Today I went shopping for a fine pair of tweezers and a light/magnifier glass for building the SR-40. I looked here, I look there, nothing worth spending $1 on, until someone sent me to Hobby Lobby, I struck out there too.
As I exited the building across the parking lot I saw something that I had not seen before , it made me take a good hard look to make sure I wasn't dreaming it up. A Harbor Freight Store, I was not aware there was one. Apparently they were recently added to a manufacturers mall just outside of town (5 minutes drive).
I immediately checked them out and lo an behold really fine tweezers for a reasonable price, and a nice looking lamp, and ... $90 later I left the place before I could go broke. They also informed me they would match any Internet price or catalog price. I took their sale catalog for this weekend's sidewalk sale. Huh, three iron skillets for $9.99, I need some of those too.
It keeps getting better, when I got home, there was my order from the AMQRP club , after supper it's time to mount the light on my worktable and see if I can work with those darned tiny parts.
Some days are good, some days are so so, today was a good day.

I fail to see why doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results every time is insanity: I've almost proved it isn't; only a few more tests now and I'm sure results will differ this time ...
