Where is everyone #5

Had a buddy that stashed some cash in an old rotten redwood stump in a mason jar. Got woke up by his dad one morning to explain why there were a bunch of $20 bills boiling up from the soil as he was clearing brush with his old Komatsu dozer. We spent a few days with shovels and rakes out there on a salvage mission. Just an average day as a youth in the Emerald Triangle.

 

Every time I have a question about my IRA I'll call the guy that handles it and say "Tell me why I shouldn't pull all my money out and bury it in the back yard in mason jars" He usually has a good plan and talks me out of it .

 

Mendo native here with a variation on that - a friend of a friend got busted and had to go away for a couple of years - buried well into 6 figures in the woods. When he got out he couldn't find the notes/map he made and when he went out in the forest nothing looked familiar.

I'll stick to making my money legally.

 

Ho boy. I think I’ve just been driving long enough to have forgotten more than what some of these heroes think they know at a truck stop counter any more.

shut up and let me enjoy my barely edible chicken Parmesan in peace, will ya?

 

Tell me you don’t have a couple K stashed just in case

 

Every one should have cash stashed.
Just not gonna admit to the number…..don’t want anybody coming round to see what I’m stashing.

 

End of 1999 guy I was working with tell me every day darn near what he and his wife were doing to prepare for Y2K. Stocking up- food, toothpaste, gold, silver....
He asks me what I'm doing to prepare.
Nothing
He can't believe it "What are you going to do if everything goes sideways!"
Uh, come to your house with overwhelming firepower and take all the sheet you've told me you have stocked up.

 

I went to the Pontiac Silverdome for a concert. Young, didn't have sheet. Figured might as well go out at a party for Y2K.
