Black Friday - what did you buy?
 
Ok, so I usually abstain from the 'black friday' shopping experience, but this year I did notice a deal I couldn't pass up that fit great with my under-construction RV-8. A Werner work platform on sale for $19.00 at Lowes, regularily $43! The nice thing was no 4am wakeup - the sale goes to 11/30/2010! I plan to use the two I bought during construction and after at the hangar for misc stuff on the airplane. Seemed like a good deal.

Got one!!
 
I bought one of them too. Also, Lowes has the big clamps for $.99. I buy at least 5 every time I go in there.

I barracaded my self inside my hangar, I spent 0 dollars and came in contact with none of the rabid holiday beasts out in the malls. I successfully made it thought Black Friday untouched by insane bargain hunters. Twas a good day!

well i did order some more fineline tape and another bag of clecos... but that doesnt count does it?

Got a shop vac at Lowes. 5.75hp 16 gal. They ran out of the 14 gal like 30 seconds before I got to the pallet.

I bought a RV-6. Now I just need to learn how to fly it. Whats with the nosewheel on the back of the aircraft and why does it not want to go straight on the runway?

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I just ran out and picked up a couple. I called several stores around me and they were selling out fast.
BTW, they're only $17.10 ea. with the Veteran's discount.

I bought some postage stamps - not much of an economic rebound there :)

Winter in the PNW is a good time to brush up on IFR stuff.... it's been a lot of years for me since I was last current. In the winter there will be way more flying on the computer than in the air, so I ordered the IP Training/On Top software bundle from A/S. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...dleIPonTop.php

Ummmm... it's on "backorder".... others must be thinking the same thing.
