Thanks for the advice guys.

Not sure when I'll next be on the "populated" part of the Wet side of the state. Have a trip planned to the rainshadow side of the Oly peminsula in a few weeks to check out possible retirement areas. But I tend to stay away from cities as much as possible.

Not sure about joining another board. Sometimes seems I don't have time to use all the resources available on the 'fire. But I'll check out the link.

I may buy online but I generally get to Spokane or the tri-cities area once every couple of months, and Lewiston sometimes twice a month. Will be going there this afternoon as a matter of fact.

Brazos, where is this BP shop in Puyallup? My wife, who lives in the Ptlnd area gets up that way with the dogs occasionaly. I may get up there with her once my season here on the dry side ends in Mid-Nov.

Thanks again for all the help.

OH, a source in the Portland area might work too, as I get there once every month and a half or so.
