No luck with my shoulder

Well, I'm thinking that I may have to see a doctor about my shoulder.  It doesn't seem to be getting any better.   It was feeling better for a few days, but when I woke up today, that same old intense pain was back and has lasted all day, which is NOT good.    It's not just my shoulder, but actually radiates down my arm, about 1/4 of the way to the elbow.    I'm going to have to find some time to see a doctor, or at least a chiropractor to see what's going on.

March came in like a lamb for us with very quiet weather yesterday.   I was at the store all day, and was actually rather busy.  Folks are getting spring fever and thinking more and more about camping, which is VERY good for us!   A couple weeks ago, I got an e-mail from some folks in Green Bay wanting to know our hours as they wanted to take a road trip to visit our store.  Well, they came to visit on Saturday!    It was nice chatting with them and knowing that they had driven two hours to come to our store made me feel really good!  

It's still cold and we still have a LOT of snow, but it IS getting warmer.  We've been in the 20's or so lately which is MUCH warmer than we've had.  Of course, tonight we're under a winter weather advisory, because we have freezing drizzle, sleet and then snow coming!  Oh, yippee!   Just what we want!    I just hope that the roads are OK in the morning!  I'm still leery about driving when the temps are below freezing.   I'm sure I'll be much more comfortable once the temps warm up, but for now, I'm still slightly nervous.  

Maddie, of course, is LOVING the snow!  She's so goofy!  She runs out there and immediately bury her head in the snow!  She'll run through it, and reach down to grab up a mouthful . . . but then will stand there for a moment or two as if to say "DANG!  That's COLD!"  You can just see the "brain freeze" happening from the mouthful of snow!     :P   Spring must be coming, because she's shedding like crazy already.  Just like a wolf  . . . she has "hunks" of fur that are just dropping off her near her haunches.  I've actually sat down next to her and pulled them out . . . if she let me, I'd just take the vacuum to her, but she really HATES the vacuum cleaner!   Once it gets a little warmer out, I'll spend some time outside brushing her to get rid of all that loose hair.  

We DID get a bunch of new products in the store on Wednesday!   Our new 12-volt products are now here!    

All these products are from Field & Stream and even come with a complimentary 1 year subscription to Field & Stream Magazine!

12-volt 12 cup coffee maker




12-volt 4 cup coffee maker



12-volt All Purpose Cooker -- Make popcorn, hotdogs, soups, stews, etc.!   A great little 12-volt appliance!  



12 Volt Heavy Duty Blender & Grinder



I'm STILL waiting to get in our Coleman products, and am starting to get quite irritated with them.  Our distributor has not been able to get any information out of Coleman or their rep -- who refuses to return their phone calls!  If this is the way we're going to be treated, I'm thinking that Coleman is NOT going to be in the distributor's catalog again!  It's ridiculous, the way they're being treated.  I really NEED to get those products in our store, and our phone calls are going nowhere . . . .

That's about it for now!  

Hope everyone has a normal day!
