What did you buy this week?

and I heard John Kerry this morning being interviewed on Bloomberg use the terms interchangeably as he was criticizing Trump for exiting the Paris Accords. Tomato Tomahto lol

I guess I'm too old to keep up with all the hip, new terminology, lol.

Yes, let’s get the terms correct. It’s warmer than normal, global warming, colder than normal, climate change. Illinois experiences a lot of climate change. It gets hot every summer and cold every winter.

Fuddy just spoke of it at 9:27 am today. If he had called it climate change, I would have referred to it that way in my comment.

Just referring to the current vernacular. Nothing more meant.

Unfortunately just bought heating oil @ $ 3.49 per gallon...

Yeah, same here. I caught a break though, I only paid $3.09 / gal.

It's real culture shock for me though since I gave up burning coal this winter. First season using oil heat in 34 years. Coal is up to $349 / ton here now and there just isn't any real savings anymore. Certainly not enough to cover the hassle of tending the stove, handling the coal and disposing of the ash.

This is one of the items!
The other 2 are a "new" truck to replace the f-350 7.3 diesel truck. --- 99 cheyy 3500 with air compressor, Goodall starter unit, and big generator on it plus a liftgate.
Third thing from the same auction is another Davis 300 trencher and a new Craftsman chainsaw.
Expensive day!!!!!!! lol!!!!

Is that a Michigan?

 

[Sonny580]

Yes, Michigan and from what I can tell it could be a 75 A series ll since its hard to make out the tag on it and too cold to mess with it in -7* with 35 mph winds!
I bid a bit higher than I wanted to but it does have the 6 cylinder GAS motor in it and that makes it WAY more valuable to me!
Been in a shed for a few years and out of gas, no spark, small stuff, Trucker got spark and got it to turn over good and bucket was raising so might be decent loader. We didnt have any gas with us and when we got home and unloaded we were froze and I told the other 2 guys to give up and wait for warmer day to start it.

Pics make it harder to judge size, but it looks like a 55 maybe. Either way, you got a cool older loader. Continental engine? I'm thinking they ran a Hercules also, but I could be wrong.

Wow! Would have liked to have seen that wrapped under the Christmas tree!
