Made in America

I went shopping for some furniture for the garage project recently. Some things for the media room upstairs. First couple of stops were met with mostly junk so the wife and I headed to one of the newer, nicer furniture stores here locally. As soon as we hit the door someone was there to show us around. Told her we already had purchased some lower end furniture for the house that was junk and needed to be replaced after just a few years so I wanted a good quality product this time. Found a sleeper sofa that looked good but was the wrong color so I asked what was involved in getting the color of my choice. Without missing a beat, she says that that would involve waiting on another shipment from China. It was just one of those WTF moments as the thing was priced pretty damn high for being Chinese crap. Somewhat disgusted, I went in search of a store that sold La Z Boy products. Nothing in stock to look at there so we made plans to look in Houston while going gun safe shopping this weekend.

We rolled up to the La Z Boy store in NW Houston and were met by a lady who was retired Army. Took us straight to some top quality stuff, a sleeper sofa that was actually comfortable. Had an air mattress, US made and what color and fabric would you like? And the chairs and the rug you like? Here it all is, the fabric and leather choices and let me show it all to you here on the computer in your color choices. All that was made here in the US as well. 8-12 weeks, maybe sooner and it will delivered to me 100 plus miles from their store. So far I'm tickled shitless. Just bummed it was so difficult to find something locally yet so easy to find it in Houston.

Off we went to look at safes. Ended up with a US made Champion, not one of their lower end, Mexican prison inmate ones. All I've ever heard about safes was that it will never be big enough. So it's a big one, more room for more guns....
