Reorganizing

the campground store, that is. I told Betty we needed to have a planning session about how to reorganize the store. She said, I'm really bad at that; just do whatever you want.

Well, oookkkaaayy, I said. And proceeded to do just that. It's not a big store but it sure is messy. Nothing was done at the end of the season so everything is still hanging around. Literally. There's lots of clothing that needs to be gone through before new inventory is ordered. There's $200 sunglasses. There's little kids arm floats. And everything in between.

So everything is in upheaval right now, including the fixtures, which I'm rearranging as well.

And, nothing is computerized so there's no running inventory and no way to tell what has or hasn't sold. I've offered to set up an Excel speadsheet to do some tracking. She said others have done that but she doesn't use them. No sense setting it up unless it'll get used.

JR and I went on an errand to the "big city" of Leakey, about 15 miles north, to get some supplies. There's lots of these river area camps along the way. The town itself is about a mile long and 1/4 mile wide, but it has two hardware stores (both were out of one of the things we were supposed to get); two restaurants, an art gallery etc etc. JR says it rolls up the sidewalks about 8pm. There are two motorcycle repair shops as the area gets large amounts of bikers; both shops also have beer/wine cafes (yeah, Jeb, let's stop in here and get our bike fixed and have a few for the road).
