The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

[MikeADore]

That's kind of like the old man bites dog story with a human element. News people like to get a laugh out of the audience here and there.

Now, see, you and I are in agreement on this. But, the news people were dead-on serious. You'd have thought they had uncovered a serial killer.

23 atties (and I can and will buy and run a mill and lathe if need be)

Oh yeah. Nice looking gadget. How much would you have to pay for something like that.

More important.... How much would you charge to mill me an atty?

1/4 retail used from a racing buddy of my Brother in law.

I gotta learn first grasshopper, it's been over 40 years since shop class. Besides, for everything you've done for me and countless others if I could it would be as a thank you.

i *think* this started at around 300 days

so, nearing half way mark since announcement is a good time to pause, reflect, and count stocks

I would be in sad shape if not for this thread. I don’t remember how I stumbled on it but I do remember it took me two days to read it all. I am well stocked now.

thank you.

PS. Also lead me to a few other threads all filled with warm, welcoming people who love to help!

Well, I acquired a 5 cu ft chest freezer. Couldn't keep all the nicotine in the food freezer any longer.
Sometime you need frozen pizza!

Luckily, I was visiting family over Thanksgiving and could send my nicotine order to that address. My lovely "We'll do the thinking for you" state banned such things and I couldn't find a known vendor who would ship here.

Next trip, if the Feds don't get involved, I'll get more. Bought some additional tanks for stockpiling too. I just love the Zeus 2 and X.
Mods? Plenty of those on hand.

Take heart from the pot wars though. In 50 years, nicotine will be legalized once again...

That will hold a lot of nic.

That will hold a lot of nic.

The advantage of a dedicated freezer is you don't need bottles. Just pour it straight into the freezer.

In that case, 1 cubic foot equals 28.3 liters!

Convert it into a keg to fill your mix bottles with minimal effort.

Yeah, that is a very consoling thought for everyone over 50. Something to look forward to.

The bright side to being over 60 (in my case) is that a lifetime supply is not as expensive as if I were younger.

Another thing about being over 60 is I’m starting to do things for the last time. Putting a new roof on the house, for example.

Even if I was 20 instead of 60, a lifetime supply could still be had for less than one years worth of cigarettes.

Yeah. About that... We built this place 23 years ago, with 25 year shingles....

I worked at a gas station in 1977 (back when we pumped the customer’s gas and washed the windshield) and cigs were 50 cents. That was 12 cents more than what I paid for my first pack of smokes. I remember swearing I would quit when smokes hit a buck. What a lie!

I hear yuh. My house is 22 years old with 25 year shingles. I get more shingle gravel in my gutters than water.
