Did Someone Say CORE?

[Mercury]

Oh.  I happened to sell a core about the time you posted.  They backed out though.  Soooo i guess i have a core in great condition that is available!

[Metropolicity]

Haha. How much are you asking? I could be in the market for another one.

I paid $40 for it, I would like to get that back out of it.  I cleaned it up pretty good, and the only tool with anything to be said about it is the small screwdriver, it's slightly twisted, but hardly noticeable.   Comes with a nylon sheath.

I wonder if a wee LM Mini could help the coRe leg reach out a bit more

For some reason, I keep thinking about this.

Then was thinking about an exclamation point too, using a Micra perhaps.

Maybe...

Here's the cool thing. I had decided to implement a temporary moratorium on Core purchases for a while (that is unless I see a really good price, of course ), and last night I was digging through the sheath box, getting stuff together for the Mid- Michigan meet up, and I came across these:



I had totally forgot they were in there
So anyway, I have enough for the exclamation point, just don't know if I want to drop half a C-note on a Mini... I'll have to see how the "R" looks with a Micra.

I think you are the only guy here that could forget about 2 Cores 

[colinoutdoors]

Wow TS, how many more Core's do you have stashed away?  .  I will be looking forward to the 'CORE!' picture.  Then if you get say 5 more you could do 'CORE!' with underline  . Oh and of course because there is more that one Core you need to do 'CORE'S!'. .  But what I truly can't wait for is for you to build a house out of them  .

At the rate he's going, that will only be about three weeks from now

Well, it was going to be a surprise, but look for a black oxide underline in the next picture...

  Seems like TS is heading that way Bob.

Looking forward to seeing that TS  .  Why is it when I look at my Core now I feel guilty that its all alone? Is it because across the pond there is a magical place in the Turnhouse homestead where Core's can play together and be well looked after? (ps my Core is well looked after, don't believe a word he say's, he just wants to be with his bro's)

So here's what I'm thinking: Since these were NATO issue, and since one of the first rules of any bureaucracy (especially a multinational one) is "Why buy one when you can get two at twice the price", then there must be a warehouse somewhere with an untold number of Core's waiting to be auctioned one day.

So the idea is not beyond the realm of possibility...

Well, you do know that Core's are meant to live in herds, don't you?

Speaking of NATO issue:





Who all out there has Cores with NATO issue numbers on them?

I know where that is! Remember that scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?

I think I recall Sir David Attenburgh saying that on the BBC 
What is classed as a herd? Just so I know how many more Core's to buy .

More than one, less than...hmmm

What? You mean to say that the Core King Turnsouth and the MT King J-Sews don't have a NATO issue Core between them? I am 

Well gentleman I am amazed. The NATO Issued Core must be rare.

I think so, at least here in the States. I've only seen them in pictures. But someday...

You seem to have an issue friend.         

[turnsouth]

Well, I did it again. I was digging through an old box and found this at the bottom, all dusty and dirty:



Go figure...

Have to wonder what I'll find when I clean the garage Tuesday

I don't know John. I have a feeling that when I'm 80 years old, I'll pull out an old drawer somewhere and find one...

Speaking of which, did you see this: On The Necessity of Change and Decisions
