It won't be the first time I've been called something containing the word "Head"!

I guess time will tell though. :whistle:

[KyBlue 655]

Thats great news TT!!! At least its something your really good at, and enjoy. So many get stuck taking any job they can to keep the lights on...

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

Trust me, Scott.....

That situation was just around the corner. My 26th week of PA unemployment compensation was over this past Sunday. B)

[KyBlue 655]

I might n ot be too far behind you, with the way things are slowing down at work. they keep promising a upswing in freight from a specific customer, but rather than getting o ut and beating on doors to get the freight, they are sitting and waiting for this one spcific customer to come thru the way they did last year.. I really wonder how much people will actually be buying this holiday season, with the way things are going....

You know I wonder when corp. America is going to wake up and realize what they are doing by sending everything to mexico, overseas, or just flat cutting the pay rates of its workforce??? how are we as americans supposed to buy the products that they are now making over in china or Mexico if we no longer have the jobs to provide the money to buy the product?? Cause you sure as heck cant buy a 40 thousand dollar pickup on Fry guy money from McD's ... Shoot...I dont think you could even keep the lights on for what they pay, at least around here

[DOC in Kentucky 178]

Great news TT, and I wish you the best of luck !!!!

But with only 150 pieces of equipment, what'cha gonna do in your spare time. I'm bettin' you maintained over that many in the time you were off work.

I know ya did one hell of a job on a B-80 at the show !!

Here's wishin you the best of luck cause you are definitely a great person B)

[bk-scouter 93]

I know I'm a new guy around here, but I was reading this topic about you and I wanted to say congrats on the new job! My wife lost hers back in early June this summer, so we're pinching the pennies not knowing how long this will last.

Will they let you practice your chip shots during breaktime??

Best of luck to you Terry!!

Congrats Terry! Are you going to mount a reel mower to the front of the black tractor to speed up the greens maintenance?

[Duff 206]

Been away for a week and just now catching up on posts. I just wanted to join the rest of the fellers and say CONGRATULATIONS on the new job!

Best,

Duff :USA:

[CasualObserver 3,411]

I'm right behind you Duff.... Congrats TT!! I heard from Dale this weekend that you had landed the job. Your constant presence on RS will be missed for sure... Best of luck my friend.

Oh... and don't eat too many from the clubhouse!

[wh500special 2,262]

Congrats on landing a permanent gig!

If I end up buying the Groundsmaster I am inspecting tonight I know who to bug for advice when it goes down!

Best wishes and hope you enjoy your new place.

Congrats on the new job Terry

Im sure your enjoy yourself playing with all those machines :USA:

Day one done and home safe & sound! :banana:

I'll bet you can't guess what broken piece of equipment we worked on for 5 of the 8 hours today.

Here's a clue: It's green with yellow rims.

Looks like it's gonna be a blast! (especially since the unit mentioned above is being sent back to the leasing company soon. )

[rustbucket 4]

sounded like a fun day and im guessing broken beyond your places ability to repair on the green weeny

[TT-(Moderator) 1,162]

No, it's repaired. The 4 year lease is up on the pair of them, so they decided to keep (buy) one and let the other go back. It is a joke compared to the Toro units and doesn't even come close to mowing as nice, so they are saving the one for the rougher fairways and where there's more sand to deal with. (kind of like a beater mower. )

[rustbucket 4]

sounds like a good idea to me. just hope those jacobsens dont get used like beaters. they are nice machines too just nuthing comapired to a toro.

It took you that long to put a set of Vise-Grips on it ??

Hey TT

How does it feel to be back among all us workin stiffs and looking forward to weekends just to be able to play with our "horses"?

:banghead:

Mike..........

I actually did have to use vise grips on one particular part! Try holding a threaded cable end to remove a 10-32 nylock nut.

The head groundskeeper told me that the best thing he ever got from having the JD's there was the free Carhartt coat! :omg:

The weird thing about it is that it feels like I was never off work for the last 27 weeks.

It's a little strange to start all over at a new place, but at least I didn't have to learn a whole new trade. (although my four previous jobs had nothing to do with small engine or mower repair - which was hard to explain to my new boss. )

I'm not too sure how www.wheelhorseforum.com would have looked on my resume, but I was prepared to use it if I had to. :thumbs:
