What have you done to prep this week?

[orangetom1999]

OT, Don't run the microwave more than 10-15 seconds. A little honey mixed in it would be very nice.

The more I think about it ..Honey...seems like a natural to go with many things...even medicines.

Thanks,

It's good mixed with some lemon and a glass of tea. Very soothing for a sore throat.

Hmmmmmm......Wow!!

I've not considered that as well. I like some lemon concentrate juice in a glass of ice...and then add some water....I like it in that manner. I'd not considered adding Honey ...and yet I have honey aplenty around here.


Thanks for making me aware of that concept Backpacker.

I stopped at a Good Will store in Scottsboro on my way down to AL. I found a triple dome tent, a large 14x14 main dome, with 2 smaller 10x10 domes joined on either side of the large one that could be put all together, or seperately to make 3 tents. It didn’t have a price, so I took it up front and asked how much. I was expecting to hear $60-80. When she said “would you pay $10?” I said yes I would! I looks like it’s only been used maybe once.

I find asking them if they'd accept "X" amount of $$$$ to be best at the donation type sales >>>>> and make it reasonable to low ....

He shoots, he SCORES! DOME with the hat trick!

To give you a scale on how well you did, WM 12 person 20'x10' footprint roughly as you describe, but with a 10'x10' core and two 5'x10' non-detachable wings, goes for $199 new.
You got just about twice the footprint, and extra versatility for about 5% of the cost. Even at the expected $70, you were STILL way ahead.

WELL DONE, SIR!

OH, and as to prep... got half a dozen of Coleman's answer to the P-51/FRED can opener.Looks much like the Aussie FRED.

Usually, when you have the customer name their price, it is way more than what the salesman would have said. I picked up on that in my years of retail sales.

Tom,

Winchester, with their M-22 rounds, uses a blackish hard copper for their plating. Are your .452's similarly plated?
