Jack,
This has the same ring to it as my deer hunting expenses. By the time you add
one slightly used 4wheel Dr. truck- say $20,000 a decent rifle and a couple
of boxes of shels, about $500. decent cold weather, camo clothes- $350.-
hunting license - $50 to $100. knives, boots, travel, meals, guides etc. At
that rate, about 100 lbs of good venison runs about Hmmm!!! looks pretty
close to $200. per pound.
But hey, you can pull the race car with the truck, trade the gun for some
good tires and tear up the clothes for grease rags. <:o)> Grin
