Vaca 'budget' ...

 Okay .....   call it what you want.  When we go on Vaca a few times a year, normally get a few extra bux, bring it along and inevitably they find their way back into a safe place for the next one .. and the next one.  I had a stash of $2s in my gun safe but damned if it didn't jam up on me and I couldn't get them out.  Last trip left w/o my $2s.  Mama has been busting my balls to bring them on the next trip out there so ... FINALLY ...   got 'em out!    New 9V battery ....  makes pretty noises.  But couldn't get that handle to turn for the life of me.  Did some search on the 'net for answers/help and ...  relied on the brute force method.  Literally, pounded on each corner of the door to help with the latches and ....   lo and behold, it unlatched and opened.  Magic!  hahaha.  Have to admit, I was starting to wonder how much that was going to cost to 'break in' to the safe and have to replace it.   But, worked as advertised.

I've written about this before; I've got a LOT of $2 bills.  I meant to take these Peso's on my last couple of trips but overlooked them, not this time. Enough there to cover all my taxi rides, margaritas AND burritos!   Actually, way overkill, but I'll stick all these in a bag and no doubt, return home with 50-75% of it all and ....  put it away until the next outing on the books.

Not a bad leftover stash from the last few trips.... no need to head to the bank for the next one.
