    The window sticker showed a $50 credit for that "missing" piece. :rolleyes:

    I picked up new glasses the other day after I lost the old ones. I have a couple of frames that I cycle through and have new lenses made for, and over the past year I've lost 2 pairs (I've never lost glasses before.) So I got new frames, meaning I have to get clip-on sunglasses to fit them.

    I've been buying them online at Clip-onSunglasses.com for the past many years. You can measure your lenses yourself, or scan your eyeglasses next to a quarter (for scale) and send them the pic so they can tell you which ones will fit. These guys sell a wide variety of sizes & shapes, and I get non-polarized lenses so I can see the Heads-Up Display on my car.

    Coffee. I've been watching reports of nimrods frantically buying toilet paper (our national crisis response) and thinking that even though TP is made in the USA, most coffee comes here on a boat. I decided to order some before it goes to $45 a pound.

    Thanks. I just place an order for my drug of choice. For some reason I've been drinking more coffee than normal lately.

    I've been reading that the stores are sold out of bottled water, and I've been avoiding my softened water lately. THAT can't be imported, can it? Freight would be a killer.

    Of course bottled water isn't imported (unless you mean Perrier or Evian), but people are morons so they are dragging it out of Walmart by the truckload.

    I ordered a portable size Blackstone griddle. I have wanted a Blackstone for years but never pulled the trigger. I like that this one is a small (17") size so I can manage it to move it around. It uses the small propane bottles that are available at a lot of stores so I need to go buy a couple.

    I had a full supply of small (1 pint) vacuum seal bags, and discovered that 2 paks from the same manufacturer (Avid Armor) had perhaps 20% good bags and 80% defective bags. I bought these a year ago so there's no getting my money back. It stinks because the brand I've used for many years only sells the vacuum material on rolls and not pre-made bags. So I ordered bags from another brand I've tried, plus some supplements.
