Cold is the air and sharp to the nose.

Biting through wool and onto covered skin

Azure blue and gray steel

Withered arms of trees ripple against the sky

Dark and somber without the softening of leaves

But joyously dart the sparkles of sun

Bringing with them the silent tremble of thunder

The wonder of creation

Enfolded in the sounds of winter.

We have fun...

....All the time. Thursday is stocking day and we have just about the best crew in the USA...And I'm not just saying that because two of the stockers are related to me.... Look he came out of his office....

But don't let Larry fool you...he isn't really working.
However Tivoli is....see the sweat just drip off her brow?

Teresa is a transplanted Cali...However she wasn't BORN a Cali and that makes alllll the difference.

You need it? We've got it.


For those who didn't grow up in the Northwest there is a vague understanding of the huckleberry. They don't understand the sense of anticipation that starts around mid July, the hands twitching as they limber up to grasp buckets; as the huckleberry pickers start getting out their camping things and heading to the hills to stake out favorite hunting grounds.
The magic is coming and you had better hurry to be a part of it. Perhaps this year (you transplants from other lesser-places) is the year you will come to a place of being one with the huckleberry. Get up get out and try for the mountains, climb those steep hights, slide down those ravines and step on that wasps nest. And as you gaze on your bucket brimming with purple-red berries peace will wash over your soul and the aching muscles will relaxe.

But if in your hurry you run out to the woods unprepared don't worry Pro X is here. We have many of the things you need to carry out a successfull berry raid.
Buckets, Bug spray, Charcoal briquettes, Lighter fluid, Tarps, Rope, Matches, Wasp and Hornet spray. And the best of all? Metal screen sold by the foot. To make your very own berry cleaning slide!!

Sale?

Railroad ties are on sale at Pro X. REALLY on sale.

If you buy one whole unit of #2 railroad ties, they cost $8 each; two units, $7.50 each; three units, $7 each, and there are 20 pieces per unit. Sounds pretty good eh? But it gets even better, if you mention you're reading our blog and saw this post we'll knock ANOTHER .25 cents off!

So that would make the first unit $7.75, the second $7.25 and the third $6.75 a piece.

To put these prices in the proper perspective, normally you would pay $9.75 per tie.


Now perhaps you are thinking to yourself "I don't really NEED any railroad ties. I live in an apartment, what would I do with them?" But these are just confusing negative thoughts that you must let go of. Instead start thinking positive! Such as "Which garden fanatic's birthday is coming up? And wouldn't they just love a load of ties."


Or, possibly you've always been meaning to finish that dog house you started in 6th grade shop, and here is your chance. Then you can convince your wife this is fate opening the door for you to buy that mastif you've always wanted. Since now you'll have an appropriate sized dog house in which to keep him.

And just maybe, it's always been your dream to have a huge pile of ties to gloat over. This is it, now is the time to fullfill that dream.

And the winner is....

By sheer, dogged perseverances a triumphant Logan Reichart became Pro X Home Center's spring winner of a whopping $1000.00 dollars!

I say "with dogged perseverance" because every morning he diligently put his name in the box. Even when he might have been worn out, or the coffee hadn't hit yet, he never shirked his duty. But picked up that pen and paper, yet again, and wrote down his name. All at the formidable risk of contracting a raging case of carpel tunnel of the wrist too.
However, he came though unscathed and now is most likely jubilantly planning how best to use the prize.
Congratulations Logan, we look forward to seeing you in the store.


Sorry Larry, you had to be in yet one more photo...
