It's cool out this morning.

He just moved back from Las Vegas after being away for 25 years bwahahaha

Most excellent..

Hedge trees are a *b-word.. just plain miserable they are..

We just receive word that 40 acres of hedge trees along a tree line that's 50' wide will be cut down and hauled away in the near future. The property surrounds a state-owned lake but the tree land is owned by the federal government. An out-of-state company was hired by the feds to do all the work. No local people are expected or have been invited to receive any of the cuttings or hired to perform any work. Sound typical?

No, and that's a secret never shared with the public, and in this case the public is the local community, many of which do not want the trees to be cut down and hauled away.

Bet ya gotta know somebody...or know where they post these opportunity for bid.
If I knew who had the contract I'd ring their bell to ask about take-away or dropoffs? I've learned how to deal with unexpected overwhelming yes's as well as nowayz.

First time for it: [emoji2960]

Guy brings me an 028, won’t start. Acts like no spark.

Tiny piece of chit between the center electrode and ground on the plug.

Runs good now. [emoji106]

Can about guarantee you that the outfit has a female or minority involved! Put the company name in that way and they qualify for all that government bid stuff! Don't even have to be low bidder!

That's called equal opportunity.

 

[I saw a lot]

A past company I worked for got bid sheets for communications equipment. Very detailed in what they wanted down to the model/part number. From what I saw, there is was no way anyone could make much on the bids. I would think local arborists would have access to bid, but would need tons of equipment/manpower to complete the contract.
Still would be nice to get a few loads of hedge.

Good morning weekend warriors.

Morning Kenneth. Don't know if the bird hunters will have any luck today. Haven't seen any and plenty warm for it today!

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

They will be sitting tight Monday morning.

Morning midlanders!

Send the 028 and MS210 back home today. [emoji1696]

Stihl waiting on the Farmertec MS460 ‘kit’. Tracking only adds to the mystery. [emoji90]

The last law enforcement bid that we did had a contingency for the price to be good for any Missouri county, city, etc. in the hopes of branching into more sales. The bid had to be so low that we virtually sold them below cost and THEN paid for the new vehicle prep fees. One salesman got into deep trouble for selling a Camaro pursuit vehicle to a civilian.[emoji849]

Not sure what it weighs, but it’s a lot.
