Re: So what are you going to do with your rebate check?

Portable winch makes sense... but that looks like a handheld winch??? How would you use a handheld winch? All you could haul with it would be stuff you could haul by hand without a winch, right?

Or is there some way to attach it to things that I am just not seeing?

Yep, there is usually a strap that hooks to the winch and to an anchor point such as a tree, post, or receiver on a hitch. Its not shown to well in the pic. The yellow strap in the pic maybe the tie down for the winch.

I was surprised to find $1800 deposited in my checking account. I was expecting $600 or so. I usually don't qualify for homeowner rebates and such, so this was a nice surprise.

We had just made over the down stair 1/2 bath, and new tile floor in the kitchen, so we will just use it to pay the bills.

Fuel Oil.

It's about empty and




Winters coming

We are along the same lines... we decided that we are spending it on a wood furnace for our house. We are getting $2100, and plan to spend almost every penny on it. My father in law has 200 wooded acres, so we get all the free hardwood we want, just have to cut and split.

Hey, drewmitch44 !!!!! My last 2 #'s are 52, and we e-filed our taxes. Got the notice that the money was in there the 5th, (Monday) I drew it out the 7th.

Did you e-file?? If so, you should have yours, "IF" your name is the first one on the listing.

Re: So what are you going to do with your rebate check?

First I'm gonna buy my wife a new handgun, for her bithday-mother's day. She needs a concealed backup gun, and with her small size it need to be a smaller weapon. The sheriff's dept doesn't issue backup firearms, but recommends that the deputies carry one. The rest is going in the bank for now, probably be used for buying fuel.
