Spent three days in Yuma (business) and hit a bunch of the same stores.  The only find that I pulled the trigger on was a vintage discwasher record cleaner with a 2/3 full bottle of D3.  $1.00 at Hospice of Yuma.  I also saw some Infinity Speakers at a GW, but didn't buy because I don't need them, couldn't test them, and didn't know what they'd be worth if I had to sell them.  I checked eBay, and they go for $50-60 per pair.  I would've paid $16.00 for the pair.  Too little margin for too much risk.

In the words of Spalding Gray (imitating a California surfer chick):

"Nothin' Goin' on down there, dude."

That is all.

Hey, Yuma! I used to live there in the mid 90's, due to the Marine Corps base.

Cookie took down a deposition there once and I thrifted the whole town while she listened to a woman tell about how she was wrongfully terminated from an airline.
I also hopped across the border to Mexico for the first time. It was pretty cool, but I would have rather been there with Misses Wife. I bought her a $5 Ironwood bass carving that our bad cat Salvatore broke.

Jane and Good Buddy -

You'll be happy to know that MCAS Yuma (Marine Corp Air Station) is still there, as is Mexico.

That is all.
