It's ten degrees outside with thirty mile per hour winds (gusting to forty).   It's times like this when I tend to ponder things....a dangerous endeavor at times.  At any rate, I noticed I have seven shootable bows hanging in my bow room (cellar).  I calculated the cost of all seven and came to a total of $561.72.  I know....I'm just an extravagant galoot 8^).

I noticed a few other things:  The only blackberries I have are in quart bags in the freezer, with some wild bushes growing along the neighbor's fence.

My laptop holds a peanut butter sandwhich as I type a few words on this thread; it's real handy though as I can simply reach to my lap and pick up the sandwich.  Too bad you can't have a laptop when standing.

My only B.W., is in a state of repair...the glass has just a slight crack in it though so it may make the winter okay. It is a broken window in the cellar (bow room) so it isn't all that bad.

My only E.F.O.C. is down to just a F.O.C. since I started rationing myself with the peanut butter sandwiches that I hold on my laptop. I only allow myself one per day.

My only Single Bevel is a wood chisel hanging on a nail above the work bench in my bow room (cellar).  It serves many purposes from cutting an arrow shelf, to peeling paint from an old riser.

Most of the carbon I have  is emitted through the chimney, or my Silverado's tailpipe, although I do seem to have some on the inside of my furnace fire door.

There are no sleeping indians, whisker biscuits, or designer camoflauged wool coats.  No bow bolts, turbulators or even difibrulators.  There are lots of arrow shards and feather fronds lying around in my cellar (bow room).

Even in my depths of poverty, I can see a light through the dimly lit confines of my bow room (cellar).  It's the big air space at the bottom of the door...allowing for the cfc's to escape and the extreme cold to come in.  Alas it is a veritable paradise, surrounded by arrow shards and feather fronds....Fletchtite and Duco....Mink Oil and Acetone.  Just like Heaven, I suspect 8^).

That bowroom sounds like a nice place to be on a cold, windy winters day. A man can do a lot of thinking and reminiscing  in a place like that. Have a great day George.

Love my Zipper with Carbon and Foam limbs, flush toilets and tapered carbon shafts. I don't have to shoot only 125 grains field points anymore and I have more fun shooting then ever. My lighter weight bows shoot better then the old heavyweights I was told by the "Oldtimers" I had to shoot when I began. Those single bevel broadheads didn't kill anything this year, but I didn't shoot at anything either.  When the wind gusts here, I see and hear the stress it puts on the critters outside. When the wind blows on PowWow, I just thank my lucky stars that I don't HAVE to eat government peanut butter and cheese anymore, and can have Jiffy if I want to. Just ruminatin'  

I have at least one of everything you posted, and couldn't imagine living without any of them...

Good for you George!

I often wonder how my life would be different without the technology and gadgetry, then I realize I couldn't get any happier then I am now and thank the good Lord above for my blessings...

I'd sure like to put you and my Grandpa in the same room and sip coffee while you two talk...

Thats a shame pal.Change can be good and sometimes you even come upon new ideas through change, discoveries if you will.If we all stayed in the same place doing the same thing the world would be a boring place.

Some of you folks are missing the entire meaning.  It's not about change...think.  It's about being comfortable with who you are, and happy with where you are. It isn't chastising anyone elses choices.  For Heaven's sake.

 
Now THAT was relaxing!

I love the way you think George! I'm 37, but the older I get the more I enjoy the simple thing's. I'm rich, but it has nothing to do with money! Jason

Thanks Killy....synapse shorted-out I suspect 8^).
