Unless I am Replacing a needed tool I usually wait for one of their sale deals, I literally have dozens of batteries at this point, I don’t buy bare tools without batteries, but with the supplier sales deals constantly being offered I don’t see the big box advantage. I did buy a pair of blowers 2 years ago from HD that came with Forge 12.0 batteries…. Whew! What a battery!

With the exception of one series of diver/drills I have had outstanding service from Milwaukee. Both from the tools and the company. I will also make the point that where you buy them may have an effect on your customer service experience. I try to buy them all through FW Webb, they are a very big company that serves almost exclusively trades people, their customers don’t have time to waste, and they bend over backwards for their customers, when I have a problem with a tool, there’s a lady with an office full of boxes and tools, I walk in and tell her the problem, leave the tool and within a week I have a phone call with the details. After I had issues with the 8 series drill/driver for the 5th warranty replacement, they (Webb) just gave me a new 9 series. I don’t have anything bad to say about the other major brands, they seem like good tools, but I am using 10 year old Milwaukee fuel tools on a daily basis that perform as well as they did the day I blunts them, and I have 10 year old batteries that are behaving as well as they did new.

Many went into the ocean unfortunately.

Permethrin is quite effective here against ticks, you can use it in chicken coops for mites, all I have seen here is for clothing spray, I use it on all my hunting stuff. Might be a short term solution for the bale handling. I have heard of people applying it directly to their chickens, not sure how it would go for livestock.

I have privately wished they would pave my road, but it would increase traffic many fold and speed, it is about 7 miles of dirt and connects 2 major north south corridors in the state, it’s a substantial shortcut for me.

I just resent it.

We don’t have them here, and I don’t want them either!

Hard to scratch dirt from asphalt. Some might argue not being in the road is healthier for the chickens. A local here has guineas, they hang out in the paved road.. but they are less Intelligent than chickens I think.

We have thousands of items in inventory on QB, it’s ridiculous, used to be mostly you used the same things, price changed, but the products stayed pretty steady, now it’s out of hand, every 6 months new item/part number, i don’t see mobile replacing the office computer, but it sure would be handy to be able to just make out a bill on the spot for a couple hour job.

That’s what I wanted to know. Subscription services irritate me no end, but if it makes my life easier or cuts down on hours of tedious paperwork.. it’s easier to justify

Interesting, never heard of that except for unsuccessful filling of potholes.

They did a 12 mile stretch a number of years ago, it was a big endeavor, they ground out and paved in 2 mile stretches, there was something different about the mix for each section, idk exactly what the experiment was, but now certain stretches are distinctly better than others.

It was an example. The itemization isn’t an issue, I am trying to remove multiple steps to expedite billing and reduce office time. If I can have the bill ready to send when then job is done, i can skip the multiple sheets of material lists that all have to be totaled up, bills created and mailed, etc etc. back in the days of carbonless slips we would fill out a slip or multiple slips for a given job, total them up and provide a statement for the job and a copy of the individual slips as itemization. It was easier in a lot of ways.

Now everyone can drive faster.

For those using a current edition, I am debating upgrading, full disclosure, I don’t do the majority of the book/office work, and we are using the 2013 edition. What I am hoping for is the ability to mirror the program on a tablet, I want to be able to input materials and hours for a given job while on site, and have it reflected on the office computer, ideally I would be able to enter additional quantities from multiple days and have it add duplicate items together, but that may be asking too much. for example, if I work at Mrs Smith’s on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and I use 24 wirenuts each day, and enter them each day, I end up with a bill that shows 72 wire nuts as a single total line item. Again, this may be asking too much of it, but I want at least to be able to work on a bill on site and make less paperwork and effort needed in the office.

As long as it keeps the sun of my head I wouldn’t care if it was made from old toilet seats.

I like your canopy, I have been considering doing something like that.

I’m sure it is, but the real question is is it QC china junk or not QC china junk?

She might surprise you and have good taste. You could try reminding her how many eligible young men attend these events.

has anyone used these? a couple years ago I discovered the main jet had been mutilated by someone other than me, somehow the thing ran, but the threads were damaged , i managed to clean up a couple, installed a new jet, but its just not right and its not running properly, I want to start with a new carb. I would be happy with a good used one, but these are intriguing. I am wondering if they are Chinese junk or if they are a decent quality unit, I don't want to spend $400 to chase problems for years. https://www.steinertractor.com/IHS5881-Carburetor?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PMax%3A (ROI) Smart Shopping - High Margin&utm_id=17561055353&utm_content=&utm_term=&mkwid=|pcrid||pkw||pmt||slid||pdv|c|product|IHS5881|pgrid||cpgnid|17561055353|ptaid||adtext||&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17339002759&gbraid=0AAAAAD3J3LF2-Vju0AQvIwJQGIgZWmRQN&gclid=CjwKCAjw_eLVBhBEEiwAeaYZfM9GrSkW--f7OQrMr9QNtIUeZ0XrrULayl1HmwZDV9q4NloxbBkFXxoCtxkQAvD_BwE

They’re mentioned in “Midnight in Montgomery” “wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and hollow haunted eyes”

Actually, now that I think of it…I know another potential mentor 🧐🤔
