I've somehow managed to hang onto the same Zippo since '02. Easy enough to keep track, the date is on the bottom of this one. Lost lots of 'em before.

Mine was free, has the NRA logo on it. Anytime I've helped with NRA projects over the years and there are trinkets handy, ain't never too proud to take a few along home if offered.

Just discovered recently that the NRA shotshell LED flashlight I got last year, is actually a pretty handy gizmo.

As far as the "$1300" Zippo, have been involved with rental properties over the years and came up short a time or two. The closest I've come so far are two pedestal fans, a new gallon jug of Orange Goo mechanic's hand cleaner, coupla pocket knives, a radio and some handtools.

Can't count the microwave at my cabin. Sweet little gal didn't owe any money, didn't need the microwave, so that was a gift.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
