I picked mine out of the Lowes ad, the Aluminum folding work platform. The prices will start Thursday so I'll be there when they open the doors, get the one item that I want and go back home. Home Depot here gets mobbed for that sale so won't go there.
 
Shopping for a Kubota L6060 but I don't think that my dealer is going to give me any special deal on Friday.

Really considering the Porter Cable 30 gallon belt drive air compressor at Tractor supply for $350. They've also got 27' ratchet straps, 2 for $15. We won't talk about what all the wife wants...
 
The fridge quit this morning,Home Depot was the best price by 300.00. It is down to 50deg and dropping right now.
 
No door buster sale but I did buy a 1941 ford 9n yesterday. Does that count? Spent the money so need to fight the crowd on black friday (which they moved up because I think it starts on thurday).

Probly will not leave the place on Friday unless I go after a load of hay. Dixie might buy something on line but our biggest sale item last evening was a 22 pound turkey for .52 per pound. I ask the game warden if he was going to shoot a wild turkey for Thanksgiving. He said no way he was going to pay 25 bucks for a stamp to shoot a skinny turkey.
 
Deep Homo had a pre-Black Friday sale last week. I bought a new Rigid shop vac to replace the worn out old Crapsman in the garage.

The rest of my "holiday spending" will be on motorcycle parts for the project bike I bought for this Winter.
 
Just learned that our local Lowes is closed tomorrow, but they will open at 5:00 a.m. on Friday. Deals are limited to supply so they will run out of those fast.
 
I remember them well.

I bought a new Suzuki X6 Hustler in 1966. I consider the X6 the very first crotch rocket. It was so much quicker than anything ever remotely similar in size and cost.

Kawasaki changed the world again when they introduced the H1 triple in 1968.

The EPA would have had a cow....

A lot of folks consider the X6 the Original Superbike. High School buddy of mine had one and we all laughed at his "Japcrap Ricer" until he started blowing the doors off everything in sight.
 
It was a screamer in its day, and the 6 speed transmission allowed one to keep it "on the cam."

In 65 or 66, someone with a Honda 160 Sport was pretty cool and someone with a HD Sprint or Honda 305 cc Super Hawk was at the top of the young biker food chain. Then the X6 came out.

After I totally destroyed the first Super Hawk, none of the other Super Hawk owners would run me.

After a year or so, I bored mine out and installed Wiseco 2 ring racing pistons. I also ported it and milled the head. "On the cam" increased by about 2000 RPM but you needed to rev it to 5000 RPM or so to pull away from the curb.

I could pull a Triumph Bonnevile or HD Sportster out of the hole and stay ahead of either through third gear. At 55 or 60 MPH they would pass me but would not run away and I was still close on top end.

It all changed again in 68 with the H1.

Probably nothing in town but on Friday I'm going to a farm sale in KS and on Saturday the estate sale of a tractor collector in MO...So it remains to be seen what I'll buy....One thing for sure is that its going to be cold and wet both days..
 
I keep cutting unknown steel and ruining my lathe parting tool so been wanting a carbide parting tool. Shars tools is having a 20% sale so I made a deal this morning on a nice carbide parting/grooving tool setup. That's all the shopping frenzy I need.
 
Nothing.

In fact, I spent the morning in my shop coping with a feeding problem on my MIG welder.
 
My Mother was a WWII Army Nurse in New Guinea and the Philippines.

She first met my Father in Leyte Gulf in early 1945.

Thank you for your service.

I bought a Honda 250 cc Scrambler in Yokosouka Japan in 66. They never imported them to the US as they made the 305 directly after the 250. When I rode a 305 I thought is was a rocket.
Then in 71 I was again in Japan and bought a 750 4 in a crate from the factory and had it craned onto the USS COnstellation for the trip home. One of about 200 motorcycles loaded that day. I put it together and rode it down to the local Honda shop in San Diego, They hadn't seen one yet.
On the next Westpac cruise I brought home two Yamaha DT-1' and a CX500TC Turbo. That is a ROCKET and it's in my shop tonight.
