What are you doing right now

[Reciprocity]

Watching the news and seeing the the Feds are raising taxes on a carton of smokes by $4.00 as part of their new budget First decent things these clowns have done since taking office.

I don't know how much a pack of smokes costs here now as I quit over 4 years ago. When I quit, the cheapest I could get them (legally) was $12.50/pack, They gotta be around $16.00 or maybe $18.00 a pack by now I would guess. Still not as expensive as in Australia but we're getting there

G’day 

At the current exchange rate that equates to roughly $20 a pack Australian. $1.00 each They were that price when I quit 5 plus years ago.

They are worth $1.80 each cig .. wow.  Now that’s $36 a packet. $252 a week and $1000 a month. That sorta money goes a long way to paying off a house. 

Mind blowing. And they aren’t getting cheaper either,  the price rise is automatic each year.

It IS amazing what a nicotine addict will sacrifice to ensure they always have some smokes!

I remember saying to myself I'd quit once a pack hit $5.00 Obviously that didn't happen. Went way past $10/pack before I started thinking about it.

Watching Forged in Fire and thought of a great idea for the competitors to have to make so I emailed the History channel and told them about it

Damn edibles

I don't know how any Australian,s can afford to smoke ...that's a massive chunk of your hard earned cash ..

Looking for an excuse and a destination for a short road trip this weekend.  We'll be going down to Florida in ten days, but I just picked up my new truck this afternoon and want to get some road miles on it.

 

The first accessory I put in the new truck: a brand new car seat.  The little gal can ride in style and comfort.

Very nice @Boo, I would guess you can pretty much go anywhere you want with it

Day trip planned.  Heading over to Tellico Plains tomorrow.  Do a bit of a road test on the Cherohala Skyway.  Head over to Bald River Falls.  Maddie and Cash can play in the woods.  Sugar Britches can do a bit of photography.  Papa Boo might even catch a few trout.

 

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'...

Overcast sky.  With the exception of an occasional breeze, not much wind to speak of.  Had a big stonefly hatch.  The browns were really biting my little yellow sally fly...It was a good day.

Did I mention that I have a nine-foot rod?

 

I know how to get Doreen interested in fishing talk.
