Rolled the Plus 8 out yesterday. (Pouring rain today.) I took my nephew for a ride to the Auto Parts store. He was visiting colleges and stayed a few days.

It's funny, and I guess it happens to us all, but that trusty can of lube or twist of wire has to finally give out. I needed copper slip and safety wire. Well, last time I bought these things was years ago. I don't remember having a problem then. Well, yesterday, I got mostly blank stares. Safety wire?? What's it for?? We have speaker wire!! Oh, no. Finally, they tracked down the oldest store employee to ask. We found something but it was too thin to be safety wire. Copper slip, nothing close. So I reverted to the internet. I ordered enough of both for my life time anyway, so I won't have to go through this again. I wonder what will run out next . . . .

Cheers,

Mark
