  1. Ah Commander Zero is going to be a “Fixer” in the Grey Market 🙂 as in “I know a fella” style fixer. Opens trench coat to reveal wide mouth lids AND Rings asking what do YOU have to trade…

    As a bit of a Historical Buff, I notice that Trade Requires a measure of Direct or Implied Force to keep the riff raff from simply killing and robbing the say Civil War Sutler. Even Tax Collection in the Early Years of the American Colonies did FAR Better (Less Tar and Feathers) with a detachment of troops along.

    In the Chechnya era of trade in the fall of the USSR the Chechnya traders had their steel barred shops AND Mafia style enforcers to “Keep de peace”. Folks showed up with family treasures to trade for bread and such.

    So, in short, always trade from a position of Strength, lest you get “Taxed-Robbed-Killed” by your clients.

  2. We get them by the 3’/three foot long sleave here in Amish country…they sell them by the pound cause’ they get used by the pound around here.

  3. Commander:
    When it comes to “Overkill” I thought the response was –
    There is no such thing as overkill – There is “I need to fire again”, or “I don’t need to fire again!”

    When it comes to supplies, you ALWAYS need to obtain more…

  4. No wonder I can’t get lids – you got them! Lately I’ve seen lids the stores again. Not many, a dozen or two. So I buy a couple – three boxes to add to my stash.

    • SouthernNH,
      Yes I have been seeing more and more lids on the shelves and like you, I usually buy 3 to 6 dozen. Our garden was pretty much a waste this past year but it was a learning process (we did our own seedlings) so will apply those lessons and will get some @&$* salsa next year!
