Ramblings of a drunk cowboy

You may have noticed I have added some links to the Blog for your convenience. Here are some thoughts I have on two of them:


Gunbroker.com


First is Gunbroker.com. I like Gunbroker.com. I have purchased several guns through there connections. I also use there site regularly to get a feel for price and availability on virtually any gun. At least every time I've looked up a gun, I found a reference to it. They even have antique firearms and firearm accessories. Basically, it is an auction. You have to register to bid and then after bidding, if you are awarded the bid, meaning,you are the high bidder, then you contact the seller and make payment and shipment arrangements. Generally, first thing is to pay the seller. If it is a firearm, they have to ship it to federally licensed firearm's dealer. Note that you will have to pass a NCIC (National Crime Information Center)background check, when picking up the firearm at your local dealer. Anything other than firearms can be shipped directly to your door. It is a handy service because it gives a nationwide marketplace to anyone that chooses to shop for a gun in their underwear, from home. Besides, they look at you funny in Sporting Goods store, if your only wearing your underwear.

But with everything there is a draw back, and Gunbroker is no exception. The thing you want to keep in mind here, despite the name of Gunbroker, is they are not a "broker". Far from one; Gunbroker is basically a classified listing service for auctions online. Therefore, you need to use the same discretion and caution that you would normally use when contacting someone from a classified listing online, or in a paper. Gunbroker is not going to assume liability, if you are defrauded. Do not assume merely because a dealer has a listing that they are in anyway guaranteed reliable or honest. Most, will do what they say. The only suggestion I have here; is to do some research before bidding. For example, you can look up information online about a dealer. You can also look them up in the Yellowpages online to see if they actually exist. and there not just a scammer in a foreign country, or living in their parent's basement posing as a dealer. The most effective first clue I use is the rating system on Gunbroker. Also, check the number of sales they have had on Gunbroker, as well as how long they have been selling from there.

So, there you go that is what I know about Gunbroker.com and if I am wrong, I will never admit it.



Gold and Silver

The other link I wanted to discuss is Kitco.com. There link is accessed by clicking on either the gold or silver real time price indexes, on the top, right sidebar. I haven't bought or sold PMs with this company. So, if anyone out there has any experience with them, please share it. Personally, I would be able to give them a try because they are in bed with ICMJ which is a mining journal that I rely on, for certain business. Their on the ball and on the money.So, I figure birds of a feather flock together.

The one thing that I could suggest with buying gold or silver and any PMs anywhere is to make sure you get possession of the metal. Some offer a free storage, they will store your metal then you can trade and avoid the shipping costs. But to me, I cannot see how that would make the risk worth while. Obviously, if a collapse occurs, you will want to have the metal in your hand for barter. Your junk silver dollar could buy you a canned ham or enough fuel to cart your ass to a safer place. Besides, a lot of these places will have offers for free shipping, so there is really no excuse. Keep your PMs where they belong, in your hands. Don't be a sucker. If God had meant for you to get bent, you'd been born with knee pads.


OIL
Please note the oil price real time chart. It's just below the gold and silver chart. To compare the changes of each is interesting. I dont know that I will go out on a limb today, but gold is very likely to start a steady climb up. When this happens their will be no return. The recent rise and flutter then the oil fluctuation coupled with a drop in the dollar, suggests we may be approaching the stair case for gold. When the golden ship sales it will not return for a long-long time. I just hope were all on board for the ride!

And another thing; If your sitting on a large stash of cash, your a dumb ass! By metal and sit on that, The dollar is doomed! If it survives and that's a big IF, it wont be worth squat! On the flip side, with gold the only way you can loose money is if the dollar goes UP, Get real, the dollar is going somewhere but it sure as hell aint up! Dump your cash!




On a survival note, I saw an article at Lamb's blog;waiting on the other shoe, about Lemon juice, I had no Idea it had so many uses, from degrease to air freshener, and so much in between.

WD-40

Every survivalist should have a case of this.

THE BIRTH OF WD-40

and its many uses:



Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust
preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some of the uses:

18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

38) The favourite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. "

I use it to spray guns for short term storage- I some times spray down guns, before putting them in a case, or holster for travel. Especially, when I plan to leave them in the truck for a while. 

Happy Trails!
