You know, here in Montana, my nearest Home Depot is 45 miles away. I have an Ace hardware that is 15 miles away and a Gambles that is 5 miles away. I shop at the Gambles because they are closer so I burn less fuel to buy what I need. Their prices are much better than Ace for most of the things I buy and for other"s they are at least similar to Ace and I"d like to see them be there so I don"t have to travel all over creation. Someetimes they may not have something I need and I have to go elsewhere but they are my first stop, otherwise. They offer better service than the Depot for a lot of stuff and when I factor in the fuel prie for a round trip to the Depot, I have to save over $10 by going to the Depot to come out even. If I charge the normal $0.55/mile charge, I have to save near $50 to break even. So those cheaper prices at the Depot are not really so cheap when you consider just the wear and tear and fuel cost on getting there. Then there is the issue of how you value your time! A 20 minute round trip versus an hour and a half round trip.
So there are lot of good reasons to support the small hardware store in your home town.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
