Are we related??? I did the same thing. One of those "deals" I couldn't pass up. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

You should really take care of that and clean it once in awhile. I believe I see some grass lint on the front of the mower deck. I’d be ashamed.  | |||

The closest me or that Jeep ever got to fish or fishing is Mastro's Ocean Club ($$$$) in Scottsdale! I just liked the Gloomis logo. I may have had a Pocket Fisherman® at sometime in the distant path though. ________________________________________________________ The trouble with trouble is; it always starts out as fun. | |||

My most frivolous was likely international business class tickets. It was nice but I could have gotten to the same destinations in coach for less than half the price. | |||

I told this story at the time it happened, a bit over a year ago. Briefly: My trusty TrailBlazer was going to need replacement. Decided to look at Jeep Grand Cherokees. This one happened along just at the right time.  What made it frivolous is this   "America is at that awkward stage.

I am a cheap accumulator so the list would be long but unimpressive, but unique. About a year ago one weekend I bought a cotton bore mop for a 37/40 mm grenade launcher, a pack of chinese Hell money for ancestors, a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel bottled on 6/16/16, and a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel bottled from barrel no. 666. For some years I have had a package of Tiger brand Poolle (Pu-Le) rice noodles from Taiwan. It just looked cool. Probably the nicest friv purchases are a Fairborn Sykes repro dagger, some Beretta knives, an Iron Cross (which I cannot now find), and an HP 48G calculator. And maybe a dozen or two guns. Guess that iz why the OP is eating Wagyu and I am eating corned beef. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

I'll give you $150 for him right now, cash money.... ...yeah, didn't think so.  ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

Local beer store closed and I bought their kegerator. Now that I don’t drink nearly as much and almost never entertain guests, not sure I’ll get any use from it. $300 of frivolity. | |||

I bought a Fiskars hatchet last year, mostly because a hardware store was going out of business. Last week I finally used it processing a deer. It worked great. So instead of keeping it and using it again, whenever that may be, 1, 2, 8 years from now lol... I bought a Granfors Bruks hand hatchet. You know, because that makes sense. This week I bought a $200 knife and a $650 rifle I sure as hell didn't need. Did some quick math today and realize I squandered about $1200 on things I don't need over the last three weeks. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

In anticipation for games like Anthem, I spec’ed out a $5800 computer from Origin PC. With the latest nVidia GeForce card, the $1200 11GB RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, it should last me for several years.

^^^ Thanks for that. Makes me feel better about buying an Xbox one just for RDR 2. That must be one hell of a machine (I know absolutely nothing about gaming PCs). A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

Bought when GWB was in office and gun prices were reasonable: Arsenal SAM 7R, AK47 and a Springfield M1A, both used but in mint condition. I haven't fired either one. I felt they needed to be rescued and given a good home.. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

That's Greg, and that's not his first Ferrari. Which was the frivolous one? _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||
