Drinking is Expensive -- Impulsive Purchases

I "need" better picures so I can add it to my project list........

Yea blame it on something as fine as a good afternoon drink, you should be ashamed, not for buying a new toy and being proud of it. But for putting the blame on something as essential and wholesome as a glass of fine liquor. I bet when she came home with a brand new pair of shoes, she didn't blame it on anything.

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!View attachment 1593611

Well if you get to drinking in the future and find yourself wanting to sell that beautiful rifle just let me know. Don’t see those often and that’s a nice one!

My wife knows the CC bill goes up if I’m enjoying a bit of whiskey late in the day, you should ask her what the tequila does. I’m 57 but she gets a grin when that stuff comes out……

I learned not to go to auctions with a free bar.

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.

My local liquor warehouse sells McKenna 10 for $60 & Michter's for about the same. A "handle" of the regular stuff is in the $20s and a good substitute at a reasonable price. I only drink it late after I refuse to take my plastice out of my pocket.

Lucky you, our state taxes the heck out of things like liquor & gas. Fuel here is close to $4/gallon.

I find the McKenna to be much more flavorful when I cut it to 80 proof.

I try to be clear headed if I’m online shopping. It takes to much restraint if you are under the influence of good whiskey….

Water's for teardrops, Dickel's for drinking...the late Merle Haggard..

Its been known to happen to me too. Hell, last night after a couple strong beers I moved on to rum while listening to records and nearly bought more audio gear! I knew better and should have looked for powder in stock instead.

Used some plywood, spray paint, and whiskey I had laying around to make a base to keep the bag from moving.

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

If I get left alone without adult supervision, I start abusing Pizza...

i can testify that pain medication resulted in a BAT SV 20 VT, 5000 20 cal bullets, a Viper Vortex, A Vortex Strike Eagle, 100 pounds of mixed manufacture powder, the sale of a Winchester 88 with a documented 24 rounds thru it (1958 vintage), 30 Herrett dies and brass (no barrel), several leupold scopes, thousands of bullets for my 6mm, reloading dies, misc repaoding tools, a vault door, a 1911....

I'll stop there.

When I stopped hanging out here while on pain meds, my budget stabalized and now I just need to send my air rifle for a rebuild, send my 414 to Lee Shaver for a rebuild, buy a....

But I am resisting because my classic car occupies my only garage right now and if I don't work on it, I will never sit in a warm car in the morning in winter ever again....
