I've been enjoying your free ice cream for about 4 years now. i figure that's worth $50 to a garand fund. At what, about $800 bucks for a garand, I'll bet you could have it in no time flat.
If you want to feel guilty, you can always find people harder up than you. You have the lovely Mrs. B, 2 healthy sons, a home, a job, your health. Having a Garand will not change the essential balance of your life. It's a good life, filled with blessings you did not earn.
If you want a Garand, that is a reasonable goal. Keep it 3 years or 30, you'll be able to sell it for more than you paid for it, inflation included. I'm in for $20.00, that's $70.00 so far.
My advice? While they are still available, get one of the refurbished Garands from the CMP. Here's the link: http://odcmp.com/Sales/m1garand.htm#Special I've handled one of these and they are done right.
Dang, sorry to hear that!
ReplyDeleteGot one yesterday BP. I hear ya!
ReplyDeleteGet the Garand. Call it an investment. They are appreciating in value far in excess of inflation.
ReplyDeleteI has proposal.
ReplyDeleteSet up a tip jar.

Goober, thanks. But there are so many people who are harder up than I am, I'd feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't charity. There's nothing shameful in people giving you money in exchange for a valuable service...
ReplyDeleteTip jar! Yeah, I am in!You should get a commission on the music you recommend, too! The Garand fund, let's do it!
