~ My 2018 Birthday Extravaganza Day Eight! ~

Another fun day lined up. I am heading out to Best Buy as

the movie "IT" (2017) is being released to Blu-ray today.

It has been raining all night and it is raining as I leave

El Rancho De La Tex.

Arriving at Best Buy. Still raining.

I did get "IT" on Blu-ray. I also bought "Under the Skin" with

Scarlett Johansson. Between "The Avengers", "Ghost in the

Shell" and "Lucy", I really like her. I also bought "The Belko

Experiment" which I have heard a lot about. These last two movies

were really inexpensive. Especially since I used a Best Buy

Birthday 10% off coupon and a gift card that I received when

I bought my phone from Best Buy. So I only paid..... NOTHING!

Good deal says I.

My next stop since it is in the same area is Fry's Electronics.

I have a little list for this store.

Oh man. I have had "Arizona" (1940) on my Amazon Wish List

for YEARS. And I found it here, for only $4.99. Excited for this

Western. The Old Tuscon Studio in Arizona was built expressly

for this movie. This is Western Movie History.

I also found "THX1138" on Blu-ray for a really really good

price: $5.97. I have the DVD, but this George Lucas movie is

really good and I wanted the Blu-ray upgrade. When I got it

home I discovered why it was priced so low. The Blu-ray case

is thrashed. Not to worry. I have spares.

Impulse buy, kind of. I did want one of these Gerber Shard tools.

But the opportunity never presented itself until I reached the

Gerber years ago made really nice knives. Now? Not so much.

They have gone WAY downhill. We will see how this little

Shard tool does. And by the way, when are they going to

stop putting bottle openers on everything? When was the last

time you used a bottle opener? Yet they have them on

EVERYTHING. Can't understand it.

(Oh yeah, I bought some coaxial cable I needed and some

lint free cloth things for our TVs, phones and computers.)

Two more stops for today. The first one will be Tom's Burgers

for a bit of lunch. When I am with my son we eat inside, but I am

alone today so I am going through the drive-through.

I think I forgot to mention that as I was leaving The Ranch

on Monday's Extravaganza Day, my car took a dive. I was just

hoping and praying that I would be able to use another of our

cars or my Extravaganza would come to a halt. THANKFULLY, I WAS
able to use another car. BUT, the driver's side window on this car
does notwork, so I had to wait with the door open for the guy to get
to me and then order my food. I took a shower. Literally.

The burger was good.
