I wished I had the discretionary incomes that some of you folks seem to have. I know it's wrong to covet and all but dang it I want a TGLB so bad! I have ordered and backed out so many times due to money issues. You folks are lucky and I am envious of you all! Lol
 
I don't have the income either to just go and buy, my secret is to stuff a $20 or two away each payday in an envelope marked Busse, I also have an envelope marked Busse sheath, and reloading supplies. Some of the envelopes get fed better than other's, but eventually I get to empty out an envelope and get what I been wanting. Also having more than one envelope allows me to pull from the fund I consider least important to cover the occasional emergency needs.
 
I am the only one who works in my house and have been for twenty years now. When both of my kids are gone maybe then I will have some extra.
 
I have ordered three different ones at different times but, when they were actually ready something would always come up. Kids need this, car needs that, etc, etc. I felt bad for backing out but, I am sure some other person was glad to get the opportunity to get one early.
 
I gave up drugs to fund my Busse habit. I’m finding drugs were easier to control :eek:
 
From the few things you have said about your family here it sounds to me like you are indeed a rich man. Someday the kids will be gone and you may have your knife. Then all you will want is more time with the kids.

We'll be here still making knives when the funds become available. And know that you are welcome here whether you have a TGLB or not.

Hear! Hear!..... Well expressed :thumbup:
 
I love my family more than anything, they are the reason I have been trucking for twenty years. I haven't always been able to give them everything they need but I try. My wife is more or less disabled due to an ankle fracture during her second pregnancy. It effectively ended her working career. But I told her when we met that she would never have to work again cause that is my job to be husband, dad and provider. I need her and the kids needed her at home. So, I chose trucking, not because I wanted to do it necessarily but, because that was all there was where we lived. If anything else I just want my family to remember that I did my best to provide for them and I am not at all ashamed of that.

Sounds like you have your priorities straight, and for that, you should be able to sleep well at night. I hope you eventually are able to get a TGLB, they are certainly cool knives, but there is nothing more valuable than family. I'm getting married in June so I've been buying up all the Busse blades I can before my wife-to-be puts the brakes on for awhile (temporarily). :D

I grew up as a truck drivers kid so I can relate. Don't think my Dad ever drove a mile because thats what he wanted to do, he did it because its what he needed to do. I gave him a gemini for Christmas this year. Gave it to him on our annual father/son walk through the woods on Christmas day. I can honestly say the walk meant more to me than the knife ever would. I can always make another knife or buy him another gift but once the opportunity to spend time with him is gone I cant ever get it back.
Sounds to me like your family got a hell of a guy to watch out for them.
