Our new used Kubota

I mentioned at the beginning of August that we purchased a tractor. It finally got put to use yesterday, mowing weeds. We have a good crop of them. Actually, it has been used often to move equipment and heavy items like motors around in the shop. (I wasn't there to take pictures) The future plan for it's use, to clear the driveway of snow in the winter. Now the talk is, to purchase a used snow blower attachment. (it never ends) My plan was to use the tiller attachment to turn over my sad looking garden. Guess that will have to wait. Tiller needs work and that may be a winter project. Oh well. Kirk loves his tractor and that is all that counts.

In the mean time, I aggressively cut grass with my favorite ride. Maybe too aggressively. With all the bouncing around I put my back out. I can't move. Hoping the chiropractor is in on Saturdays.

The turkey hunt?

Gee, I know I keep on about prices here but I just can't help it. Last Tuesday I bought a frozen turkey at $1.79 lb. I figured, that is about as good as it's going to get around here. Mind you there is only one grocery store in town so not a lot of choices.

Kirk felt I bought it too soon as he figured prices should go down the closer we get to Thanksgiving. (which is Oct. 8 here in Canada) He, of course, is still thinking in North Carolina mode and prices. I had to remind him the days of 69 cents per lb for turkey is not going to happen here.

Well, low and behold, the local IGA flyer arrived today. For all your Thanksgiving needs, your best price store brand frozen turkey is $1.99 lb. and it goes up from there. Yippee!

In short, Kirk was glad I shopped early. Besides, it might take until next week to thaw.

Happy Columbus Day. (click on the picture to find the turkey)

Sticker shock!

Kirk went out to buy a new battery for my truck. It's been a long time since we needed a battery. Today, Kirk got a shock. Not from the battery, from the price. The shock feeling feels the same, either way.

We were use to spending $35 to $60 for a car battery.
This small one cost $110. - with tax it came to $125.40.
Now, we haven't been out of the USA that long, will someone let us know if prices of batteries have gone up that much in the south?
Our dollars are a par right now. We have a mind to get us a load of batteries for the future. Heck, be a black-market battery dealer.

What do you think?

This shopping trip made Kirk rethink his welding/fabricating charges. Again.

This picture caught my eye. The info is in another language and it didn't mention what country. I did catch the phrase "no worry". He must not own the house. I had to add this picture just because I like it. Don't know them.
