I can think of a couple of things I might do at midnight but shopping
isn't one of them. Where have we gone as a nation when we go from
being thankful and sharing food with everyone to crowding in front of
stores to await opening at midnight and going elbow to elbow with our
neighbors, fighting for the last Nintendo? And these same folks object
to us riding off road. OF

 I can see dukeing it out over say a Scott's stearing stabilizer for a
hundred bucks or a dry break oversize gas tank for fifty but the world
can keep their swag shit till morning.

I use Bosch and Dewalt, bc the cheap stuff fails me. (Actually DeWalt is
cheap but workable)

So, if I'm getting what you're saying here..  it's all relative to the price
paid for something that drives the world around us.

The reason I am surrounded by workers from across the border is bc everybody
is looking for the lowest price?
BTW I have lost more than one career to the guys who do the jobs we won't
do...
And those guys make pretty good money only it takes them a lot longer each
day to reach the same amount as me.
In other words, I go home at a decent time each night and go riding and
coach ball teams and do stuff.
Actually it's not that I minded hanging sheetrock or finishing all day long
it was that I would not do it for a much lower price than I had been getting
for the last ten years.

So am I to take that Tom Tom I bought for 120 bucks back?

For $149 (half price) I bought the Mio with 4.3" screen.  Because it's cheap
Chinese Krap that I will be subjecting to automotive, and perhaps, motorycle
abuse, I didn't balk at gettting the three year extended warranty.  The
first day out of the box, the power adaptor died.

P.S.  At least Radio Shack had a sane 6am opening time & the line was really
short.
