So what did you buy today

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Bought two es light bars before theyre gone.
Got them cheap on grube.de
25 inch was €136 and 28 inch was €141.
Bare in mind the best price for a 25 inch es light bar anywhere in Ireland is €200, so i think i did pretty good.

Like I needed another saw...sigh...

It'll clean up nicely. 36" light bar, .063, in good shape. No piston wear top to bottom but it definitely has some hours on it.

If your weather is heading the same direction ours is it will not be long before you can use the 2 jugs of Glyphosate that the saw is sitting on. I see our local price on it right now is down to $15.67 a gallon in bulk.

I bought two square ground oregano chains from the uk. Paid a fortune in postage and customs.


I had heard factory chains were hit or miss and not on par with hand square filed or home square ground but I didn't think it was this bad.
Im not impressed.

How much was the postage? How much was the tax/duty?

That is a lot but I was asking about the shipping costs and duties for the loops of chain because I believe you said those came from the USA and the bars were bought in Europe.

Ha, empty box from the wood yard...they throw their dull chains in a box for me to sharpen. Never notice the box labels.

Sorry, I miss ready your post.
The chains came from the uk.
Postage and customs were too high for it to have been worthwhile.
I never get anything shipped direct from the uk but I did this time because I was so intrigued to compare square ground chains to my own square filed chain.

Coming to the bench soon! It’s in the mail

Just a few groceries. Split delivery this was the only one not left on my porch as requested.

This is in the driveway farthest from the house. Drives a big U shape. North along side the house. South approx 240' away. Guessing this at the mouth of my South drive was the drivers resignation.

They forgot the vodka.

That’s like where Amazon keeps leaving packages in front of my garage door instead of my porch, perfect set up for snatch and run!

In Canada, this is my best choice. It’s alcohol based it’s quite nice.

AutoZone does free delivery on orders over $35 now. How often do you leave a parts store under $35. I thought for local that they would use their parts runners but tools I ordered came next day FedEx actually had to sign for them.

Some of the loot

The nearby NAPA store used to have a parts runner who was a topless dancer.
The bar was close enough to walk to, if you just wanted to get a couple drinks and not have to drive home. The NAPA was a little farther up the street.
The NAPA was nearly always the more expensive place to visit.
With area gentrification, both places are gone now.

When I was first in college my brother was the manager of local family owned auto parts store's second location. I went down to the local NAPA store and applied for a job. Ole JJK was the manager of the NAPA store and asked why the hell I did not just work for my brother.................I said "ah ya ever worked for your brother" He smiled and said "yep I get it"

Our NAPA is the go to place for good after market parts. If they can’t get it you’re pretty much out of luck locally.
