That's a lot of money!

Literally, 45 days working as Waiter in Iran. More or less, depends on where you're working.

Yep, for some reason rifle scope prices seem to get changed a lot from day to day. Highest I've seen this particualr scope go for is $900USD, lowest $600. And the price seems to just change randomly. I just happened to catch it low again yesterday and today it is back up another $100 at the same place, go figure.

What brand is it? In my hunting days in the 90s, I had a .243 Winchester Model 70 with a Leupold, and a .280 Remington Mountain Rifle with a Burris. There are lots of good ones out there.

It's a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25X-56mm. Going onto a .22LR target rifle I will be using to compete in NRL22 matches. Most of my other rifles have Leupold scopes, but I liked the features of this Vortex for the price range. Gets mostly good reviews for what I will be using it for.
 
I had that with the knobs on my Gibson guitar. I ordered them and it too 18 months for them to arrive.
A couple of months ago I talked to Aircraft Spruce about some spar stock for one of my restorations....maybe as much as 30 month lead time for the size I was looking for.
 
Looks at this news! More Trees! It's Horrible!

"The treeline is out of control': how the climate crisis is turning the Arctic green."
"In northern Norway, trees are rapidly taking over the tundra and threatening an ancient way of life that depends on snow and ice."

Not only that, but trees are made out of Carbon! Soon there will be a Carbon Shortage!

I don't find that so funny actually.
 
I do. Climate change is a dynamic process. Tree lines have moved up and down for centuries. Recent melt backs in Scandanavia have revealed ancient trade routes that have been covered in ice for centuries. Same in Greenland, where Viking settlements abandoned in the 15th century have been uncovered. The only thing more fascinating than these revelstions of the ebb and flow of climate change is the ability of terrestrial life forms to adapt.
