It's a Dog's Life

This is Charlie, Raine’s mascot. He loves coming to work with John, Raine’s President, and hanging out with all of us.   When John is out of the office, Charlie’s favorite hobby is to nap on my lap/desk.  Even the ringing of the telephone will not disturb him.  He just snuggles up in the blanket and sleeps, while I am on the phone or working on the computer.  Now when he hears the front door open – that is another story!  He jumps up to see if it is John coming back in.  If it is, down he goes and back to John’s office for some more attention and maybe another nap.

Raine Inc. does not manufacture any dog or pet related products, but we do offer a wide variety of products for their owners. For a complete list of Raine’s products, go to http://raineinc.com.  Be sure to also check out our Closeout section for some great deals!

April Special Operation Conference

On April 25-26, Raine Inc. will be represented in El Paso, TX for the SOG/MWR show.  This event is primarily for special operators from law enforcement agencies in the southwest part of the country.

It is one day of exhibiting products on Ft. Bliss and a second day showing product at the shooting range on Camp MacGregor.  There is a high number of attendees from the border patrol, and we have a new flashlight holster for them to see.  While we’re there, we  will also spend some time visiting the stores on Ft. Bliss.  If that was all we could do on the trip, it would be worthwhile just to be able to personally tell them “Thank you” for the business they send us.

Today is National Peach Cobbler Day!

To celebrate, we'll share with you Regena's personal recipe:

Regena’s Peach Cobbler

porbital

2 cups of sliced fresh peaches  

¼ teaspoon of nutmeg

2 cups of sugar (divided)

½ cup of butter (not margarine)

¾ cup of flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

A pinch of salt

¾ cup of milk

 

Heat oven to 350º.  Mix the peaches with 1 cup of sugar and nutmeg then set aside.  Put the butter in a 9” square cake pan or preferably a medium cast iron skillet and put in the oven to melt.  In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and milk.  Mix until smooth.  Pour this over the melted butter.  DO NOT STIR!  Top this with the peaches and again -DO NOT STIR!  It is key that you do not mix any of the layers together.  The batter will rise to the top during baking.    

Put in the oven and bake at 350º for about an hour or until golden brown.  Serve with some homemade vanilla ice cream or some fresh whipped cream. 

Let us know what you think of the recipe.

It's National Farm Animals Day this Week

Raine Inc. does not miss a year without celebrating National Farm Animals Day. It was not long ago we had a problem with chickens interfering with our air condition compressor. The chickens would escape from our neighbor’s coop and head for our compressor. We do not know why they liked the compressor, whether the heat or noise, the result was feathers sucked onto the compressor. I love chickens but I do not like a hot office.   

The neighbor is gone and the chickens are gone, but Raine’s enthusiasm for National Farm Animals Day is still as strong as ever.

Upcoming April Conferences

In April, I will be attending two shows to showcase Raine Inc.’s products.  The first will be the Marine South Expo at Camp LeJeune April 11-12.  This is a smaller version of the Modern Day Marine show Raine participates in September.  I always am pleased to visit Camp LeJeune.  We do our largest volume of Marines business at the stores on that base.  Some of the store managers I have known since my early days at Raine.  We have all had those moments when something happened that we will always remember where we were.  I was just exiting the main gate at LeJeune when the “OJ” verdict came out.  I look forward to spending time talking with our brave Marines.

The next show is for the Special Ops branch of the U.S. Border Patrol.  We will be showcasing a new holster for the Border Patrol Streamlight LED flashlight to show them so I am anxious to get there.  It will be at Ft. Bliss April 25-26.
