Day 66

We went to gun shows today - one in Dripping Springs and another in New Braunfels.

The one in Dripping Springs wasn't very big.  The only think of note was that prices are coming down.  Some of the dealers recognize that and some don't.

After that we stopped at Home Depot and I picked up the stuff I need to build the new cart rack.

Then we drove to New Braunfels.  On the way we saw an estate sale sign, so we stopped.  It wasn't very interesting.

The New Braunfels show was a lot bigger and had some interesting guns.  It also had a mix of dealers that had gotten the message and those who hadn't.  I saw one dealer who was asking $125 more for a Shield than another dealer two aisles over.

The drive home was a nightmare.  We got up to about 2.5 miles south of Slaughter on I35 and traffic was stopped.  We got off, but the frontage road was a parking lot, too.  After about half an hour we were able to take a side road to get to William Cannon.  To add insult to injury by that time the freeway had cleared up.

We finally made it to the post office.  The only good thing was that with the intersection at William Cannon closed, driving back on 290 was really fast.

We didn't get home until 5.  I was wiped out and spent the evening watching TV and surfing.  Maybe I'll work on the cart rack tomorrow.
