Got a couple flyers in the mail about a sale they're having, each flyer has an unique number on it.  Show up in person, if your number matches, you win a $5,000 gift certificate.  Was tempted, but buying from EE, internet, local gun shows I didn't need anything that would justify a 55 mile round trip and 2 hours of my time, but would hate to piss away $5000 too.

Anyway a ARFCOM buddy pulled through, attended the sale a day before I planned to go, emailed me the winning number, it didn't match the one's on my flyer, so I decided not to go.  Saved $7 or so on gas

I feel a little bit guilty but I'll get over it.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last nite.

The last place I want to be is at a gun store during a sale.  I go to my favorite fun shop on their slow days and usually at the very end of the day so I get one-on-one service.  But it's nice you could save a little $$.  

Remember a few years ago, I lent you $7.00?  I see you have an extra $7.00, I would hope you would pay your debt.

Well 7 bucks, plus you probably would have made some small sympathy purchaes because you drove all the way there, so you might as well gte something.
