Spydie budget...

[AllenETreat]

To : ALL

An average of $100 monthly ( now ) but it's bound to worsen! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
So many Spydies, So little money! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I need to set aside money for knives, but I don't. I wait till it's something I really want, then sell knives to buy knives. It is a tough cycle. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Hmmm... skydiving.. maybe this will shake the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> senses out of me.. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Samo,

I don't know which he likes better, SCUBA or Sky diving. Any vacations usually revolve around one or the other, or both if he can swing it! He won't be doing either for quite a while now though. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Java, have you ever been to San Carlos in Sonora?

I'm about one step shy of destroying my credit rating.

My wife threatened that if I buy one more <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, she will leave me.


I'm sure going to miss her!!!!!!<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Big Target:
Dude, it's even worse when your wife is a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>nut! To make matters worse, she encourages me to go take a scuba trip or golf vacation somewhere. Can you say, "Hello Chapter 13. Sure. I knew you could."

Linda:
Never been. I've been to Punta Banda and wanted to hit Bahia de Concepcion on the Baja but no luck yet. Looked good from the web pix! Tell me more!!


Stay safe! Stay sharp! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Java,

I've been to Cabo San Lucas on the Baja and the diving was great. San Carlos is about a 10 hour drive from here. Club Med Sonora Bay is there. It's not the caliber of Truk Lagoon, but it's not bad either and a lot better than Balmorea. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Linda,

And here I had my heart set on Balmorea Springs! I'm crushed. Maybe I can catch a good day at the Flower Gardens. Hey! To make sure this stays somewhat <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>ly, have you ever had a chance to use the Probe or Mini Probe??? Heard it was a well designed tool for abalone. Saw one on e-bay last month and missed my chance there. (Exceeded my monthly <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> allowance.) How's that for a less than smooth segue back to the topic at hand? Thanks mucho for your super work on the Engraved Endelicas! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Stay safe! Stay sharp! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[Sword and Shield]

Thanks to University book prices, I rarely have enough $$$ to buy any new <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s. I am thus reduced to sharpening inferior knives, just to keep up proficiency.

Anybody else ever try to shave with a credit card? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[yog]

I try not to think about it, the answer might frighten me <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

A couple months at a time nothing, other times quite a bit. Unfortunately I've taken to fancying the discontinued and special Spydies. I'd say on average $100 / $150.

Walk softly, carry a big stick.

[dialex]

I have such a small salary that I'm ashamed to say it here <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

[jkc59]

You can get it,
on your good credit.

The end of each month is usually an eye opener for me!!!

"My knives are sharper than I am..."

[glasshartt]

Java,

I saw the probes (both sizes) on ebay, I was tempted, but with the pay cut from Shawn's being activated, they were both way out of my price range. I was drooling over them though. Thank goodness for those ultra thin keyboard covers. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I don't usually dive any near where Abs are though. I've been spoiled, the Flower Gardens are too cold for me. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

the last time I bought a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>,with cash was thew last time I was in AC(Atlantic City). I won $200.00 and went to a knife store that sold <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>S(FYI, he's now discontinuing selling them!!<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ). After buying them I went snuck back to Ceasars. My wife ask me if I won any money. And I answered ,honestly, that i won $200.00 and just lost it all!!!

I was honest. Wasn't I?????<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Sounds like a good "deal" there Big T! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Thanks Samo,

You had to start this!!?? I honestly didn't know so in the process of trying to find out, I've gone broke "saving" so much money! So far the tally for May is:
3 Jester Set (SN 013)
1 Micarta Jester
2 Laguioles (SE and PE)
4 CoPilots
1 Rescue Abalone Necklace Knife
1 Jess Horn Jigged Bone (SN 365)
1 SE Shabaria
1 Dyad
3 Glasshart Endelica Specials

Not to mention a Delta Z 360 Pivot Knife and pending Gunting drone & live versions later this month.

Everything is right around $1K but the month is early and I've still got the Gun and Knife Show here on the 25th and 26th. Curiousity obliterated my budget (what budget)!!!! Now I understand why my wife made the habenero jerked chicken yesyerday. She needed the insurance money to both stop me and pay for my "habit". This is perhaps one of the more virulent strains of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>emic fever. Is there a vaccine??? Can it be cured??? I need help!!! Stop me before I buy again!

Stay safe! Stay sharp!

[JBE]

Whatever monies my wife allows me to spend after the bills...lol...Of course this is the same wife that gave me a Milie as a gift so she isnt that bad..lol

[KBR]

I'm on the same boat with jaxon, I'm not disciplined in setting aside a budget When I decide which will be my next Spydie, I just go out and get it!

P.S.-My wife gave up trying to understand my addiction to the Spyder.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Survive, Adapt, and Overcome...

[sam the man..]

Hey Java! The Jess Horn jigged bone is one of the most expensive Spydie ever made!! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Most of your knives are definite classics! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Samo, my main man,

I was shocked when I won it on e-bay today. Seller was asking $375 for a Buy-It-Now price and bidding was at $200. Wife agreed we could maybe bid $300 and then make an offer after bidding closed. I put the bid in at the last second and it went for $230. I was in a daze for about 4 hours - total disbelief! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Dude, you should be receiving a package sometime this week. Keep your eyes peeled. Glasshart recommended Sipidan. I'm leaning toward that or anywhere on the Andaman Sea. KL is definitely in the plan as well! If I can get over this terrible <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>emic fever, I can start saving for the journey.
