Even through Tower the 12 inch extension is only $5.00 so she had her way with you more then once!! I'm blessed with a really good hobby shop plus it's just a couple of blocks from two other chain store hobby shops, not so good but they are there. I also have another one on the other side of town, another chain store but they do have a pertty good stock of stuff. I keep a lot of items on hand here at home, when I find a sale I stock up on stuff, a man can't have enough stuff!! I usually find a lot of electronic stuff on sale at Servo City so on line that is one of my main place to look. I'm not a real quiet person so when things like that happen to me I tend to speak up. At my good LHS they don't bother checking you out until you mention to them your ready, they let you BS with the rest of the guys and do some more looking through there racks of Stuff. The counter guys like to BS too so I'm never in a hurry when I go there. I'm just blessed with four shops close at hand, there were five, another chain store but it closed a while back.
