John Deere Corporate Might Have Reason to Panic, But Farmers Will Love What’s Happening

Farmers have been battling the manufacturers of their high-tech farming machinery for years over the right to repair their equipment on their own.

Major companies in the space, including John Deere, began restricting products to manufacturer exclusive service contracts.

These contracts lock out the farmers who own tractors, for instance, from making even small repairs to their machines. Instead, when something breaks down, farmers have to call the manufacturer or dealer to schedule a repairman to come out and service the device, forcing the farmer to shut down his operations while waiting for the repairman to come out to the farm.

This is obviously a serious problem for farmers who are under strict time restrictions during planting and harvesting seasons.

Few weeks ago. Zombie banks than can’t lend will become distressed. Now money not coming in saving themselves from devaluation losing money moving them out to interest accounts or money markets or fear of them going bust. The economy and stages he sees coming. He’s been slowly moving back into miners.

Valerian root can be an aid to getting asleep. Smells weird but what the heck!

Hope you finally got some sleep. I noticed when I retired it started happening and guess it’s because your not using up all that energy anymore.
Wow that’s rare to get free tickets. You were lucky there.
Yes I wasn’t around yet when Babe or Lou played but I did somehow emulate Babe with some traits growing up between baseball and dolls. Good thing those gender affirmation wackos weren’t around then. He little girl wanna be Babe Ruth someday.
Even choosing what part of the field I was going to hit a home run. When I went up to bat the girls backed up. Most weren’t as fast as the Wisconsin girls. Sometimes we’ll all the time they’d try to walk me when bases were loaded. I played pitcher catcher and first base. By high school I managed to get the all boys then maybe still now little league to let me practice with them.
That set a new level of from easy to not so easy and good luck with the home runs. They went after them so had to come up with a strategy they couldn’t catch them at least. Out field would have to be asleep. I though because they threw it faster I could hit the ball even father but was the opposite, batting against that speed and a lot of resistance. No helmets then either.
By brother kept the cards. I remember Mickey, Willy but not so much about Mr hammer I guess they called him.
My memory was vague but yeah the Dodgers. I met one of them in a bowling ally in southern call when me and a couple of nurse friends went out to play pool they had in there.
Some guy with a Dodgers jacket sitting at the bar kept staring at me. First I though he was watching me because this little Mexican girl came up to me wanting me to teach her how to play pool so with permission from her parents I picked her up and let her shoot for me. She was only about 4 yrs old. She got a kick out of that.
But then he walked over to my friends sitting down having a drink and introduced himself to them and had them bring him to me. I don’t know if he thought telling me first he was a Dodgers player I was supposed to act different but shook his hand and went back too playing pool. I was already taken at the time, darn lol
I think he said his name was Dave Anderson. That was back in the 80s.
I also met a good friend and actress of that cowboy actor that owned the team I think. It was so long ago. I was her neighbor years before but didn’t know her personally until a car drove through her apt where the apt was on a hill overlooking a golf coarse.
A young girl lost control going down the hill and went right through her apt. I went in and got her out. That was a miracle. She had some good deep abrasions on her arms but other wise okay. The car hit the couch she was on and threw her off she said. The car was in the door. I got her out threw a hole in the wall it left.
Guess I was just meant to be around baseball lol
I only have a couple of GI Joes left the ones in the box I mentioned plus a non boxed bearded one. I didn’t want to give them the boxed ones or they wouldn’t stay that way and the battery if the recording would of stopped working till they’re older which two of them are old enough now.
Well at least you still have your Morgan’s. I had two key date ones but were stolen.
As far as the shares I guess that saying don’t put all your eggs in one basket is still wise.
The worse trouble I ever had was the metals shares. Maybe that’s what’s making me not jump ship from ZIM after I saw that chart change. Just think of it like a gold stock I guess. If I sold some on that bounce to buy back after the divi I supposed I wouldn’t of minded though. Well that’s cool thank you very much lol
Best way I guess especially now as they don’t charge you anymore is set a stop loss or take some or what you paid off the table on the way up. But as they go that’s when they’ll keep going up.

I’d be willing to bet your GI Joe stuff is worth a pretty penny now. They just don’t make no mo!

You’re too young for Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig are your favorites. Ya gotta pick someone in the 50’s – 60″s. Any Mantle, Mays, Clemente, Ted Williams (I’d think more your style) , Aaron. There were so many great players when I was growing up. I remember listening to the Dodgers Vin Scully when I was a little kid always when they played the Giants. Drysdale, who’s wife Anne Meyers (best woman basketball player in College) was a pretty good friend. After he died suddenly and she was left with three young children. The boys were in a man’s body. They were my kids friends in the late 90’s, early 2000’s, until we moved to Idaho.

I can tell you that I don’t have anything of real value from Lou or Babe. By the time I started, most of that stuff was unaffordable or more than I was willing to pay for, although I’ve learned 20 years later that it’s all relative. It must have been very hard for her. She had box seats for life, the Dodgers keep X amount of seats for former players and families. She’d throw us tickets, also tickets to UCLA Football games. Deal was that I took the kids, she got a break.

My focus has been the 50’s and 60’s with as many Mantle’s as I could get my hands on. Willie Mays, Aaron and Roberto Clemente too.

I’ve been asleep for 20 years Goldie, depressed with how gold never got going and then there’s the shares…things have changed a lot. Check out the prices of graded/slabbed MS 67 Morgan Silver dollars. It is unbelievable what they are asking for even the weakest years, i.e. 1921. Somehow, in my slumber I just kept buying these things and stuffed it away. Ya just never know unless you’re paying attention. 🙂
