Sadly - I'll have to buy at least one thing. Replacing an outlet in a rental property that we're leasing next week, so the outlet itself and possibly a J-box at the local hardware store

There are many things I don't understand but waiting in line all night and then rushing into a **** hole warehouse with a bunch of grease-balls is incomprehensible, plus

If you want a Black Friday deal...

A. You can order off their web-site

B. A lot of that crap is the low end/entry level/already dated model

Paraphrasing what someone else said about the matter:
"Black Friday is to capitalism as scat porn is to free speech. We have to tolerate both as a consequence of living in a free society, though both are abominations."

Doing my impression of an acrobat up on the roof (hopefully a GOOD impression!), cleaning out the gutters, and then installing gutter guards so I don't have to do this damned job again next year.

Been waiting for a while to purchase a fiberglass tail piece for my motorcycle project and I'm rewarded by it being 30% off.

Hopefully I'll be getting a call from my local gun shop telling me that my purchase is in. I located 2 complete numbers matching Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifles with accessories, one of them a PU sniper with scope, and a numbers matching M44 Carbine. I also have 880 rounds of ammo coming with them, still in the sealed can.

My son and I are going to have one hell of a good time restoring the sniper and the carbine.

These are cheap to buy, and parts are plentiful...they're also a blast to shoot. I already had a non-number matching 91/30 that I've had for a number of years. I took my son to the range a few weeks ago and let him shoot it...it nearly knocked him on his arse. It was a good thing that I was behind him. LOL

Sounds good jlp. I have a 91/30 myself that i refinished (the original shellac was peeling, cosmoline, etc). It shoots pretty good though i havent tried anything farther than 100 yds. I found the recoil to be pretty mild actually.. almost disappointing. Was expecting a bigger boom and push. Guess you need a carbine for that. Im most impressed by the trigger on the thing, wonder if its been modified. Very smooth and not heavy at all.
