Adam - you know about Tanner's on Valwood Parkway (off I-35E) in Farmer's Branch (N of Dallas) don't you? I-35E to Valwood Parkway, go west on Valwood, look for "Container Store" building - notice the traffic light BEFORE this store and take a right at the light - Tanner's is in this north-side strip center kinda north and across the street from the Container Store building. Good selection of items - some surplus, some new stock, lot's of chips and the like AND they also have the GPS receivers and docs! Rumor has it (from talking with the gal at BG) that Tanner's and BG sometimes share stock for sale - and with Tanner's open on weekends this can be a benefit!
