    Oh man I scored this Christmas and have over 34.76 searching through relatives couch cushions that I needs to spend :)

    Family and friends are so good, they invite you over, feed you and then while their doing the dishes you get to search for loose change in their couches... God life is good.

    Those extra Cheetos are nice too. I found 35 cents in the Dollar General parking lot the other day.
    Saving it for a rainy day.

    I don't know... those Mosins have gone up lately. I hear some guys are asking like 50 bucks for them now! :faint: Indy1919a4 will have to bring his A game when it comes to negotiating. :spend: Of course there is still time to visit more friends and family and dig in their couch cushions.

    I think I'm going to take my change jar to one of those Coin Star machines and cashing in. I'll be fabulously rich after that.

    They charge like 17% for that service.. You can save a little and take it down to the Publix's down in Florida and their machines only charge 10%. May be worth the drive depending on how much change you are talking about.. Not to mention the nicer weather. :)

    I think the one I use at Kroger charged 9%. I may check the one at the credit union. It's not my credit union but it's a shared branching office.

    How large does this gun show tend to be? Trying to figure out if it's worth the drive.

    It's been awhile since I've been to it, but I want to say at least 100 tables maybe? It's small-ish but it I enjoyed it. Maybe someone else might speak up that knows better than me.

    Its a darn good little show, I think I have walked out of there with more guns then any other show. And usually some good ammo.. agreed about 100+ tables. But if I disremember the lighting is kind of dark.. So I am bringing my head flashlight.

    Are you thinking of the Pines show in Seymour? That one's really dark... But I think you should wear your head flashlight just to make a fashion statement. Bonus holiday points if you could make it shine red and green. :)

    No, the Pines is in Seymour, east of town, just south of 50. This is at the county fairgrounds in Columbus.

    Oh Crap. Man DD you saved me about 40 mile extra drive. Plus probably a run in with the police as I knocked wildly on the door wanting someone to let me in.

    And now I know that building.. its a real good show.. Yep no need for a head light now.
