Baker Ace Hardware

Norris and Kay are excitedly awaiting Hurricane Harvey after it finishes with Texas. Only been in SC a few weeks now and wondering if they should sand bag their new house!

A Happy and Safe Memorial Day to all our customers and friends! We salute our past veterans, especially our own Jim, Karleen and Norris.

Norris and his wife are heading to SC and a snow free retirement! May be the last time we are all together. Thanks for the pic Tim, all mine turned out poorly, at best.

Friends don't let friends rent Penske. Or Budget trucks for that matter! Call us and see if we can't give you a better deal for your move! Yes, this is another shameless plug.

We're ready for the summer moving rush. Let US help you get ready too. Trucks, trailers, boxes and all the little things you might need to make your move as painless and inexpensive as possible.

Brayden was working hard at Cathedral church fish fry tonight!

It seems the Hardware Gods may be conspiring against us. This is the prediction for Monday, the day of our much anticipated "We May Be Closed But That Can't Stop Our Christmas Party" party. To all the employees, Dave and I will be monitoring the situation closely, probably over cocktails and appetizers someplace, tomorrow and Monday, and may have to postpone the gala. We will let everyone know as early as possible, so if someone calls you with very slurred speech, it's just us.

** Significant Snow POSSIBLE Sunday Night-Monday Night, But There Is Still Time For The Forecast to Change! **

Fortunately, other than a little light freezing drizzle or flurries mainly this morning, there is not expected to be much in the way of measurable precipitation today. The biggest story today will likely end up being strengthening north-northwest winds behind a passing cold front, with sustained speeds this afternoon and evening up around 30 MPH at times, with gusts to around 40 MPH. Tonight, parts of mainly North Central Kansas could see a light dusting of snow, but for the most part precipitation-free conditions will continue right on through Sunday across the local area.

Attention then turns to the Sunday night through Monday night time frame, which has the potential to feature a somewhat significant snow event across the region. Although it is still a few days away and is certainly subject to some forecast changes between now and then, it currently appears that the local area could receive generally 2 to 7 inches of snow, most of which is expected to fall during the day Monday. The higher amounts are currently expected to favor eastern portions of the area, such as the Highway 81 corridor from Columbus to Hebron and southward into north central Kansas, with lesser amounts out west toward places such as Lexington, Arapahoe and Phillipsburg.

Beyond this potential snow-maker, precipitation-free conditions are expected to prevail during most of the Tuesday through Friday time frame next week. However, December will continue to end on a rather cold note, with daytime highs mainly only reaching the 20s for the next several days.

As the Christmas season approaches, we think back to how we all loved this season of ice melt, shovels, hand warmers and snow throwers. But we also have come to realize there is something else we all miss. FREE calendars! If anyone would like to donate a nice 2016 calendar to an old employee or 2, let me know. Delivery would be nice, but I can arrange pick-up.

Found this the other day. Has the N 9th St address on the label. Wonder who may have touched it at some point. Dave? Jim Johnson? Roseanne?

Shameless promotion.

I had thought I was doing pretty good getting out for a bike ride in the evening for some exercise, until today. I happened upon Tim walking to work this morning! Good for you Tim. That has to be a pretty good hike from your house.

Well I was worried about where I might park for football games, but I kind of like this new spot right across the street from the stadium!
