Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Congrats, JT.

In pellet news my exhuast blower sounds like it's on its last legs. Sometimes sounds like hell when it starts up. Going to pick up a replacement tomorrow.

 

Forced retirements.

Like what happened to my old man several years ago. The company even asked him to "use up his vacation" ahead of time and gave a BS reason. He actually believed them, and when they cut him loose there wasn't any built up vacation to pay out. Scumbags.

 

Retired 5 yrs ago..now deliver auto parts part time in the area. Nice combo of both. Had way too much time on my hands and no major hobbies.

 

Was out of both of those early this week.
Got loads of Matra, LG, and LaCretes, yesterday..
They are going fast, and being replaced slow..

Yeah, the winter is not a good time to do the bulk loads with trailer and forklift.
the two pallet scooter works slick!

I'll tell him you were happy..

Half a peace sign to you...
It was 18° here the other morning..

Congrats JT. Enjoy yourself. Why not. Find a par time gig selling fishing stuff. You can get your exercise shoveling s**w next week. When you want to of course.

Been there, done that, Smoke ole buddy 3 times, laughed all the way to the bank, the third time I did the work from home bit.


The fun part was the first and the third time it was the same company, belly shots, huh Dave(not me).

 

Congratulations!

 

Did my good deed for the day yesterday morning. Went into the local O'Reilly's/VIP to drop off the snowblower tire for fixing. While waiting on the tire, a lady probably a couple years older than me got the bad news that they didn't have the tires for replacing one that blew on her truck. They would get it in from another store in a couple of hours. The counter guy asked her if they could get her somewhere, and she said she needed to get to work in Hooksette (about 35 miles away). Well, that was too far for them (understandable) so she said she would try to call her daughter.

She went outside and I waited a couple more minutes before they brought my tire out - freebie since they just needed to pump it up. They even did a water test to make sure the rim seal wasn't broken and there were no holes. Apparently I either didn't wait long enough for my tire pump to make traction on the 3 pounds of pressure that was in the tire, or just not strong enough. Anyhoo, I was happy.

As I was leaving, I saw the lady out in the parking lot looking at her phone. I asked her if she was all set and she said that she couldn't get ahold of her daughter but had left her a message so she should hear back at some point. Well, I was planning to go to Concord soon anyway (about 30 miles), so I told her I could take her to work as long as she could get a ride back. She agreed, got her uniform out of her truck and we headed off. She was gushing about how that is why she like small town life - everyone is so friendly and helpful. She said if she was living in the city (where she used to be), everyone would just ignore someone with a problem.

Yes, we both wore masks during the trip. About half way to Hooksette her daughter returned the call and gave her mother the 3rd degree about if she had a mask, if she was wearing it, if I was wearing a mask etc.). I piped up in the background that we were being safe.

It was actually a fun trip getting her to work, she liked to talk, which is the type of person that I need around when I don't know them. I can never think of anything to talk about and I was happy we didn't have a 40 minute ride in uncomfortable silence.

 

Happy birthday krooser!

 

I had no idea about the 2 pallet scoot-told Henry it was pretty slick !!

Very happy with him!
He had maybe 2 inches on each side to get the pallet scoot through the garage door but Henry looks to be a pro backing that rig into tight spaces.

I also told him I never wait this lomg and generally its 3-4 pallets. Henry asked af Dave did garage delivery-Yup, every year.

Dave would leave the flatbet in the road, bring the pallet jack to the gagage with the moffit fork lift than start being up pallets. Place a pallet just inside the door and I would put it where I wanted it while another pallet was brought up.

Dave is good people, just as Henry is and Dave's moving on from this gave me the opening to make the switch.

Very happy that Henry is there !!

 

My dream has come true!

Oh and I was just picking on Jerome. But good for you. I'll prolly die working or pretending to, getting pretty good at it after 30 years.
