Pas gagne

Just put a hydro belt on my Gravely HD52 last week. Thats the very first thing I’ve had to do with it in 6 years and 400 hours of rough service. I love that mower. A beast.

Got one called “Pregnant again” listen to those lyrics!

“The China syndrome”

Yep a new one on me. Have to call every day for the two weeks. I’ve wondered how the local jury duty vs federal worked. Or, if you could at least get consideration for having served one vs the other. I’m a nurse at a hospital in a true staffing crisis with the extremely sick public we’ve had this winter. I was told no one gets exempted for anything anymore, so I just rolled with it. I don’t mind doing jury duty at all, as it’s a hell of a lot easier day for me. Plus the $40/day is a nice raise. It’s so bad at work, that I was told there was no replacement for me, just to call in if instructed to go to duty the next day. Since this company has owned us, 10 years, I’ve called in ZERO times. If I call in for this jury duty, my employer should not be able to ding me on my yearly evaluation for it??

Tim’s on airline in Dutchtown. Not the cheapest,but a very honest place, and do great work.

Had an 8 year old relative become unarousable from sleep. Brought to ER. Blood glucose was 600+. Apparently the glucose was brought down “too quickly” and caused the brain to swell and push down into the foreamen. Poor child passed after a hard struggle.

Give Boyd’s a look as well. Good stocks.

First year of the tagging system being implemented, some guys in Maurepas WMA got tickets for not having pens. Or so I was told. I was also told that parking on the interstate will get you a ticket but lots still do it. Is it a ploy to keep others from hunting it????

My 10 year old son goes through glasses like paper airplanes. So, we were waiting on another pair at Vision for less on Seigan. Just absolutely excellent service there. This pompous arse starts screaming at the nice gentleman employee " I've been coming here 20 years and never a problem". Older black gentleman obviously with money. Screaming that he is supposed to fly out that day and this will mess him up. Also made it known that he owns the plane. He then starts screaming for the person to be fired that messed his order up. My son was sitting there just watching the interaction. I then told my son loudly "Dude, if you get great service for years and years, don't act like it's the end of the world if someone makes a mistake". He was mean mugging me then. The very nice employee then told him " You have to leave now" while standing right in front of him and pointing at the door. It was great.

Have had that exact mower 5 years now. Cut 3 1/2 acres with it. Most of the time tall and wet. Ultimate machinery abuser here. I've changed the oil only once. I know I know. It's still a beast like the day I bought it.
