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See the same thing now for we need new updated software at a crazy price cause the old system is outdated.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

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
