Well, we are REALLY lucky here.  The owner is a Raider fan, as is moi <g> 
So he orders about anything I want and will hunt it down if his usual 
vendors don't carry it.  AND, most of his employees are formerly 
homeschooled kids and they enjoy helping the kidlets with any project they 
are currently working on.

Funny thing is that a lot of their stuff is less expensive than the big 
chain (Ace) in the closest "real" town (an hour away).

Also, his brother owns the feed store so he doesn't give me that "what in 
the heck do you need that for" look when we doing something animal related. 
Makes life a lot easier <g>
