Well, I bought a lower receiver today. Paid $181.50 out the door. I'll have to go back tomorrow to pick it up.

I'd heard rumors that a big crowd was anticipated at the gun show, a friend and I showed up an hour early and waited in the 20 degree weather. We were the first ones there. The show opened at 9:00 and I left around 10:00. All of the lowers were sold out by the time I left. When I went back to my truck, I was blocked in. Both parking lots were full and people had taken to parking on the street up to a mile away. It took me ten minutes to find a way out that I could fit the truck through. Tomorrow morning I will get in and out as quick as possible.

My friend headed over to Farm & Fleet after the show as they are having a sale on .223. I already bought the max allowed yesterday. He just texted me that he was giving up and going home. Apparently the Deer & Turkey Classic (a hunting show) is going on at the Interstate Center near Farm & Fleet, and traffic is backed up all the on to the Interstate (more than a mile). This is REALLY unusual for Bloomington.
