We headed over there at midnight and ended up 328 and 329 in line. The weather was actually pretty nice compared to this time last year. It was 48 degrees at midnight but that darn Cabelas is in the middle of a wind tunnel, so it felt more like 32! We thought we were smart in taking our camp chairs with us but you couldn't sit down or your butt would freeze off. And the guy in front of us had shorts and a light jacket on. He was hatin' life by 5 a.m. when they opened.
I do have to say, however, that Cabelas had the most orderly Black Friday event of any retailer I have been to. No pushing, no shoving. The store wouldn't even let you get close to the doors and, since they were handing out envelopes with your "prize" in them, you had to go single file. Kudos to Cabelas!
J. ended up getting his 10/22 and we were out of there very quickly, owing to the fact that they did all the paperwork outside before the store even opened. Used a $10 off $50 and the $40 he got for selling the Kindle that he won, so we got a pretty good deal (especially since we are seeing these going for well over $200 at auction for used guns!) Then it was off to Tractor Supply to pick up a cheapie air compressor for the farm. The one we have out there is just way too small. Especially since J. is known for having flat tires on everything he owns.
Hope you had a nice, uneventful day after Thanksgiving. I'm out!
