BillZ260 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Yeah, a couple of weeks ago I we pulled in to "this is the last one I swear" sale and low and behold there is a Z in the drive...with a 377!!!. He had a set of square port shorty headers for 40 bucks a JTR set up that he made for 35 and he gave me his old hood latch relocater, he switched to hood pins. What are the odds.

Guest Aaron Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 O.k., school me. What is a climbing deer stand? It is an aparatus for climbing a tree and supporting you while deer hunting. Something similar to this. http://www.angelfire.com/sc/huntingstands/climb4.html No I'm not a hunter (no patience), but I have a lot of friends and family that is. Back to our topic. You can also find some interesting things at you local "Trade Day" (or "Flea Market" around here). You never know what you are going to find or get. Some stuff is counterfeit, some is stolen, so buyer beware, but it is often fun to go look. At my local ones, I can usually find Craftsman, MAC, and Snap-On hand tools pretty cheap. It doesn't matter the condition, if you break it, you can have it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 climbing tree stand a device that allows 250lbs guys to sit in trees like a squirrel while waiting for really stupid deer to walk by, allowing large old bored guys to process them into venison thru the use of a bow or handgun and hours of hard work! usually the process involves paying for licences and feeding clouds of mosquetos or freezing and getting rained on, its called "HUNTING" by some or "SUPPORTING ALL THE LOCAL SPORTING GOODS STORES AND MAIL ORDER HUNTING CATALOGS" bye my WIFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I know a few people that actually sound like that. Should I be telling you this? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
