People paying 175 for a brick of primers. I’m thinking about selling some of mine.

If going to Walmart isn't bad enough the bums have stolen almost all the carts. There are maybe 30 carts for the entire store. I wandered around for a while to find one and finally gave up and went back out to the parking lot. The 'cart corral' half down the lot had a single cart in it
Driving back on hwy 16 there's a homeless camp off to the right with a dozen or so Target and Walmart carts stacked up full of crap. Is it any wonder normal people are leaving this place Tractor supply. 5 gallon tub of 15w40 is pretty cheap. You'll need it :)

So my Son wanted to go fishing and i was looking for a small rowboat. I buy a fishing license online, and fast forward he say's let's get Fishing Kayak's. Ok, so i start looking....Try and find one right now, they are popular. He say's his Boss just got one at Tractor supply. I never would have thought of looking for a Kayak there. I go online, see one i am interested in but it's not in stock. Puyallup has one, but we stop by the Kent store first just to look. Nope, they don't have one and neither does Puyallup....or Tacoma. They do have 2 Kayak's, one is in the back still in the wrap and hasn't hit the floor, the other was outside in the fencing area. They had sold the other two they had earlier, so my son and i bought the two they had. We take them home, get them setup and then uh oh, we don't have life jackets, and i don't have a "Discovery pass". Another 35 bucks to the State and Off to Big 5 we go. So after all the running around we finally hit Lake Desire at about 5:15PM. I nailed a nice 11" hatchery plant pretty quickly and then lost another about 40 minutes later. My son caught two and we got off the water about 7:30. So about 1000 dollars later we had 3 Trout and a little Father Son time. Yeah, it was worth it.

Yeah /sarc "it was worth it" but seriously, you got to drive around with your son all day on a mission to find some boats, found them, got to go fishing with him, and drove home as the sun set. That's a memory worth more than $1k if you ask me. Awesome work dad!

Is it any wonder normal people are leaving this place Tractor supply. 5 gallon tub of 15w40 is pretty cheap. You'll need it :) Delo 2.5gallon at wally is the cheapest unless you get orieilys to beat them. Usually $27-29 at wally for the 2.5 gal jug. About $11.50 a gallon or = $57.50 a 5gal pail. Tractor supply had 2.5 gallon jugs of delvac a few weeks ago for around the same price, but their 5 gallon pails are usually more$

She went right to the boot isle! I checked the gun section, the pitchfork prices (we break a ton in the sawdust pile) and some other random tools and found most everything was more expensive than TSC or my local feed store. I didnt think to look at their oil tho.

Be careful tho, its usually light on the additives packages. On the equipment and tractor forums you can find oil analysis with results.
