Mesquite gloat

Google Alerts is a wonderful thing. I've got it configured to search Craiglist postings for keywords and generate a newsfeed item in Google Reader whenever something new turns up that I might be interested in. This led to me finding my Powermatic bandsaw about six months ago, and recently it has turned up a couple of caches of wood. The first was a enough sapele to build a small chest of drawers for the study. Then this week it turned up a sale of 150-200 bf of mesquite. The seller posted it at 9pm and I received the newsfeed alert almost immediately. When I called the next morning, I was the first to respond to the ad and what a haul it turned out to be.
