What did you buy this week?

[JasperFrank]

Got some wheels from HF. For my garden cart. Total waste of time and money for this application. Haulmaster 56181. These are NOT Cart wheels. They are wheel barrel wheels. The only reason I'm not returning them, is that I also have two wheel barrels that need new wheels. These are not Cart Wheels.

Bot 2 truck loads of "crusher run" gravel for the driveway. Price of gravel is about the same as gold these days. $1500 for 2 loads. (One guy wanted $1500 for ONE load...absurd)

Before Covid, it was $325-350 a load

that price sounds tough. my place is on rough 5.5m gravel road, found a guy who will haul 18t load of SB2 for 450. i'll give him 500. have maybe 4 loads for the driveway improvement. good luck your way

My last rock order was 28T in 2017 for $560. Need to order about 15T now to freshen-up the drive.

No matter how much you put on, after awhile you always need more ....

I have spent so much time outside as a youth that my shoulders use to bleed from sunburns. I spent a lot of time diving in the ocean as a kid. And I do usually try to stay protected as much as possible now but it has been in the 90's here with no wind and no shade, I couldn't handle a tshirt in that.

Wear cotton: bucket hat, pants, shirt all soaked in cold water. Add water as they dry & sunscreen exposed areas. Work sunrise & quit by noon, rest inside, start again about 5-6pm.
Plenty of water & Gatorade. My 2c.

i understand. as with tractors, i like quality. gave up my pro film stuff long ago, this change will be all i need in digital. i've always been a sucker for high end equipment. best regards

A new head for my weed eater.

Some bungie cords with ankle straps to fasten to the deck so I can swim continuously. Other wise it's take 3 strokes, turn around. Repeat.

I'd have to swim with a knife in case of emergency
