Well, this afternoon I took the most important person in my life out for the afternoon for a bit of shopping. (trranslation-"I went to the gunshow")
Took a 64 DAO with me to sell/trade and was looking for a Shield. Walked the aisle and someone offered me my asking price ($300) for a gun that I had $225 in. Guy had a pretty good shape(he sais new but it has been shot) 649 with box and tools on the old J frame for $399. I was sorely tempted, I mean SORELY tempted but I just couldn't justify a steel J frame when I already had an SP101. Decided to let God tell me whether or not to buy it (I offered the guy $399 OTD and he wouldn't eat the 8.5% sales tax). Having heard God's answer-I declared the rest of the afternoon "Boat Day" and headed to Academy.
Long story short, I came home with a new rod/reel, tackle box, pelican case, two gallons 2 stroke oil, cricket cage, a bunch of fresh water tackle, a new swivel seat top for my 5 gal bucket and two new boat seats and $40 dollars more than I left with.
Leys see....$40 plus the $40 my wife threw at me yesterday plus the $40 gift card- plus the $75 dollar profit I made on the 64-heck-I'm almost halfway to a new S&W Shield!
