OK, folks, need a "ha ha" or a "too bad":

I drove up to Harbor Freight (the Porter Cable on the local Craigslist
was snatched up rapidly, as you might imagine from that price). Bought the
gun and a bunch of other stuff, of course. Spent $65.

Came home, and as I was unloading the car up walks the postman. He
hands me the latest Harbor Freight flyer with a coupon for 15% off
$65.
Couldn't I at least get the stuff into the garage before seeing the
bleedin' flyer???


Tough. Take ALL the stuff back to HF for a refund. Then buy it all over with
the coupon.

I hate to admit it, but I've done exactly that. Of course if was for a
$12.95 item that was sold the next day for $4.95...
