Gub'mint checks!

[patience0830]

Before I filed my taxes, I had planned to buy four new tires and replace the windshield in my '89 suburban due to rock chips in the windshield and tires of unknown age that were on it when I bought it six years ago. I owed more than I am getting in the stimulus check so I had put those plans on hold. If and when I get my check, those are the items on my list. I will be supporting a local glass shop and a local tire dealer...not Walmart or a chain store.

Hey! Walmart writes my paycheck!

And truth be told, a lot of other paychecks in any community they have a store in. No knock on other small businesses but just because they're big does not mean they're heartless or evil.

We have some finish work left on the house. Paint and stain, some trim work , board and batten replacement on the outside of the mudroom. Little stuff necessary to Momma's nesting. Oh, and a new bbl, gas block and tube for my .308 DPMS Oracle.

I didn't blow all of it yet, but I bought a RoadShower for my 4runner.

I made a seriously good living running a 5 state area servicing the in building automation/refrigeration/HVAC systems. A few penus managers but for the most part it was very interesting. Very interesting.

Ruger 10/22 carbine with wood stock (just like God and Bill Ruger intended!!) Never owned one, Ruger has made over 5 million of them. There's probably a reason for that.

Nothing like uncle sam subsidizing a benelli M4 for you.

The only way I could ever justify paying that much for a shotgun, but I will say it's absolutely worth it if you can afford it.

I owed on taxes both federal and state this year, so I just gave some back to the fed. Just been buying parts and ammo for current guns.

Tell me about it. I worked there at store 1518, 86th and Michigan. I was sent to Electronics (was a photo lab guy but they needed help there) I got a weird check I thought was bogus. What in the Sam Hill is a Fifth Third?!?!? That cant be a real name. So I called for a manager override. (It was also over $250) Jackwagon Assistant shows up, looks at it, and I didnt notice he didnt initial it because he forgot to; somebody asked him a question. It was also Christmas season so we were really busy.

Three weeks later I was called into the office and fired for failing to get management approval on that check. It bounced. I said that the manager approved it. (cant remember his name, but he had two first names... Michael David? ..... I think that was it. ) Anyway that smarmy bastard threw me under the bus by claiming he wasnt called to approve it when he actually did. Afterward the lady working the other register that day told management that she saw him approve it, but they wouldnt believe her. She also remembered the funny name. (5/3 had just hit town that month)

In theory I can never work for them again. Though that was 1993, so I wonder if I applied if they would even know?

Ours is going into savings until this blows over. If we have to dip into it, we will. HOpefully we can pay off some debts.

I felt that the small local guy could use my support far more than Wal-Mart in the current situation. We have a guy that has an independent shop in town that has always treated me very well. My elderly neighbor that I helped before she passed took her car there to be serviced. When I was taking it for her toward the end of her life, he often did things at no charge if it was a minor repair. I was going to go to our local Goodyear shop, but they just changed over to something else and no longer carries a brand of tires I would want to buy.

$200 went back to .gov for a stamp on an SBR build. I used approx. $1000 to top off my emergency fund. The rest went into my house down payment fund.

 

[indykid]

Got check from feds, wrote check to the county to pay my current property rent... I mean property tax. Still came out behind.

Hookers and blow!




Seriously, tho, a new scope for my T1 then maybe a Form 1 suppressor either for the T1 or my yote rig. What's left will get salted away for future use.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

We’ve got property taxes, homeowners insurance, and license plates all coming due about this time. Not that we couldn’t have paid it all without it but it certainly came at a good time.

 

[Thor]

Check? What check, ain't getting no stinkin' check.

 

[frenchiectfd2203]

Invested in stocks while the prices are good.

 

[Lost Californian]

Gun.
Magazines.
Scope.
Pizza.
Ice cream.
Tree removal.
I was stimulated, so I am stimulating with these Trump-bux.

Sweetie hasn't decided what to do with hers yet.

 

[snorko]

Check? What check, ain't getting no stinkin' check.

Same boat.

 

[bmbutch]

Mostly savings, did order a Dillon Roller Handle, and spare parts kit for 550.

I miss that kind of service from someone that you may eventually call a friend. Just so rare here in the city as way too many a$$hats would run you over to their advantage,.

Still waiting for mine to show up.

Yeah same here. Well I'm not waiting but I haven't gotten one. If It comes it comes.
