Home Depot Garden Center still bare of plants in early March!

If anyone was wondering if the Home Depot Garden Center had much in the way of early plants, they do not. I stopped there on March the 7th to see if they had any 'earl' plants out yet and was disappointed to note that there was really nothing other than a display of bushes and young trees at this time.

I did find a few display racks of seeds and there were also some root crops on one side of the same isle. Still, they have not really begun to ratchet up yet this early on in the month. By the 20th or so, which happens to be the first day of spring, I'm sure this will all be changed.

Looking for some good leather? Go no further than Leatherworks Unlimited!

Then look no further than Leatherworks Unlimited located at 2815 West Hwy 76 in Branson Mo! A location that has been owned and operated by Tracy Davis for over 37 years! This venue is definitely the place for all your high quality leather needs.

Owner Tracy Davis

After stopping in to purchase a leather vest recently, I had a chance to talk with Tracy about his store. He offers a wide variety of leather goods, many of which are custom made by locals situated right here in Missouri. Some of his offerings include leather purses, jackets, wallets belts, belt buckles and even awesome looking hats all made from the finish leathers money can buy! But, what really surprised me was the great savings he is able to offer his customers!

Tracy is an avid supporter of organizations like FORR which stands for Freedom of Road Riders! He was able to supply me with the classic eagle patch that adorns the backs of many member’s jackets! Wow!

This location opens at 11AM and I’m not sure what time it closes, so you might want to call them at (417) 334-0775 before heading out! Make sure you tell Tracy that DanO sent ya!

The Country Mart Breakfast Nook!

Prices effective Mar 6, 2013

While shopping at a local grocery store located in Forsyth MO on a chilly morning in early March, I stopped to talk with a friend named Shelia who works in the Deli section of the store. While we chatted, I noticed a section of the display case that contained containers of scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy. I inquired as to what they were for and was told that this Country Mart serves breakfast there every morning! Wow! What a novel idea! And, I thought, maybe I should try this out! Especially, considering the fact that the prices on their menu were much less expensive than what I had been paying at the other fast food and regular eating venues!

So, a few day later, I drove over there to see what was what. After perusing their menu for a moment, I ordered the scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage with coffee. My total cost a very modest $2.94! Wow! (When I dine at the more fancy venues, I generally will pay six or seven dollars for the same meal after the tip is figured in). At this venue, there is fast service, no tipping and great entertainment as you watch the early shoppers wander around. In other words, just my kind of place!

So, how was the food? Well, I can tell you that the scrambled eggs were near perfect, the sausage was a little dry and the hash browns definitely benefited from the addition of a packet of salsa from their well-stocked condiment section. Still, all in all, not too shabby.

The breakfast hours for the Country Mart are currently from 7AM to 10:30 each day. (For more information the store can be reached by calling (417) 546-2101). I highly recommend this rather unique venue for anyone who is looking for a good breakfast at hard to beat prices!

McDonald’s Drive thru problems!

A word to the wise. Check your purchases carefully if you do the drive through at McDonald’s in Forsyth. My order of a cheese burger and fries turned into two crispy chicken wraps in a drive through that had just three cars in the drive thru. This isn’t the first time this has happened either. I feel bad for the people that got my order instead of what they had ordered and even worst for anyone else out there that have also been subjected to such poor treatment.

There was a reason why I stopped going to this chain some years ago. Now I remember what it was very clearly. But, I'll also admit that their Corporate followup to my complaint was nothing less than superb!

Followup: After making somewhat of a fool of myself - with all the poor comments and all, I did get a letter from McDonald's Corporate that contained an apology and two coupons good for extra value meals. That was nice! Also, to their credit, I was asked to fill in a through questionnaire that explored the problem and the manner in which it was resolved. Most impressive!
