Just sitting here and going over what I need to stay current. And one of those things is the signaling devises (flares) on the boat. They are not expired but it's getting close. So I am looking at what everybody has. I know I need some fresh 12g flares. And it is blowing me away, what we are paying, for what we are getting. Same with the handheld flares. Why are we all spending $35 average for a 4 pack of 3 minute sparklers? Can we as a group figure out a way to make this right? I find that us west coasters can buy better for less starting the week before fourth of July. And let me tell you, I live in Oregon where the fireworks just flat out suck. Not like the ones from the 7-11 in Tucson. Car flares are only a couple bucks and last for 30 minutes. Sure they don't have a piece of PVC for a handle, but still.
It really makes me wonder, with all the flares we have all bought and they are just sitting there outdated. I think Orion owes each of us a steak dinner for all the times they have bent us over. And not even a light kiss on the ear.
Maybe they should have to buy them back from us and recycle them.
Rant over. Great evening to all.
