Hello All,

Found this site the other day and have learned a few new things already. Please bear with me as i am fairly new to all of this and am getting tired of paying big $$ for cheap items that can be built at home for less than half price.

Catch you in the forums.

Cooms is more than an hour out... i know about the goats, but the gorillas?

I don't know if they still have them, but there used to be these old VW Beatles with no engine or autoglass near the main market. The gorillas, which looked like they were stuffed gorilla costumes, were wearing sunglasses and hawaiian shirts and sitting in the car. On the back of the car there was a carboard sign that said "Coombs or Bust". Anyway, it's been a while since I was up that way(maybe a decade) so I suppose there's a good chance it's gone...

A decade -- that is probably my time-frame too. But a friend's daugter has just moved up there so i can do a little research.
