Thread: Auction Night and other ramblings

Mostly new items at the auction and old furniture, mostly over priced junk. Had a lot of candy last night that expired 4 and 6/18. Great price, but I don't buy expired dated items. Had some canned tuna, 2/$1, I bought a case so I could get it for $0.29 per can. I'll use it to bait traps here.
There's a gun show in one of the stores today, can't see paying $8 to get in a small space. I asked if any reloading supplies were there. Nope, so a waste of time for me.
Nope, never been in an outboard engine. Been in a 710 replacing main bearing studs.

Nice! An off, off topic thread now we're getting somewhere round here! whose your bait man cane? that tuna sounds awful pricey fur trappin' critters and such.

Kinda hard to beat .29 for 4 or 5 baits per coon trap. The cheap bait at TSC is $2.25 per trap.
Bait man? Crappie baits, I hit BPS on their spring sale, 12 jigs for $1.49.

This has the potential to be a historic thread !!

Man if some could locate the old school plastic coolers with the thick lids from the 80s and 90s at the auction, I'd be all in . My last one tore up a few months ago . Bought the new version. Thin lid , won't hold ice. Carried it back , researched all the new roto style (or whatever you call them) made a educated purchase. 50qts i think ? Doesn't hold ice Any better than the old coolers , it's ok, but not what I expected. The big problem that I never considered is when I get it full , I need the whole team to get it in the boat . Think I'm gonna return it .

Wonder if anyone would admit to buying the Yeti 5 gallon bucket cooler for $40.00? I mean just because Yeti is on it must work right???

Your doing better than me. I called them a year ago about my yeti 65. The lid is bowed so bad that you can see inside the cooler at the corners. They told me that was normal. I blew a gasket. Ran ice in it everyday for 3 years. Kept ice 1 day longer than my igloo. But on the plus side, I go through 2 coolers a year at $50a pop. Yeti has lasted longer. Pelican is the best that I have found. Just my 2 cents

I'll have to look later today. It's a 35 qt Coleman or Igloo Extreme 7 with a silver body and white lid. I start with a block of ice I freeze fill it with goodies and top off with crushed ice. As the week goes on I take things out and add more. Drain water when needed and add more ice. After a week long trip there is still some of the block left when I get home.
My son has the 45 qt Extreme 5, silver/blue body with white lid. Doesn't hold ice very well.
