No more toys for me

Long story short, broke my ski gear, now I need new ones.

Even cheapest will be close to a grand, that's a lot of MT/knife/light!

So yeah, no more toys for quite a while.

Bummer.

Can't you buy a new MT to fix the ski gear?

Welcome to the club......
I am Donald I am a multitoolcoholic, I haven't bought a multitool for more than 6 months now.
The first 2 months is the hardest, when you crave to buy one..... luckly my wife and my extended family helped me..... They hid all my credit cards and limited my internet use............... I know its not a question of if I will slip back again, its a question of when I will slip back........ but I am not scared I know I am not alone.

You can still do trades though can't you? When I thought I was going to lose my job last year, that's what I did for a while. It meant you get to try out new cool stuff, but for the price of postage!

jzmtl · **Reply #8 on:** February 19, 2009, 02:09:40 AM

Yeah, but I'm afraid I don't have much to trade.

Oh well, it's going to happen soon or later anyway, might as well happen now when skis are on sale instead of beginning of winter when things are full retail, and even more expensive after inflation.

It kinda sucks that I'm not a beginner, or I could've bought beginner's gear for perhaps $400. But no, I'm actually decent at something for once.

Lol.

Well I hope you get yourself a good deal and can at least get a Micra or a SAK or something after

That's what I have been doing recently. Run out of stuff now though.

I'd give up skiing- much less painful!

I've pawned or given away most of my stuff.

Heh, it's the only thing that keeps me in shape in winter, I reckon it's cheaper to buy them now instead of try to lose weight later on!

Speaking of which, you've lived here long enough to be good at it no? Gimme a shout next time you are here in winter and we'll meet on Bromont, or Tremblant.
