Good morning all.
Kyle, prayers for the deputy. Doesn't sound good, single father of three girls. Almost wonder whether they need to serve warrants
behind one of those big bulletproof shields. This happens sadly all too often.
61 out, rain has left, didn't get very much, mid 60's today.
Have one more run downtown to get something I missed at the supermarket, then I start making spaghetti sauce,
spaghetti and meatballs for my friends arriving this afternoon.
Happy to report a fine visit to the barber, as he cut my hair with his brand new clippers, said he couldn't get the old one
adjusted right, (I bet I wasn't the only one it bit constantly...) and after gently suggesting he go gently with the clippers, he did.
Very pleased that worked out. 15 bucks for a five minute monthly haircut, we chatted about gardening and off I went.
Have a pile of quotes on my desk to compare between a 4 series JD compact tractor and a 4707 Massey utility tractor. Last time, and only time, I bought a new tractor, I knew in a year I bought too small. Don't want to do that again. Everything is coming in ten thousand dollars more than I thought. These tractors cost about what a new loaded truck costs and it sure widens your eyes when they total all those necessary extras.
Seems Massey dealer is discounting about 20 percent and JD seems to have first offered 11 percent off list. The JD is in budget, the MF a little out.
But about double the tractor. This is more about wants than needs, what do I want for my last tractor? Does having a buddy seat and a moonroof to see through when I use my elevated lift, and a rear three point switch to raise and lower from outside, and half again more loader lift, is it worth it. Hmmm. I'll make a decision next week. For now, I have meatballs to season.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.
