Good morning, 23F here heading to 32F. Heading over to rental tonight, son is going to help me hang drywall.
txdon, very nice, that looks way better than any standard golf cart. ... Does it have whipper's approval ?
Had one of those onceinalifetime experiences today.
Having decided that my wife needed a new mower to replace her 10 yo, beat to death Craftsman tractor, I researched via Internet as is my custom. When we went to town yesterday, we decided to visit Sears to check them out as I ruled out HD and my budget ruled out the name brands. Didn't see anything on the floor and the beleaguered cashier was not very helpful but did say there was only 1 garden tractor in stock at the warehouse, not the one I researched. So we came home with information only.
Spent some time researching and comparing my choices, weighted by available now vs 3 weeks. Bottom line, after reading the reviews and comparing specs I just wasn't sure the added value was there for the machine that cost more and had to be ordered. Wife agreed and we decided to go for the less expensive, in stock model. Further research complicated matters in that I could buy that model online and save several hundred dollars, but be back to the 3 week wait. Decided it was worth another trip to town to see if I could do better.
So off to town early this AM. First breakfast, then be at Sears when they opened. Whereas yesterday there was just a single cashier available, this morning several folks were around, even a guy in the Garden department. Gave him the quick low down on what I wanted, showed him the online info on my iPhone and much to my delight said, "I think I can match that". WOW!!!! Of course they are having computer problems. One of the other bodies removing the Christmas merchandise happened to be his manager. Instructed him to just manually override everything if computer didn't work properly.
Took about half an hour, but got the in stock tractor at the online price, minus the online 5%, free delivery as per online, plus additional 5% military discount. And put it on a mileage charge card.
A very good day
