Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I "renovated" a 25 year old pair with heavy coats of Fluid Film.

Unfirtunately I can't report how well it lasts because I never wear them, just too darn heavy anymore. They do look nice though.

 

mink oil

 

Old cowboy I used to work with that was hard as nails turned me onto saddle soap. Every time I get a new pair they get a bath and fresh power step insoles and I'm ready to ride...

 

Mink oil

 

Definitely trying. It's a tough time all around

 

Todays score:

I had a free 3 month trial of satellite radio for the truck, it was set to "renew at current rates" so I called and canceled.

Naturally they try to get you to renew at a better rate, around $5, not bad but I gave the old "times are tough, I'm retired & don't drive the truck much" line (all true ) and said I would think about it.

Got an e-mail today - $3.17/month for 36 months, same deal I have for the van.
Clickety click, done!

 

every time i visit the dealer for parts, it's the same thing. i even went a few times when my car was in production, and even simple things like oil filters were 3-5 days out...

i don't know if they're hording parts for their own repairs, but it just never made sense that they didn't stock at least 1 of the common stuff... i mean, what exactly do they have if they don't have the normal wear items?

but nothing beats going to the ford dealer to ask for parts for a 22 year old ranger. the parts guy went from being friendly and helpful, to Roz from Monsters Inc...

 

you'll figure it out....

 

My local dealer always charges the list price for EVERYTHING . I shop the deals and promos, I think I’m on at least 10 different email lists for dealers who have the most reasonable prices and run specials throughout the year.

Nice! Did you talk to a person or use their AI? I went the AI route a month ago, it got me to the $5 rate that I took (seeing I’m still working and can throw my $$$ around ). So much for transparency in pricing

Good morning everyone

 

I never had luck with the cancel and get the discounted rate deal. They would always start processing the cancellation

I finally gave up and got rid of it. Every station I had saved just started getting repetitive and the "DJ's" just started talking more and more. I have the $5/mo Pandora plan (no ads, unlimited skips) and it has a wider variety of music anyways.

 

I got an e-mail, clicked on the link and checked 2 or 3 boxes and done, less than 5 minutes to read everything.

 

I let them process the cancellation, they offered the $5 deal then, next got an e-mail for $5, a day later came the $3.17/36 months e-mail.

 

Put me down as another mink oiler.

Although I'm considering switching to bread bags now.

 

Good morning guys. Have a great Tuesday!

 

Good Tuesday morning, friends! Hope the day is good for all of you


Took it to get some blue this morning.

 

Your times are not tough, You’re not retired & you drive the truck much more than a retired individual does; that’s probably why you didn’t get the offer.

 

@RustyGreen is retired and drives his truck waaay more than I drive mine

 

done, even without Adams help..............................








now to pour a bunch of Preen (which aint worth sheet) then fabric, then mulch....

 

fear, it's whats holding you back...
