Good point, I haven't heard about one new thing this year. Main reason I'm not going. LA used to be the show place for all the new stuff.

I wanted to pick-up some Boat Bling products, they usally have good show prices.
Need 1 or 2 Danick Hooks.
Need another soft cooler too.
Also need a new toy to tow behind the boat for next July trip.
I just saved a few hundred. :good

They opened a Goodwill about 100 feet from our shops front door. As they staffed the place with my ex-employees, I told the Wife not to shop there. Better rethink this I guess. Good deal. :good

Heineken
Boat Bling Hot Sauce
Heineken
