Old “New” Equipment again

MercenaryD | March 19, 2010

I got the quote for the pump on the rider’s engine. $55.75 plus tax. For a tiny pump that can be lost in the palm of your hand…. dang…. So I looked it up online. $25.00 plus shipping, or about $33.00. Now theres a major difference! Why is it that if I go to the [...]

Long time with no update and stressed out

MercenaryD | January 21, 2010

Wow I’ve let a long time go since the last time I posted something. Well, if you couldn’t figure it out, I’ve been busy. Busy trying to make up the money I spent on all that equipment. Which isn’t going to well. What money I have left as well as most of the money I’ve [...]

Ouch!

MercenaryD | September 25, 2009

Ah… This sucks!
I hurt my finger… A nice deep gash, two actually right beside each other. From just below the last knuckle through the quick of the nail, almost an 1/8 of an inch deep. Now its bandaged with a nice throbbing sting to it. My arm is tired from keeping it up above my [...]

Missing Sign

MercenaryD | July 22, 2009

Last night, actually the night before, someone stole one of our signs from the corner of Rt. 7 and Main street in Sidney. They then took our Chamber of Commerce sign, a yellow sandwich board sign that we were using for advertising of a couple of events and through it in the Susquehanna river.
Yesterday evening [...]

Equipment Breakdowns

MercenaryD | June 30, 2009

No matter who you are, or what you do, (unless you have someone else to take care of you and your stuff) you will have them. The thing is whether ot not you can take care of it your self right?
Somethings yes, some no.
For the last, oh 2 months or so, I’ve been down to [...]

Vending Machine No No

MercenaryD | June 2, 2009

I was out and about yesterday evening, and I had one of those appithiny moments. I sat in a small Dinner looking out at the street when it caught my attention that sitting in front of both the gas station and the local grocery store across the street were vending machines.
Why? Normally you see them [...]

everyone is trying to make me the bad guy

MercenaryD | May 6, 2009

Jeese… everyone is trying to make me the bad guy when dealing with the old cat.
Yes at 19 shes an old lady. But she seems to have dementia and is mentally about 1 or 2, and is acting as if she was never really a house cat, but a street cat instead.
Just because I’m not [...]

HDTV — bad move for anyone on an antenna

MercenaryD | March 11, 2009

Today I hooked up a HDTV digital converter box for my dad, as he put it it was bad enough that he was forced but after it was hooked up the number of channels available went down as well as quality.
Ok, I know that that wasn’t the intention of the HDTV. It was supposed to [...]

Try again….

MercenaryD | January 31, 2009

Try again and again, well there is only so much to patience one can have.

You can tell from this first line that I’m still having a hard time with the furnace. I got it to run again for about 30 seconds before it quit. Ok, this is what I did this time.
