It stopped raining last night just long enough to have a fire outside on the patio. I burned up more of the ash branches as a result. I also got the last of the ash rounds split from my buddy's gf's house, which apparently he will have more for me once I get my downed ash trees all TCO. Got get to work on that again this am because it's supposed to rain this afternoon all the way through Sunday about 7 pm. So not much will get done this weekend if the guessers are right.
Went by my echo dealer to see what the had in stock today is there 15%off sale. Luckily for my bank account they only had a couple small homeowner saws.
Cool, my stimulus showed up. Weird it's in a bank account I rarely use. And, would you believe there is no Chase bank here, or branch, or even ATM .
Echo has been the one manufacturer that has had reliable stock with no real issues. Stihl dealers are in rough shape with little inventory, especially “homeowners “ equipment. Husky is hit or miss but mostly slim pickings. Don’t let your lawnmower die right now unless you want to spend in the $10k range around here or get a el cheapo one that will get by a few years. Supposedly Toro has stocked all the dealers in the south and mid west and have run out of stock to supply us. Dealers ain’t too happy with so much pre sold from last year. Now they can complete the machine minus the seat, shortage of foam from the supposedly Texas winter storm. Massive chit show with anything that you try to buy now.
We got ours mailed to us. We have no clue why. Everything to do with the government has been direct deposit for years, the other ones were direct deposit why not this one?
This one was direct deposit is a different account than I've used for taxes...... The stimulus I got a few months ago was on a debit card. I have no clue why I've received a couple but WWW and kiddo have not received one at all. We file married/joint, and claim kiddo on taxes.
The plastic industry has been flipped upside down too... between time delays of deliveries to telling you how much your getting.... besides the $$$ increases.... much more time is invested in inventory and part containment... it’s been interesting, since orders are there....
Same with roofing, across the board be it membrane, coatings, metal, and now shingle season is starting. It's going to be bad as oil $$ continues to increase.
