It’s time once again for some new products at Hill Hardware.  I’ve said before that we are always adding new things, and that’s for sure as I am rapidly falling behind in writing up the new ones.  I’ll just have to keep writing and do the best I can.  Here’s the latest installment. The first

It seems like sometimes I just have the luck (bad that is).  I suppose that everyone feels like that sometimes, and this week it was just my turn.  I wrote before about my buddy Lou’s new fishing boat up in Geneva.  It’s been running fine since we played musical batteries in it a couple weeks
