funny stuff.

I needed a laugh right about now, (after realizing I just screwed up my buddies brand new Airhawk), and now I gotta pay to fix it.
No doubt it's gonna cost more to send it to mike and have him fix it,... than my buddy paid for it in the first place !

so tell me, when you guys screw up on something, does it make you feel,...
DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS too ?

Get another rifle, so I can shoot more, so I can buy more pellets, so I can have for pellet tin ornaments for the Christmas /Mardi Gras/Easter Tree.

If you use tools and tinker there will be such occasions

If I had unlimited funds I'd put you all to shame!

I'd have a house totally dedicated to hobbies, with just a bed, bathroom, microwave, and fridge. The rest would be rooms set up for a specific hobby in each one. Airguns, PBs, scale models, photography, scale trains. astronomy, computers...the list could be endless because I am sure there are hobbies yet to be discovered. Too bad it takes that cursed green stuff, and a lot of it, to realize dreams. Oh well... $:-\$

Buy a gun cabinet? nah I made my own gun rack in shop class

And you start gathering special tools and machinery so you can work on your airguns. Start reading machinist publications and forums.

Between steps 10 and 11. Brought along 3 brothers, 2 nephews, 1 grand niece and only son. I'm like the typhoid Mary of airguns.

Step 16. Wake up in the middle of night and purchase a Airgun or Scope

Wheelchair Bob · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2014, 03:27:24 PM »

I made it to step 10 in only three weeks. Does that mean there is no hope for me at all? I hate it when folks put stuff like this up and pin me so well. An I thought I was "different". "dang"......

I just added up what I spent this month on ARs, scope, and lots of pellets. I'm broke

PA is having the "free shipping sale" for purchases over $150. I now have 25,000 pellets most of which I've bought this month. Clearly I need help

The good news-if I have $600 in pellets it would be $3000+for Wolf/SK .22LR if you could find them and what I don't shoot my son and granddaughter will inherit

You guys rock! I will update the flow chart with your suggestions. Speaking of screwing up things, when I screw up something, I usually start working faster to try and fix it which usually causes me to screw up a couple more things, making whatever I was trying to fix now totally unuseable!

Well, 1/2 the battle is acknowledging the screw up ... learning from it and moving along with task at hand.
My Signature line spells out my feelings on that one .... O'what an experience life is at times
