The past few years we Claddies have been experiencing a precipitous decline in the Fresh drops...The Humans are going cashless and using a debit card...The Mgr at the StopNRob says its easily 80% cashless transactions...totters are swept clean..very hard to find a fresh dropped Q about anywhere!..
Well, I got up earlier than usual today for some reason, with $4 dollars in my wallet and half a tank of gas...a pack of smokes in my pocket and an apple riding shotgun...Away I went committed to find enough pay to gas up Rosie and buy smokes and maybe even beer!
Rainy Windy and Cold! Dark and hard to drive! I eased on South 30 miles like an Old Man..going 45mph..afraid I would hit a deer...the wet road and rain just ate up the headlights...like zero vis..not prudent to be out at all!!
First Stadium was open but a total dud, second one was locked up tight, free wheeling around the fences and common areas, I bet I wasted 2hrs for a little over $2 of scattered Q's...few and very far between.....Discouraging! Forum Member Sturrat pinged me at dawn..said, "The Big Lake is flat as a pancake! You going out?" I responded, "I'm already out! Hunting for Clad!" What a disgrace...maybe I should pull the plug and go hunt the Big water for gold with Brother Rat?
Then I thought about this one place, where I racked up massive stink last Season, and decided to drive over to take a look to see if the gates were open...And to my sheer amazement, One Was! Trash everywhere! Evidence of a massive Sporting event this weekend! I Got in there and Good Betty Crocker! Wind blown bills! Fresh dropped Q's! At least 300 cans!
I left the cans alone and concentrated on the Q's...Just stooping and stabbing like a stone cold Madman! Clad Hammer Time!! Came out of there at noon with 146Q's, a JFK Half, a total coin count of 165 for $38.13 and the $8 in bills made for a total payday of $46.13!
Half the Q's were freshies! Right on the deck or in the grass roots! (I did a 'Puddle Dump' to knock off the grass and clay so the clean up at home would not make such a mess in the sink)....So yeah...at some venues, they still accept circular metal monetary discs at the Concessions!
I shoulda went and got all those cans....But Hey, no need to be greedy when theres fresh coins and paper money laying around all over the place! Plus, stuffing 300 cans in Rosie is a major undertaking...Not that I wont do it, just not today!
Running the NOX in park2, 50 tones...about 15sens...not ground balancing or noise cancelling either...Home safe, all gassed up and a fresh pack of unfiltered ready rolls, 4 25oz Barley Pops to get me through the day...and $20 to the positive! Near the end of my hunt, I thought to myself, "Hey, I better find a nickel for the Forum" So I quickly did! Man..I just LOVE this Sport!
Although, if a guy cant find an open gate, this woulda been a pretty palsied morning! Maybe enough for a beer or two..or I coulda gone water hunting with 'Rat...He wont buy me my smokes or gas, but he generally carries a few spare beers that he is willing to share...so thats good for a plan B...
