Hamfest this weekend. Good weather for it. Lots of cool gear and free door prizes with entry. $8. The post below brought it to mind to post here.

Cool !! I used to visit the TRW Space Park electronics swap meet in Redondo Beach CA. With cash in hand, I'd come home with all kinds of junk I didn't really need. My finest buy was a surplus solar panel from JPL. Solar panels were very expensive back then.

A close friend of our family worked for TRW out of that facility and continues to today but under Northrop-Grumman. Yes, small world!

Love the "no pets, pornography, or guns" part of the listing - speaks volumes!

While Richmond, Timonium and Hoard County see falling attendance Berryville keeps growing every year. This year was full of good finds.

Yeah, I love dogs & wouldn't restrict them. My comment was a poor (and evidently unsuccessful) attempt at humor. Dogs = spouses, see? Okay, I agree, lame, sorry. Dave
