Default Surprise today at Hobby Lobby

The new E and F BP engines were on the shelf, along with a couple of the new kits. Kits were the Majestic and Ascender. Motor prices were $24ish for the two pack, which will bring it down into a decent range with the 40% off coupon. I got pics, but they're on my phone and I have no idea how to send them anywhere useful.

Email them yourself, save the attachment to your computer and you should be able to imbed them in a message here.

Not an option, and the pics aren't that good anyway. My phone is not a smart phone. It's more of a moron phone. They want me to subscribe to a service to be able to send pics to email and that's money better spent elsewhere. If I get back this weekend, I'll take a real camera.

Does your phone connect to your computer via USB? On any version of Windows from XP the system should give an option to save photos when it's plugged in. Same with a Mac.

It does. I'll give that a try when I get home in the morning. I never considered that despite charging it on the computer last night. Maybe it isn't useless after all.
No, it's still pretty much useless.

That price sounds reasonable with the 40% off coupons.
Without them, no thanks.
12 bucks for 50n-sec is just too much when I can pay roughly $20 for three 50-nsec F24 or F39 RMS 24 reloads (around $6.75 each). BP SU in a cardboard case should be no more expensive than APCP reloads per n-sec.

How does someone get a 40% off coupon?

Go to the Hobby Lobby website and click on "Weekly Offers", then print off the coupon. OR, take your smart phone to the store and go to the website, pull the coupon up and show it to the cashier. I have a not-real-smart phone, so I have my daughter send me a picture of the coupon and they accept that as well. (Probably out of pity for my sad little phone existence more than anything.)

You need to get that phone some further education to 'smartify' it.
