I am not brave enough to try and deal with the masses on a day like this but I managed to score an almost complete 5.0 harness and mass air computer for $50 today. Feels like I got a great deal. It will be for my brother in laws Bronco once I've finished gathering the few other things I need.

I bought my son a RC 4x4 for Christmas, it looks like a Bronco (almost). Our backyard is hilly so he'll have a blast and maybe even let me drive it.

Apparently Sportsman's Warehouse had Para Ordnance 1911s for 299 this morning with a max of three per customer. And now there are a few hundred gun nuts publicly denouncing SW for promoting opportunists and claiming they will never shop there again.

I spent the day on the couch eating leftovers and watching Mizzou beat Arkansas, taking the SEC East. Then I hung up Christmas lights.

The best part of the day was not having to deal with shoppers or crowds.

Black Friday is phone upgrade time for us, this year it was TFB who scored a iPhone 6.

I went to the big city of Montrose, and picked up 700 sq feet of a nice laminate floor for $.49/sq ft @ Home Depot. I know it isn't the last floor I'll put down. But it was cheaper than carpet, and I can put it down myself. With the padding the whole thing was a little more than $500 with tax. So if I rip it up in 5 years, it won't hurt my feelings.

I've never been shopping on "Black Friday", and even though Montrose was just a fraction of the traffic of a real city, it was terrible. Glad I got the deal, but I'll avoid BF shopping if at all possible in the future. There were a couple moments when I thought another customer might have bought the last of the $.49 flooring, and terror struck me. Visions of making headlines, for beating someone with a plank of laminate flooring, flashed through my head. After Home Depot, we ate lunch, and decided to skip 2 or 3 other places, and drive home. It was exhausting.

Picked up some burly motor mounts on sale at toms bronco parts, will be ordering the parts to revavle my coilovers today. I don't do BF in stores, but love the online deals.

You know it's almost run its course when you see ad which read

I'm really thankful that my wife despises it as much as I do !
