So far we like the pneumatic nail guns we got there, paint sprayer and dry wall jack. Some things we avoid like poison let's just say we are careful with what we buy there.

Missouri has passed a bill protecting citizens' second amendments rights in spite of whatever nonsense is generated by the government. Another reason we love Missouri.

Thanks for passing on that Consumer Reports article. I'll have to look it up.

Only got small stuff at Harbor Freight Tools -turned out to be cheap knockoffs of a better one bought at a different place (Menards).

Bruce, I'd be very interested in that thread.

Can we post links here? Easy enough to find, just Google "Harbor Freight Tools That Don't Suck" The first return will likely be the TractorByNet website.

I learned years ago that if I know what I'm looking for and I want to get it cheap as far as building materials are concerned, go to Menard's.

If I don't know exactly what I want and need advice that won't lead me wrong, I go to Home Depot. Or the local mom and pop hardware store.

Knew somebody who worked at Menards. They told me that when they hire a new person, they put them where they are needed and regularly check the sales of that area. If the sales are down, the person gets moved. Rinse wash repeat.

I"ll have to do that when I finish here Bruce.

Except that often it is the SAME medicine made in a USA plant.

Yep... Yep Yep... As long as you know the latin name for the drug ...

Though they do have drugs that are NOT sold in the US... some of the herbals.... so best to get what you know.

@getaclue ad @Capricorn farm. Are you all still getting a lot of rain out there?

No. We went a whole 3 weeks without rain. It did rain last night, and sprinkled today, which has brought the temps down. It soaked right in, so no standing water.

Yes, it rained pretty much all day again. River is way up!

There's more to the story as to why a person should not buy medications from other countries, even if they were made here. It's not just about money.
