I will say that if, say, a Singer prototype came on the market, there would be people who paid that for it.

But check the "I need one of these like a hole in the head" thread... and see the whole story.

Classic. Someone paid way too much. But, then again, we have ours... and didn't!

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[pmclaine]

Is it too much?

Time will tell.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

^^^ $10K... is too much for you and me, buddy! But seemed like a pretty good deal at $1250!

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[TheGerman]

Shit, 1250 I'd buy one too.

 

[pmclaine]

I think I hit "buy" when they were $1995.00.

Pondering a trip to a friends farm in western MA.

Its about 1000 acres of land.

Going to try and break my son from mommas apron strings and get set up in the woods with tent, fire and a water source.

Do some instruction on water filtration, fire lighting, cooking coffee and mac and cheese on a squad stove, proper way to shit in the woods so you dont get skank ass, and general field hygiene.

He can pack his Winchester Boys rifle .22. Ill hump My M40A1ish and the M45A1.

Bought a photo/topo map of the land and it should offer some good chances to read terrain



Im sure something will screw it up so "baby" cant come.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

^^^ Bring a waterfowl stamp... good goose-hunting there.

Cheers,

Sirhr

 

[pmclaine]

No geese there.

Its on the top of a mountain betwixt Whitcomb Summit in the east and Hairpin Turn in the west with Route 2 being the north boundary. White Brook and Cold River to the South.

Just up the hill from Yankee Atomic that used to power your kingdom.

Lots of turkey, it is where they were reintroduced to MA, a few roaming bear, the ever present deer, and coyotes that I hope howl all night.

There was a beaver we have no idea how he made it into the farm pond but he had an unfortunate run in with a snubby .38 before he could ruin the water for the farm animals
