I am hard to impress when it comes to pocket knives. Very reasonable prices for brick and mortar store, often seeing people charging a lot closer to msrp and higher in Seattle. Go get a sick spyderco pm2 in cruwear with canvas micarta, or maybe the salt serious pm2 in glorious magnacut! Or just a mora if you need an amazing 20$ knife. Best part of the store? Definitely be the weirdo Joe M. In the back of the house, that guy is hilarious. Maybe one of the best people I've met.

I was impressed by the variety of rooms/themes this place holds - perhaps my favorite was the bright (and warm!) cactus room which was refreshingly well-lit during these grey winter months.

I also tried the seasonal eggnog latte at the food truck parked outside, which was flavorful and really hit the spot.

So I went to Ace hardware in Bellingham and talked to an older gentleman that I felt should know their products. I told him that I needed a blower vacuum to suck up leaves. Now I figured he would realize that the leaves were wet since it was raining. He showed me the Toro blower vacuum and he said his brother in law has this and it works great. I took it home and started to try and suck up wet leaves and it kept getting clogged. I finally gave up. and just raked the leaves. The clerk never did tell me that this has a mulcher and works best with dry leaves. I have a blower vacuum that just sucks up anything at home. I went to return it, because it wasn't doing what I was told it would and since I don't live there, I couldn't wait for the leaves to dry. I was told by the same guy that sold it to me and one of the younger clerks that I can't return it. They gave me all kind of excuses and I finally gave up. I will never shop there again. I would not have had this head ache if I had gone to Home depot or Lowes. At least they know what they are selling.
