That's quite a list but $90 for three diaphragm calls??? Dude, where the hell do you shop?

You would crap if you saw what I take with me.

Total.........................$ 109

Thing is though, most of this stuff I've had for years. If you divide the total cost by the number of years you use the stuff, it ain't that much. By the way, this logic doesn't work with wives.
