I’m running to my lfs after I leave work, I need salt. If I can act like an adult and leave with just salt there is a little something something that I’ve been eyeing even before the hammer offer. Am I getting this right, just place an order and I automatically get the hammer or is there a code that needs to be entered?

Just place the order! I did "thank them" for the hammer in the notes section, but it was really just a reminder to them lol

No need to fill me in on the Iguana juice, @tbrown . I saw the posts concerning it.

Speaking of Iguanas, the one I thought I had banished is back. One last thing to try before a more serious method.

Phew the weather is being very rude again! I managed to give Leo a bath by Dottie will just have to wait because even with wetting myself with the cold water from the hose it was miserable out there...

I did not see that. Kroger’s were in Columbus but none up here. Rulli bros., one of the owners, Mike Rulli is a Ohio representative in congress, fun fact.
You don't have Kroger's? They were in the Cleveland area and there was a big storage warehouse in Pittsburg. I used to go to the warehouse in Pittsburg twice a year to buy up retired cash registers to refurbish.

Not all Krogers are called Krogers either. Fry's, Smith's, Smitty's, Food Club... They own like 100 stores.
