I’m tighter’n a bull’s butt in fly time. Why would I pay someone to do something I can do myself, besides that, they’ed probably screw it up and I’d have to do it over anyway! Why would I pay good money for something I can make myself? Pay good money for patches? Seriously? I do actually buy good flannel to make patches though, when I quit wearing something it’s not good enough for patches. I turn lights off when I leave a room, get bread and cookies at day old stores. You buy fresh and keep it overnight it’s day old anyway. How else could I afford all the guns, loading components, equipment, fishing boat, (I bought it used), fishing equipment, two motorcycles, a King Ranch pickup, a Suburban, Toyota Convertible, my wife’s new Escalade, two golf carts, a 50 hp tractor With cab, rear blade, (hydraulic adjust), front bucket, pallet fork, new 8’ finish mower (to mow 3 acres). I could go on and on. It’s all about priorities. If I really want something I find a way to get it, but I don’t spend money foolishly, (there’s sometimes debate on that) or on stuff I really don’t need! (Says who?) Well, maybe once in a while, I probably didn’t need a tractor with a cab, heater and air-conditioning. I could probably hire everything done I do with it cheaper than the interest on the money it cost. Well, no, probably not, not at about 3/4 of one percent interest!
I don’t eat oatmeal! But I do cast bullets, stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once too! Did you know GM upper engine cleaner makes good bore solvent? So does Mercury Marine Quick Silver engine cleaner.
Watch the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves!
It never ends!
