So.... my wife and I just got back from our "oblgation" trip, 12 days on
the road.

Day 1 From the Houston area we stopped in West Memphis AR.

Day 2 On to Terra Haute IN.

Day 3 On to Elkhart IN and stayed 3 nights. Visited the RV museum,
train museum and my wife's brother and his family.

Day 6 On to North Canton, OH. Stayed 3 nights and visited out daughter
in-law's parents and brothers/ sisters, and nephew.

AND We visited Hartville Hardware again. WOW this place is like 3 HD,
Lowes and or Menards put together. The tool section beats any tool
store that I have ever been in. They stock a pretty much complete line
of Shaper Orion, Saw Stop, King, Festool, Jet, Rikon, Powermatic,
Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, and probably a load of other brands of hand
tools. To top it all of they have the longest extension ladder I have
ever seen, 60 feet long and hanging from the ceiling all extended.
Absolutely worth a look if you are in the Akron area.

Day 9 On to Paduka KY.

Day 10 On to Bentonville AR.

Day 11 On to Piedmont OK. More relatives.

Day 13 On to H O M E yeah!!!!!

That concluded our 3477 mile trip.

BTY we need Menards down here in Houston, Hartville Hardware is probably
too much to hope for. :-)

I'm just happy we have a few hundred Lowes and BORGs, plus a couple of
Woodcrafts and Rocklers, and a Peachtree and a Highland in easy
driving range (if you could call driving anywhere in Atlanta "easy").
OTOH, we're really short on decent hardware stores.

Happy New Year!!!!!

My wife and I plan to visit Georgia soon when the big woodworking
convention happens in Atlanta. Maybe not this year but maybe 2022.

Happy New Year!!!
