Harbor Freight now open in Sterling VA

[fgentges at mindspring.com]

I went by today and checked out the New Harbor Freight store. Indeed, we 
now have one pretty much around the corner from our lab. This is a great 
resource to have so close.

I note that they say their tools have a lifetime guarantee.

They have a mailing list for all their sales.  A nice flyer worth getting.
