I have to pack a couple of extra bibs to keep the drool off of the tractors! @dells68 I've been to Pa probable 10 times over the last 30 years for work, and last summer to move my son to New Jersey. Now that I have a son & daughter-in-law up there (and I'm retired) I hope its easier to coordinate a trip during the Big Show. Now regarding spies, were so WH poor around my area that I'll wrangle in broad open daylight. I'll be worse than a fish out water with all that red around me at the big show. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #38 Posted February 20, 2019 @oliver2-44 first time I went, I couldn’t believe the sea of red. It’s like Disney for horse lovers. Hard to believe Wheel Horse made so much.

Condolences --- I bet working for them kept you busy what with all the failures I have with their products! Around here a good tech is worth 30 -40 hr ...and can pretty much write his/her own ticket. Double that in the big cities and commercial work but they sometimes send a tech out with an armed guard! Good HVAC techs are pretty hard to find nowadays.

I already had seen the forecast for today and decided not to go way before today. was just out and it's changing over to freezing rain, starting to crust on top of snow. Hopefully it will all be melted by the time I get home tomorrow morning. eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it will all be melted by the time I get home tomorrow morning. eric j I parked next door at the neighbor's large business parking lot until the snow stops. Since I don't need my driveway anytime soon and off work until 1pm tomorrow I may wait until after the rain to clear it. Also I would rather not clear it too soon and have an icy driveway from the freezing rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
