Drive up to Sturtevant again this Friday. Last Friday drove up and picked up a brand new Heatnglo 36" fireplace that was just discontinued. A $3500 unit, 500 bucks. While there. He told us he also had one of those new thin ones, a 33", that a contractor misordered. That was a $4300 unit. 800 bucks. Since I only had my SUV, I could only take the first one last week.
These are for the vacation rental home we are preparing. So two brand new fireplace(propane) for 1300 bucks. Gawd I love saving money!
While up in Wisconsin, both times, drove up to Kendor's, a marine surplus place, and bought some stuff. On the way back, both times picked up a bunch of fresh cheese curds at Mars Cheese Castle. Man are these cuts squeeky!
This time we had lunch there. 9 bucks for a huge Italian beef sandwich. Very good. Glad we stopped there for lunch.
Yesterday, before going to work on our hydrofoil again, did a detour to a few garage sales. A guy put out his dinghy for sale next to one of the garage sales. A very nice west marine 10 foot dinghy. With 9.9 electric start outboard, and the trailer it was on, 750 bucks! I can sell this thing right now for 2k, and may at the end of the summer, but it's just what I need while attaching the hydrofoil to my dock. Talky about being on the right place at the right time. I had just sold our old dinghy with a 1995 Johnson on it, no trailer. For 1100 bucks a month ago.
Retirement is grand!
