The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

And a good mind-morning to you all. Been busy, for about the forth day this week I stood around the Walmart sports dept waiting for them to bring out any ammo that they got that night. I got there about 6:45 and no one was waiting around. That's usually a bad sign since a lot of them have a smartphone app that tells them what's been delivered to what store. My suspicions were right, the clerk came out a bit after 7:00 with a few boxes, but no .22, no 9MM and no .38 special. And for the fourth day in a row, I went home empty-handed. except for one "value pack" of 12 ga shotshells. Things loosened up towards the end of last year but started getting scarce again, and now just about impossible to find any popular caliber ammo. I saw a TV ad for a gun show that they're having in Phoenix right now, and there was a picture of a table loaded with stacks of all different kinds of ammo. I'll guarantee you that picture wasn't taken recently.

Just got notices about three different swap meets being held here:

• The first is on April 5 in Clarkdale, AZ. They are providing a special deal that includes a Verde Canyon Railroad excursion.
  The next one is the "In the Heat" meet, held on July 26, at the church on Bethany Home Rd. and Central Ave. in Phoenix
  The last one is the "Beat the Heat" meet on August 16, up in Prescott.

The last two are annual events that have been going on for years. The one up in Clarkdale is new this year. If I were to pick and choose, I've always done well up in Prescott, plus it's at least 20 degrees cooler than here and I always stop by J&G Sales to check out their guns.
