The gun show yesterday SUCKED. I really don;t mind being lowballed on trying to sell a couple of guns, but the guys behind the tables were bordering on abusive. I know I'm asking close to retail prices but YOU asked me what I had-I'm not looking to sell you you so much as I'm hoping to snag a fellow patron who is looking for a deal. Failing that perhaps use them for trading fodder if I saw anything that caught my eye.
I really liked handling the snubby Model 69, felt nice in my hand and appeared to be well built. Prices were not out of like on the black guns or mags. Decided to leave and go to Lafayette Shooters to check out their case prices on 9mm cases
Got there and as God as my witness they has a pair of chest waders from some group called "Sitka" for........$949.00:eek: I asked tge salesman if that was for real and he said yes and they sell the snot out of them. I asked what made them worth that much and he says that if you tear them, they have a place where you can send them off for rapair. I remarked that on the cheaper wader, duct tale and goop worked just as well. The price of designer hunting gear is out of sight! $600 hunting coats, $300 hunting pantses and so on. Hell, I'm still working on a 20+ year old waxed cotton coat WITH A GAME BAG (which none of the new gortex coats have) that I reproof for a cost of a couple of tins of wax and about an hours time on the back porch every couple of years. I've got a hunting cap that is so old it has a "Made in USA" sticker on the inside. Mu hunting pantses are $15 khakis from Wal mart. My specialty cold weather wader liners are a pair of $6 sweats. Jeeze the whole country has gone insane. I'd get laughed out of camp is I showed up with a thousand dollar pair od chest waders.

Finally, anybody who really believes yesterday's event in New York was a suicide also believes that lap dancers REALLY like you

Those are the fancy ones with a waterproof zipper.
They offer an economy version without the zipper for $849 plus free shipping. They only go up to size 13, but they do come in 3XL!

Sitka is a subsidiary of W. L. Gore & Associates, who also owns Gore Wear. You probably know them for their cycling apparel. Their bib tights are only $199.99 and you can add a hooded jacket for only $399.99 more! :D

We're all getting older and play the I remember game . It's ok , just as long as you don't get to the point of " I remember when I was a kid I walked 5 miles to school , uphill , in the snow , with no shoes ."

You got that right!
Anyone that believes it needs to buy a pair of those high dollar waders also because the stink is pretty deep.
 
I gave your post a like based solely on this sentence:

With bonus points for this sentence:

Octogenarian #1: "Kids today don't know how good they have it! When I was a kid we had to walk to school in shoes that had holes in the soles!"

Octogenarian #2: "Shoes??? You were lucky!! We had to walk to school with our feet wrapped in newspapers!"

Octogenarian #3: "Feet? You had feet?"

Kids to grandpa: “Grandpa, can you teach us how to shoot with bow and arrows? You used to be in the Army!”

Grandpa: “Bow and arrows?! We had tanks and guns!”

Kid to kid: “He is younger than he looks.”
 
Karen was watching some reality TV last week but don’t ask me what it was. A bunch of guys decided to go”camping” in a luxury RV the size of our house. TV, full bathroom, large fridge for the beer etc and a driver.

In my day camping required a 3-t hour drive, a half days walk and a tent, everything for the camp carried in on our back. Washing in a cold creek and sleeping with a tree root right where it was most uncomfortable .

Buncha pansies.
 
We walked to school and home again barefoot in the snow up hill both ways after feeding the animals and other chores we had before breakfast and then when we got home we milked the cows, gathered eggs, mended fences and patched holes in the barn roof before eating supper. We did our homework by candle light and was glad we had it.

Diane and I started camping together the Summer we were married, We loaded it in the 4x4, and set off after work on Friday Night. We usually got set up by 11PM! Set Up means set up a tent build a fire boil coffee and gather fire wood, but not in that order! This Spring was our 41st anniversary, and we still camp in a tent, cook in a Dutch-oven and have no A/C!

I can tell you, it isn't the gadgets! It's the company, that makes an outing enjoyable! (That includes our adult children, their spouses and the herd of grandkids!!!) I do usually complain about the price of firewood, after all it does grow on trees!
