Story My Trip to the Welding Shop (Inert Gas)

[Spectre]

I went to a welding store last week. I'm a small dude who doesn't really look like the tradesperson type. So I came up with a story that I had a friend coming from out of town who wanted prices and measurements of some parts. This also helped cover up the fact that I didn't know anything about wielding. I got prices for the 40cb tanks, some of the regulators, tubes and whatever else I could skim from the inert gas resource page on here. The whole thing is going to cost like $1000 Canadian dollars, and I don't even know how to get the stuff back to my apartment, let alone how to use it. I was thinking maybe I could Uber back from the store, but I don't even know if I can hold all the things to get it in and out of the Uber. There is probably some solution to the whole transportation thing. But when seriously depressed, this is a lot of energy being spent planning and working it through. If only it was easier to get Nembutal.

Prices:
40 cubic metres of nitrogen gas- $330 + tax
Regulator- $200 + tax
Hoses - $18-$30 + tax
Miscellaneous - idk because idk what I'm doing
