Yep. What gets me is all city and county employees everywhere and appear in front of their commission asking for new vehicles. It's always the same old story. The vehicle is 2 or 3 years old and maintenance costs are going up.

I am thinking of course maintenance goes up but not compared to buying new. They all want to be driving newer vehicles and the commissions usually bite.

Another pet peeve is the city/county employee saying they were told they need to replace the HVAC system in the building cause it is at the end of its 6 year guaranteed life and (of course) maintenance costs are going up. Even though it works fine.

And they all say they have money in the budget to cover it. Never mind the fact that a year ago when the budget was formulated, the item was not even known or factored it.

See the same thing now for we need new updated software at a crazy price cause the old system is outdated.

Getting too many people on these commissions who have no common sense, no business sense, and who don't know the difference between a hammer and screwdriver.

Remember being at a commission meeting and the fire chief was asking to buy 2 new special motorola radios at a high price. Claimed they will work better for communication from the inside of a burning building to the outside. When asked to see one he pulled it out of his belt holster and said the company was letting them try it out. When asked who would have them and he said it would be he and the asst. chief. Well they agreed to buy them. I was sitting back there thinking that if there is a building fire somewhere, the chief and the asst. chief are never going to be the ones entering a burning building. It's the regular firefighter who could probably use them.

Getting off the soap box now.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
