    Sorry Ben but there is no cure for that disease. Just enjoy it while you can.

    Yeah, I've had a lot time on my hands between gun shows...Last one with tables was in February and the next one is June 3-4...So instead of driving around just visiting out of town shows, and burning large volumes of overpriced diesel, I started ordering little odds and ends I've been wanting to add to the Beast...I admit it got out of hand...I spent less at gun shows......Ben

    Except for food almost all of my shopping is done on Amazon. Especially since moving to the country.

    I hope you all know about Amazon Smile. A small % of each order amount will be donated to a charity of your choice. It costs you nothing and adds to substantial amounts to the designated recipient. They will periodically send you an accounting of the amount.

    Yep - Wifey and I use Amazon's charitable process as well. It makes up for some of the guilt resulting from local businesses going belly up.

    I use Amazon in addition to Sam's club and Costco. Those are pretty much my go-to mail order vendors.

    The "Amazon Smile" program is one of my few ways of donating to charity...Since Dave told us about it some time ago, I've been able to contribute to the American Legion more often......Ben

    As Dave advised at an earlier date, you have to log in and order through the Amazon Smile site each time before the donation is processed......Ben
