Today was a busy day. It was Grizzly Tools annual scratch and dent sale. The doors open at 8:00AM. I got there a little after 7:00AM and this was my position in line:
Some people brought campers and spent the night -- like I said here, the fantastic stuff goes in a matter of minutes.
Once inside the tent, it was a mad scramble. Larger pieces had forms attached to them so you could remove the top sheet and the remaining form had a big red SOLD sign on it. I saw lots of these after about 30 minutes:
A couple shots inside the tents:
There were about six tents like this plus some additional smaller tents and the main store was open with deep discounts (20%) on lots of new items. The store needed a few things and the Hardware Sales event didn't really start until 11:30AM when the Bar-B-Que wagon started serving so I ran errands for two hours; two food wholesalers, a local produce stand and Wal-Mart because we were totally out of Hot Dog buns. Back at Hardware Sales, I made a beeline for the 'Q'
They were selling BBQ Beef sandwich's with a drink for 75¢. I got two and am still stuffed -- good stuff! I next waddled in through the entrance of the event:
Bought a few tools (a set of impact sockets and drivers for my cordless impact driver -- just like the big air tools just smaller) as well as a very clever hood for chop saw. I was going to refer you to the website for it (FastCap) but their site starts off with a mandatory video and is based on flash animation. Impossible to use with a satellite dish that has latency and dropped packet issues... Outside, there was a group called Firemen for Fun who gave rides to the kids on a gorgeously restored old truck:
All in all, a fun day!
