Impluse buying at its finest
Well today I was buying some odd and end parts for my 1949. I went to Princess Auto with the intention of buying a $2.99 button switch. Somehow though I ended spending slightly under $400.00 in less then 1/2 hour.....

You done good..........I hardly ever get away that easy!
Here I was expecting an announcement about a fleet of auction sale bargains.
You didn`t go to Nelson`s auction sale today?

Nice deal Ryan!
I went to princess auto today, but didnt notice those fifth wheel hitches you were talking about.
I did go in there to buy one wrench that i was gonna cut up, and ended up buying 40 bucks worth of stuff.

Yeah they do have all kinds of stuff. Normally I dont buy tools there, but for one that I wanna cut up to make a short box end, its perfect!
A tad cheaper then cutting up a snap on wrench too

Princess Auto`s tools aren`t high on my list either but once in awhile I`ll buy afew like the set of big box end wrenches and 3/4 inch drive socket set. They`re cheap enough that if I only use then once in awhile it`s ok and handy to have instead of wasting time running to borrow.

P/A's tundra air hoses are awesome as well. they stay flexible in any weather and seem to hold up pretty good. i've got a couple and will be getting more when we go to regina in a couple weeks.
