Well, I went into town this morning to cash a check presented to me by the pastor of a local church for some vocal work I did in his church ($150.00) and decided to stop by the local gun pusher shop just to chat. My wife had told me to get out for awhile and she would take care of our daughter (my wife is getting more comfortable with the suctioning necessitated by the trake and dealing with the asthma attacks)
Soooo...... I look in the case and see a High Standard Victor pistol in very nice shape with a Tasco dot site on top.... price tag was $450.00, a bargain for this gun . I handled it and, well, guess where that new found cash went?
Yep, laid it away.
Now, when I gave up my job at the end of the school year, I had been using that income to fund my gun purchases and other hobbies, so with the lack of any designated monies for the hobbies had decided to back off on purchasing any more guns until my social security started (another six months still).
Last month I purchased a Glenfield (Marlin) model 25 bolt action rifle for $119.00 otd) and
said to myself "It's only a little over $100", now I have another $300.00 to fund out of household expenses. And, just before Christmas.
Oh well, just couldn't pass it up. I have another concert coming up at another church and we're not that close on the budget that I can't squeeze out a couple hundred over the next several months.
Now I gotta go 'fess up to my wife......wish me luck.
