He isn't going to go with 20%...haven't you figured out how our new President works? Or any deal broker for that matter...I wonder why no one mentions that the cost of Obamacare just gets passed on too. I mean....I have to raise my prices because my health insurance premiums DOUBLED and my deductible QUADRUPLED. But it is fun to watch anti Trump people freak out over nothing but GREAT news !!!

I know what he is acting like. I had a brother that acted very similar that is out on the streets now. I was willing to provide him a home but since he couldn't get his way and run over me he showed his backside. He had people believing his lies until they finally found he was doing things he said he wasn't. He gave me so trouble that I had to move out state just to have some peace.

People using the absolutely term are usually just lying through their teeth or at least that how it has been with managers that I have dealt with over the years. I went out and got a 20K order based on a great plan my company that worked for said and then my company said we can't do that. I looked like a big fool for getting that supply order from a local factory that I couldn't even fill. So I have learned to not trust anybody that uses absolutely term anytime that I am working a deal; I just drop it right there and move on to another vendor.

I know...besides what is was so great about Obamacare. Sure didn't do anything for me. I still without any medical care or insurance; don't make enough to get any coverage at all and too to get on Medicaid. Just having to treat myself using whatever herbs I can find. I probably won't be to get any medical insurance or care even with the next great Absolutely Plan that comes along.

Nearly dead a Christmas a year ago from food poisoning over a slice of bologna. Third time I had food poisoning and this time it nearly took me out. The first time from a hotel in Dayton, OH; second time KFC in Russellville, AL; and now from Sav-a-lot in Decherd, TN. Probably the time it will take me out.

I was sore for a month of all the heaving I did to it off my stomach. So dizzy that I couldn't even crawl to the phone. I couldn't even stay on my hands and knees long enough to up chuck into the toilet. Just had to lay there in the up chuck on my bathroom floor until I felt well enough to crawl back to my recliner. One of those deals were someone left it out on the shelf, it was just bad enough to make you sick and someone had just it back in the cooler. That something I never did when I work in the meat department. That been over a year I still leery any cold cuts.

Trump is what you get when you go Socialist on your base. The Democrat Party openly turned their back on people like me.

Why do you think I am an independent voter as I vote for whoever I feel to can do the best job and not along some party line. I don't care which party they are with as long as they can do job right. At least I do vote and have the right to complain when things are going in the wrong direction. Doesn't mean I right that why we all should vote just to get a consensus opinion of the candidates and hope we get it right.

Anyway whatever happens we all will just have to deal it now. I just get along with business and living until my world comes to end here on Earth. I live one day at a time now and don't even if don't I make pass the next minute as none us do.

All I can tell you right now is I having to deal some real idiots lately. I ordered a garage door spring based on how they told me to measure it. When the new spring came in it was too short by 4" as they went and measured differently. So I was trying get the part of the correct length 39" instead the 35" they sent and that I mis-rodered based on their info. Low and behold they said order a 31" spring in a return email and that after I sent them pictures of me measuring the spring. Well I just return the spring. They sent me a return label and said take it to the local UPS dropbox. Well those dropboxes wouldn't take that size package and I had to drive 35 miles one way to the local UPS office to ship back. I end spending a half day shipping that package back. Now I got to re-order the spring from someone else that might understand what size I need.; probably not. I probably end up having to install a whole new garage door setup just so I can use my shop. It seems some companies just hires a body to be there; definitely not one the brains are being used.

I have also try that SafeLink service. Well it works great until you have a problem. Then you got to deal a computer trying to get the broken phone replaced. Finally I got to talk real live person and they me told there nothing wrong the phone as I can turn it on. Finally they sent me an email 2 weeks ago cancelling the service for non use. Now they just me a card in the mail yesterday saying they will cancel my service if I don't use my phone in the next 15 days. Heck the service has been cancelled for over two weeks by them before even they sent the card. Gives me a number to call if "there is other reasons why you are not using your phone". Well that number is that Dang computer as I have tried calling it and get no where. I love to have the phone working as I would not tie to the home shop waiting on customers.

Thing I most look forward to (and hope for) is seeing that cheapo chinese crap that is being dumped in our market having their prices skyrocket so the "real thing" is a more attractive buy for the "el-cheapo" buyers ... not too long ago I had a factory in China trying to get me to book an order for their replacement carburetors - like a carb for a Stihl for $3.28 each ... so now I know where all those $12.99 carbs are coming from on Amazon and ebay.. but I wont hold my breath for that to happen.

Those el cheapo Stihl carburetors are most time factory rejects. I got one here that they even ground off the numbers. You can't even adjust the fuel mixture on it even though has adjustable metering needles. I only buy from a known good source on them. No use in wasting my time with the junk stuff.

And you right about getting el cheapo customers to switch back to things that work. I get them here that complain like heck because of what I charge for a replacement carburetor on a Briggs even when it get a junky Ruixing carburetor. They say oh I can order one off Ebay for x number dollars then I say then why are you here for me to do the repairs. I had one last year a that a repair shop had used JB Weld to repair the carburetor. Needless to say it didn't work.

Working on Briggs 124702 today that would not start. Found no compression. Pulled head. Someone great tech had used blue rtv to seal the head gasket. No wonder they said it was smoking. Didn't work but there more major problems as the intake valve seat is completely loose holding the intake valve open and cylinder got quite a few scratches from not using an air filter...One very bed mouse bed on top of engine. Probably overheat and the valve seat came out. Rebuildable but I know the owner is tight wad, haven't even bother to price it out.

I writing it off as lost cause other than do some self training on redo that seat. Looks like all I got to do the put it back in and re-stake it but got to remove the valve just make sure no damage otherwise. I have done one these before but read up how it is done. As for the Snapper SP mower body I have already stripped it for the transmission and wheel adjusters. So it will cost too much to rebuild it anyway.
