no...no joke.
this morning i stopped in at john deere dealer that is located 16-18 miles from my home (i needed a part and had to run that direction to pick up several appliances, anyway).
as i approached the parts counter, the guy behind the counter says, "hey! we were just talking about you (me) last night!".
now, i don't know these parts guys, other than to bs and snatch a much needed part and run off to get my machine back in the yard or field.
i said something like, "ok...what did i do NOW?".
the three guys behind the counter simultaneously flew into a barrage of questions about...BULLETFEST!!!
none of them had been there, but had a buddy that spectated there last year.
needless to say, they are all coming out to bulletfest to party with us this year!
hmm? now, how do i parley this into a discount on my green & yellow parts????
