..............I work 12 hour shifts at night over the weekends. Four nights one week and 3 nights the next, etc. I get off Monday at 0600 and rather then burn a day off I stay up. Not real tough in the winter when it's cool, but in the summer it can be a real war. Regardless the temp, usually about 1100 or so I start slowing down and can pretty well entertain myself by just sitting in the shop leaning against the workbench feeling sorry about all the stuff not getting done.
So this Monday AM I thought I'd check in on E-Bone to a couple of favorite sellers who've historicly had some pretty nifty stuff end on Monday mornings. I scored pretty well I'm happy to say :-). Best was 10 Guhring 3/8" Tin coated parabolic drill bits for $0.99, but the jazbo was charging $15 shipping. I didn't kick because these things cost $37 EACHH!!!!!!! at MSC :holysheep,
Then I checked out the board here. Fooled around in the shop a bit and just couldn't really get wound up to start anything. Maybe I should say I just couldn't get it all in one sock. One thing I knew was gonna happen was that I was going to the Whoppertorium and then the smoke shop for life's essentials.
At the BK place I had a leisurely lunch amongst a bunch of squaling, screaming run a mok kids amd then left to pick up some smokes. On the way I passed the local Big 5 sporting goods but they were on the other side of the divided street and I was going the wrong way. Saved! One of the guys last Tuesday was showing off his new Savage heavy barrel 22RF he'd picked up for a screaming price at a different Big 5. I DO NOT need another 22RF rifle, but it was such a GOOD deal! :groner:
As luck would have it, the smoke shop is about a half mile up the street, but is on the other side. Right, it's on the same side as Big5. When I came out I sat in the car dithering for a few minutes about should I or shouldn't I? Heck, I knew what you guys would have said, so I should and I did. I figured I'd pick up a gun case as I did need a kind of smaller one. WHen I went back to the gun dept, what did they have in the rack but a M95 Steyr tagged at $89.
Actually a M95/34 but regardless, my chances of seeing another for that price so close and looking so nice were about nil. All at the same time I was elated and ashamed of myself. Don't go get on your high horse neither because you've been there and done that. I got a gun case too :-). I hope the thing doesn't shoot as I'd sure like to make it into something else, ha!
