Call it selfish, inconsiderate, etc., but at the end of the day, it is what it is and I gotta do what I gotta do. I don't WANT to load up, I don't WANT to nearly max out 2 credit cards with $15k limits on them each, I don't WANT to spend almost half of my stimulus check the day I get it, but in the midst of a crisis, and seeing everyday items that were once plentiful but now scarce, survival instincts kick in.

JAR, not trying to pick an e-fight with you, as I have high regards and respect for you, amongst some of the other members also. IMO, this is a sink-or-swim situation we are all in globally and on an individual level.

You have to do what's best. for you and your family. Because NO one else will. The 3 basics. Food, clothing and shelter. You have to take care of those things to survive. I bought over $200 worth of meat early this week. You think I care on what Jar thinks about me buying that much meat. Hell no. So don't sweat it. Hey Jar......I'm planning on buying more meat next week too.

Damn straight! I think Jarbooboo was confused, thought VTEC meant man-meat.

I bought half a cow worth of steaks yesterday.

I went back again today after work. Amazing how much can change in 24 hours. Costco is now limiting their meat sales to 3 per member/day. Unfortunately, it's a combined limit whether you buy beef/chicken/pork or one of them. So, I went home, unloaded, changed clothes, and went back. I can confirm that when they scan your card at the line, it does not log what item you bought, as I did this 3 times.

JAR, now I'll admit I may have a meat problem

I'm considering buying a freezer and a cow

Have enough family and friends with stocked freezers. And local private options for dairy and protein if it comes to that.

Regarding the hex ball tools, did you want that in socket set or just a regular set? If regular L shaped keys- Bondhus is what you want.

Socket set... ZSpec's dress up kit is all internal hex head fasteners and I have too much arm power to safely use 3/8ths without breaking things....

There are some nice little sets that wont cost a fortune. Gearwrench, tekton and sunex come to mind. Although, Id probably still buy the bondhus keys and use them, not like the bolts are 4" long.

I use a tiny ratcheting screw driver with a hex bit for them. I feel like it lets me snug them perfectly without overtorquing.

Especially your right arm. Probably have a pretty strong grip in your right hand too.
