    Thanks for the input, I ended up just spending 2.5 hours with the old Redmax instead. The only one I can find around in stock is the hard side version at Tractor supply for $1199. I couldn’t justify that kinda coin when I have a $500 commercial backpack blower already. I’ll likely have to do it again 1-2x before the first snow as the trees still have a ton of leaves.
    Maybe I’ll borrow my brother in law’s cyclone rake next year.

    Those places make billions though. I'm talking more, mom and pop shops.

    I'm in an industry where I won't be replaced in my lifetime. It would take advanced AI to do a big chunk of my job....bullshit and chop it up with the guests and connect on a personal level with potential couples. Gonna be hard for a robot to do that, and even then, it's a robot and people will know. We book a lot of couples because of our initial interactions and their comfort level with the wife and I.

    My lawn mowing, parking, trash, bathroom cleaning etc... duties, well there are probably already robots who can do a decent job at that. But when those come around I'll be old and happy enough to buy one. Although our managers young sons might have something to say about that! I pay the older one (maybe 9?) 0.25 for every cig butt he picks up that I miss, he loves it. Also shovels in the winter for us sometimes if the snow wasn't too heavy and he has the day off of school. Once that boy can run a mower and weed eater, he's got a job with me! :thumbsup:

    Excellent song choice. I've been a NFG fan since 2001. Excellent live band to boot.

    That’s what I’ve got on my phone. I probably got 1,500-1,700 songs. I still can’t ever find anything to listen to.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    Hey guys, I was reminded by Chris @Clark27 about the Toys for Tots run that I have run for the last couple of years and it just dawned on me that I'm working on weekends now. I don't want to stop it but I am going to need some help doing it this year.
    Since I can't guarantee what time I could be there on a weekend morning I am asking that someone takes charge of collecting the toys and for someone to lead the off-roading run. If one person wants to do both or split it up and have 2 people do it it's fine either way.
    I can for sure help by bringing the donations to the drop off location on Monday as that's my day off (and they are only there on Monday-Friday).
    If you can help me out please post or contact me.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Only one more wedding left! Last night was a big group, but it went surprisingly smooth. Now we have our first Sunday in about 6 months without meetings or big family parties that take the whole day.


    I'm gonna sit my ass on the couch (I'm already here, so hard part over:thumbsup:) and watch the wind and rain take the last few leaves off the trees. :rasta:


    That's all I'm gonna do today, and I love it. :playball:
