I am working onsite for a client in the Chicago area and am wondering
if it's worth the two hour trip to Galesburg for the swap meet. I'm
looking for experimentation materials, including servos, drives,
steppers, I/O cards, etc.

Since it's experiment material, there's a fair chance I'm going to
blow something up trying to make them do things they don't want to do.
So I'd prefer used stuff to cut down on my tax writeoffs...

Question is, is it worth half a day of driving? It is pretty hard to
justify charging my time for sitting in the car thinking about stuff,
so I'll have to sacrifice the whole day for this.
