8/6/10

Well, I finally feel adequately armed. OK, I've been adequately “armed” for some time now but... hmm, this isn't coming out the way I want it. My 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 ammo arrived yesterday. That is what I'm trying to say. Mom signed for it and, apparently, didn't read the box. It said, in honkin’ great letters, “Wolf Ammunition, 7.62x39 JHP, 1,000 rounds.” She asked me what was in it. I guess she might not have believed the writing on the box, assuming it to be something shipped in a used box. I'll go with that. Anyhoo, there’s that going on. Unfortunately, the purchase of that ammo, at the first of the month when a bunch of other bills come due, which I knew better than to do but did anyway because I'm a dumb ass, has left me a tad short. Again. It has me thinking about stuff I own that could go up for sale. Of course Barbecue Bob really ought to go away. Perhaps I should put it up on e-Bay. Super Karate-Monkey Death Car is viable as long as we stay where we are, but moving to another shop means it needs to be gone. Herman is virtually worthless except that it has a title. I'm not sure what to do about that. Part of me says, “The title can be used to ‘save’ a title-less vehicle.” whereas another part of me says, “That title will make the car easier to dispose of.” Something tells me that last quote is bad, grammatically. Not that I really care. But I digress. Let’s see, what else is back behind the shop? OK, the 620 truck hulk, the 200SX, and the topless 1200 are are problematic. No titles means we can't just take them to the crusher. I think we’re going to have to call in a “We Haul Off Dead Cars” service and pay to have them removed. The 300ZX needs to go back to Jerry at All Z sometime. Roger needs to poop or get out of the Ganges about the BMW. Kevin needs to do the same with the Volvo. John has his 620 truck he’ll need to contend with eventually. Wait, was this about moving or having a “Fire Sale” to bail me out? I think I lost track back there. The Honduh N600 inside probably won't fetch much in the state it is in. Besides, it doesn't take up much room so I might consider it a “keeper.” So, it appears that of the superfluous cars, Barbecue Bob and Super Karate-Monkey Death Car are my “sellers.” Wow, there’s about $500.00, if I'm lucky. Hmm, I guess now is the time to consider gun sales. I've been thinking for some time that I ought to trade the Judge (with its 2.5” chamber) in on a Magnum Judge (with a 3” chamber) so I can justify all that 3” .410 ammo I have. I suppose I could go ahead and sell my Judge and then save up for a replacement Magnum Judge later. This is most likely what I'm going to do sometime this weekend. Of course, I could probably get the most money if I were to sell the two Beretta Storms. They are both a little superfluous. I never carry the pistol because it is so much bigger and bulkier than Kurt Corto and the rifle has been superseded by the 7.62x39 Saiga. Hmm, I'd have better luck selling them at a gun show than trying to sell them to Blood Bath & Beyond though. No, I think the logical thing to do is sacrifice the Judge and plan to get a Magnum Judge in the near future. Of course all this comes after begging John for money earlier today. Well, I guess that’s about all I have for today. I'll probably have something more on Monday.
