What did you find out about a seed drill?

Just had a wood stove installed in March. Borrowed a friends wood splitter. He insisted... Used it for a couple of days to split 4 cords or so.
In need of one again, but I hate borrowing. Borrow one twice you need to buy. Problem is, don't think I can justify $1500 or so for a new one. Used are like gold according to asking price. I can rent for $75 a day. Sure, I have to commit to a day, but I can deal with that. Take a few years to break even....
I changed the oil on the borrowed splitter, and bought a hydraulic filter for it. Almost like renting I suppose.
I have a friend with a wood splitter that also that lets me borrow it whenever I needed it, I know he rented a pole saw once to trim branches so when I needed a pole saw, I bought one, now he uses my pole saw whenever he needs it and I use his wood splitter when I need it.

Was just at the local TSC, I needed a dozen medium sized screw eyes for a project and I got them off the rack and put them in my pocket because I really dislike their cheap thin plastic bags that split.

Got up to the cashier and told her I had them in my pocket and why and she said to me, 'at least you are honest as lots of people would have walked out without paying'. I don't ascribe to shoplifting but obviously a segment of this society does. I do believe the cost of items pilfered is factored into the retail price of ALL items.
It’s also used to justify store closings… plenty around here.
