DEALS

I went to the Doc yesterday, he said everything went perfect and I could do anything I wanted to and to come back in 6 months.With this heart attack costing way over $100,000.00, think God I had insurance, or I might have been on Americas Most Wanted trying to get some money to pay all these bills off. What matters most is I'm back better than I was before all this happened, I feel 15 years younger, I'm running around like a chicken with his head cut off, not knowing what to do with all this energy I have now and still have not smoked, life is good.
 I did learn one thing today, I still can't go shopping, I'm a sucker for deals, I need one of them 12 step programs for my deal addiction, I went to Harbor Freight today and went crazy in there, I wasn't happy the first time I went today, hell no I had to get online when I got home and find more deals so I had to go back and buy some more things that I can add to my other deals that I have no use for. They say Harbor Freight stuff is junk and won't last past the first time you use it, not me I still have deals that I bought a couple of years ago that are as good as when I bought them ,because they ain't never been used. They had a 400 watt inverter on sale for $19.95 and a 750 watt one for $49.00 now those were such good deals I bought both of them and for $9.00 more I got a 2 year warranty on that 750 watt inverter so no matter what I do to it I can get a brand new for free if it breaks, so now if I knock it off where ever I lay it in the next 2 years I can get a new for free, what a deal. They had a volt meter on sale for $3.99, bought it to go with the other one I bought for $3.99 last year. I don't know why them deals just reach out and grab me like they do but they do. The bad thing is, where we live I have Northern Tool and Harbor Freight real close by, so close I can hear them calling me at times,"Jim,We Have Deals" and off I go. I will save so much money when I move out to the place in Terlingua not having anything close by with deals. Speaking of which I need to head out that way before long and take my solar panels that I got a deal on a while back, they have been setting in the hall here ever since I bought them.
Think I'll go sit and look at my deals for awhile before I put them away, I might think of something else I need.

  1. Jim....I'm the same way with HF flyers and Northern Tool...luckily I just circle the items on the flyers and have no down time to go buy the crap..(most of the time). HF has better prices, but NT has cleaner, less crowded stores...and their sales are like 5% off reg price. I have stacks of un opened stuff from HF...but I'll need it at the cabin...someday?

  2. I guess you got more insurance than just Medicare, which is all I have and it don't pay pay it all. Sure glad you are doing so good. I wish I could feel a little younger.

  3. I read your post and thought, "Oh my gawd! Buying all that Harbor Freight stuff sounds just like Bigfoot!" Then I get to the comments and see that he recognized himself and already commented. LOL. We have stuff in boxes around here that we forget we have!

  4. Jim, if it weren't for me chasing a damn paycheck we'd be out there now. But it looks like October and hopefully we'll be there for a few weeks. My project will be finished by then and my employer wants me to go to Denver for another apt job, but I ain't going, even tho the $$ is good.

    Hope to run into you sometime down there...our place is a couple miles from The Legion...FYI
