tube repair kit (nklr)

[Jim]

Being a certified CB (Cheap Bastard) I'm always on the lookout for great deals. Don't get this confused with just plain cheap...I'm talking getting a great bargain. I was on the hunt for goodies to add to my tool kit (O.K., I have to admit that I'm just starting to build my KLR tool kit...) and came across a couple of great finds. The first is a perfect map light for a tank bag. My Wolfman Explorer came in yesterday so I had to find things to add to it. The Explorer has an elastic loop just in front of the map pouch designed for a pen or tire gauge. While exploring the fishing section in Wally World (I don't even fish...but I'm creative) I came across an "Angler's Flexi-Light", which is a very small LED light with a flexible head. The body of the light is just a hair larger than a AA battery, so it fits in the elastic loop perfectly, and the flexible head can be aimed to shine on the map pouch. Perfect for night time map reading! For $10 it even includes batteries. Oh, and it also has a magnetic base, so you could probably use it in a pinch for trailside/roadside repairs. Not really enough light to make it nice to use for that, but handy if you had to. Next on my list was a multi-tool. I had a friend recommend the Winchester brand, and he was right. Its every bit as rugged and well made as a $50 tool, but was only about $15 at Wally World. I picked up several other items, but just basic stuff and nothing to brag about. Jim

Before y'all run out to Wally World for a great deal, please rent the documentary WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I choose not to watch The High Cost of Low Price nor have I seen Hitler's The Power of the Will. Watching propaganda strikes me as such a waste of time. But that's just me.

I second that motion. I love shopping there. Great prices for the same products that cost much more at the Mom & Pop stores. Wally World employs MANY more people, while my money would go to Mom, Pop, and maybe one other $6/hr employee. WalMart gives health benefits, while most Mom & Pop places only employ part time people with no benefits. And our Wally World is one of the highest paying places in the area. Their checkout people make as much as I do as an auto technician (even when I was at a dealer!), get health benefits (which I don't), get vacation time (which I don't), and get holiday pay (which I don't). Man, why aren't I working there? Jim

Ahh, yes--when I was a kid we called those trees "Teacher Trees" in Kansas, in accordance with the generally low impression that most children have of teachers. -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/> http://sobiloff.typepad.com/klr_adventure/> San Jose, CA (USA)
