Hell Gene, I'm hope I'm as active as you are when I reach your age. Another place to consider for nuts, bolts and screws is Fastenal. I've heard some horror stories about them, but our local branch is great! I bought all the nuts, bolts and odd-ball fasteners from them when I was building my machine. You do have to buy in quantity, but on occasion, I've been able to buy a few pieces out of a broken box. All in how you sweet talk the cute young ladies behind the counter. ;-) I've had an account with them for years now, and have always gotten good service from them, even when having to order something they don't stock in the store. Couple days turn around being the longest. Quickest was going in the morning, ordering and having it there that afternoon. They ain't McMaster-Carr on stocking the world, but they do have a ton of stuff, and they have good catalogs too.
