I did recognize one actor (or maybe she is an actress which is probably politically incorrect now) - Anyway it was the one from the movieAnd apparently it was a surprise and Maisie (Arya on Game of Thrones, Neesy) wasn't there! She was supposedly Maid of Honor!
She looks quite different in ads for Game of Thrones - she has a cute personality in the above movie
Freebies? Nobody told me there would be freebies. It’s on a Saturday I’ll be working 9 hours at the home improvement center that day as people are gonna be buying their lawn mowers, tractors, grills, outdoor power equipment, and outdoor furniture… big time. And honestly, I wouldn’t go anyway. The crowds and hassle just wouldn’t be worth it.Are you going to line up for all the freebies on opening day??
Down here, when a store has a grand opening, there is usually a set # of customers who get samples, coupons, freebies. Yep standing in line/ no fun. Ok, I'll put off buying the lawnmower blade, oil, filter, plug til mid week. **** and yes, I have the right manual #'s needed-- you taught me that!
The biggest problem was with the building after the last supermarket closed. It was loaded with mold and the cost to remove it was too prohibitive. A Walmart Supercenter was going to be built just up the road from the strip mall but ran into zoning problems and the plans were nixed. I guess the Giant supermarket chain decided the cost was worth it as the community in the surrounding areas are growing as people are moving out of the urban areas because they are all going to hell.Sounds like the economy is perking up!

Take he old blade, filter and plug with you. That is the easiest way to match them up. Some associates are just too lazy to look it up, or don't know how to look it up. I will do everything I can to get the customer what they want and often send them to competitors if we don't have what they need. SAE 30 oil is just fine for your mower and will be the cheapest. You only need 10W30 or 5W30 if you plan on mowing in very cold or freezing temps. Also, ethanol is killing small motors (it creates a sludge that sits in the carburetor and soon the mower engine will give you problems until it won't work at all). Ethanol also causes your motor to run hotter than it is supposed to which decreases the lifespan, and ethanol absorbs water. If you get gas with ethanol be sure to use either the fuel additives by StarTron or Stabil 360... as they have an enzyme in it to break down the ethanol, and also stabilizes gasoline. The little bottles treat 50 gallon of gas.
There's always cookies, and you often see some big ole lug hanging around.Will there be cookies?
LOL, don't know about that but crime and killings have reached an all-time high in the three nearest urban areas.

I avoid the inner cities like the plague.Wow - stay safe - sorry to hear about this
Thank you-- ok, will bring parts with me. adding stabilizer to list. It's the once a year full maintenance . Don;t mow as much as I used to, but grass grows way too fast in FL. Home Improvement center should offer a mower service, getting too old and arthritic to be dealing with the blade.Take he old blade, filter and plug with you. That is the easiest way to match them up.

I'd need a herd during rainy season!!Buy a goat -
That’s what teenage neighbors are for. Robot lawnmowers are all the rage now with millennials, or so I’ve been told. I have yet to sell one, though.
(Be sure to get Stabil 360 and not the regular Stabil if you go with that brand. I'm hearing we might be going to 15% ethanol soon in gas. It will devastate all smaller motor products, including boats and motorcycles if we do. Luckily some gas stations like WaWa are starting to carry ethanol-free gas, but it costs 60 cents more per gallon on average.)

Then you could hire Dana Jean to come down and take care of your goat herd!
I'd like to know how she would train them to operate a lawn mower.Then you could hire Dana Jean to come down and take care of your goat herd!
