A visit to Parker Store

We went to Richmond to visit a place that will produce new hydraulic hoses (put the correct ends on a new hose to replace a hose that is leaking). When we drove into the parking lot and were looking for the sign, Carl said, "The Parker Store, hoses while you wait!" He was making up the "hoses while you wait" part... but inside the store...

Welcome to the Parker Store, Hydraulic Hoses, Made While You Wait!

So, maybe Carl can see through the wall into the store?

The store actually had "AFP" on the outside, as well as "Parker Store" up on top -- we weren't certain that they were the same thing, but turns out that they are... "Applied Fluid Power, Inc."

All sorts of Parker Store logo'd merchandise if you wanted that and not just a new hydraulic hose!
