.

off to Sam's

Closed a bunch of jobs today. Should be close to the record. Working tomorrow but not all day. The boss has been good at letting me off on weekends, so I do need to come in every now and then.
Ordered my Disney Hollywood Studio tickets today!!

Whis you would not use the nasty words : Boss, Job . Even work takes on a differant meaning when you dont have a boss and job. Here at the house I do have a supervisor, she not much on working. Did see her pick up a little chunk of wood only cause she wanted to chew on it. She even slacked off on telling break time, lunch time and quiting time. She watches from under the trucks under the trailer on the ramp at the back door. Occasionally she will do a security check for small critters. After break time she hears work an beats me to the backdoor.

Supervisor is on the right
