[Boatanchors] Capacitors

You may be!  From where I am in the Dallas, Texas, area, depending on traffic, it takes between 30 minutes and over an hour to get to a well stocked parts store.  There used to be one about 15 minutes away, but it is "long gone"!  Mouser is about an hour away during the day (about 50 miles).  But, considering the cost of gasoline, it is MUCH cheaper for them to ship the items since I get them overnight.

I am starting to think I am the only ham in the U.S. who can get in the car
and drive a few minutes to the local parts store, get a cart and walk around
amongst parts bins and pick caps and resistors etc. put them in plastic
bags, pay and go home.
