My check isn't gone, it's just converted. It's standing out in the driveway - a new 2-car carport. I have half the roof on at the moment.

Would love spending it on travel, but this hoax-covid climate prevents that. I just flew on 24 hour notice 2 different times in last 2 weeks for super cheap airfares. Short security lines, mostly empty planes. I'd go again if the need arose.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Lordy, Lordy my Gub'mint check she gone, she gone (spoken with the appropriate eubonics drawl)!
Yep I pissed it away - every cent of it. Plus about $300.00 more. And it only took me 10 or 12 days.
I spent every penny of it, on GUNS!
I could NOT be happier.
I can't wait for the next one (Gub'mint check!).
I am growing to like this Gub'mint give away stuff. It would not take much for me to become a member of the "gimmee, gimmee, gimmee" crowd.
I am just happy as a clam with the two Rifles and 1 pistol I bought with my Gub'mint check.
First off I bought a mint perfect all original Remington 513-T with 3 magazines and original Redfield Target sights circa 1965 ($400.00) .
Next day I bought a minty Marlin Golden 39-A circa 1965 ($550.00)
Then yesterday I completed a deal on a Kimber Custom II 45 ACP ANIB with 3 Kimber magazines ($575.00 - came with two new unused "survival knives" valued at $210.00 retail).
Anyway I can not remember, ever, so unabashedly "pissing away" this much money - and feeling so good about it.
I have "stimulated" the economy enough for now.
I have to get myself back under control.
I just hope some of this money came from george soros's pocket.
He-he.

We put ours in the bank for a rainy day. It seems to be a novel idea but it works for us.

DeFlave: Don't give up on me just yet - I bought that Kimber 1911 Custom II with 3 magazines and two un-used "survival" type knives to help an "acquaintance" out of a financial bind.
I would not doubt that he will want to buy it back in a few months?
Personally I have suffered numerous broken bones in my right hand along with a torn loose ligament in my right thumb wrist connection then I inherited arthritis in the thumb and first two fingers of both hand (father had it one brother has the same condition!). Soooo..... long story short even though I own MANY 44 magnum revolvers and one other 1911 "I" can NOT shoot them with out much pain/discomfort at the instant of the shot (recoil).
So I won't be running any ammo through this minty Kimber 1911 and will wait a respectful amount of time and sell it (and the survival knives!).
I can shoot 40 S&W and lesser recoilers with not much discomfort at all.
Even though I am devoid of mad money, I went with another friend today way east, to a gunshop where this friend bought a new Colt 1911 Commander ($1,050.00 - no sales tax) - when I heard he was going I bummed along.
Fun trip but nothing of interest for me at that shop.
So forgive my "acquisition" of the 1911.
One of the knives I got was an EESE-3 with dual scabbard systems - its a fixed blade powder coated 4"'ish blade - I looked it up and they retail at $190.00.
The other one I have not looked up yet - oops "dinner bell" more later.
Hope all is well down Florida way.
