I find that as I get older, and my free time less and income more,
that ordering "known quantities" from the catalog is more productive
at getting the job done. But there still is that "thrill of the
hunt" when you are browsing through the surplus place or hamfest and
finding that real good deal. Too bad I have a garage full of "good
deals" that I haven't got the time to use.
