Drinking is Expensive -- Impulsive Purchases

[RabbitSlayer]

When the old lady is gone and I get to drinking on a Friday night, it gets expensive. 125 bucks just in shipping for an adjustable bag base from Mark and Sam in Australia. If the stupid 105 degree weather would stop I could test it out! At least I can rock the polo shirt in the meantime.

She left you alone without adult supervision, it’s her fault.

Ha! You got off cheap! I got to looking at Gunbroker and saw a pretty piece of wood. I bought it and I wasn’t even drinking!

 

[J.d. Popkes]

I want that and their bipod. I better open the bottle and throw away the lid.

If she is gone now, I got a more user friendly knob for that for 325.00 plus shipping

When I enjoy 3 or maybe 4 fingers of fine Maker's Mark, I have visions of fresh cut hay fields loaded with ground hogs.

PS: I make it a point to hide my credit card when I am into my cup.

I have questions on how much elevation it gives, but my wallet says don’t ask.

In the lowest position it raises it an 1". The highest position adds another 7\8". Then you can add spacers made of wood or rubber or whatever. I think ill add something to prevent the bag from sliding around.

That’s really nice!
Thanks for the info.

I hate to think of all the money I have spent, mostly on hunting and shooting stuff, while sitting at one of my kids volleyball or softball tournaments during a break. I could be rich! Bit them I would have less knives, and multi tools, ammo and snowmobile parts so I probably wouldn’t be happy anyway

Happens to me every damn time…

I did the same thing probably 6 years ago. We had 96 acres near Wheeling WV and I was questioned for 1.5 hrs in court order deposition over law suite by CNX gas of road right of way they requested. Stayed in motel overnight and had few to many beers and bought Kelby Atlas rifle and Sinclair competition rest.

You only live once! Don’t half do anything!

Hell, have you seen the prices of bourbon and whisky in the past five years? Redbreast Cask 12 was ~$80 and Henry McKenna 10 was ~$50. Now Redbreast 12 is $110 and HM10 is $80.
Not as bad as ammo or components, though.

Just broke into my bottle of HM10 last night. I find it's much tastier when cut to ~80 proof, where the alcohol doesn't mess with all the flavors.

its a cool idea youve presented us and to think it was all made possible by some stuff in a little bottle thanks

Yep. But for some things, there are no substitutes. Just sit back, enjoy the ride and be thankful for being able to play a little.

As Dad use to say, he never saw a Uhaul behind a funeral procession.

The beer fridge in my gun room needs to go. Had a guy show up with a $12,000 custom welding machine I "agreed" to buy over the phone the night before (been drinkin'). Damn sweet pipeline welder though!

As they say around here "There are no pockets in a shroud". Enjoy today, but keep one eye on the future and don't forget the lessons of the past.

I bought a Beretta 686 O/U drinking one night. More interesting was my wife calling me the next day unhappily helping remember my purchase when she saw it hit the bank.

Is that when you say” it’s alright sweetie, I know you work hard for our money.”
