Went fishing a couple of days ago and of course lost as many flies as fish were caught. Since Cabelas was victimised by a hostile takeover, and Bass Pro has diminished the Cabelas warraty, I have stopped patronizing both stores. So, I stopped by Sportsmans Warehouse to refill my supply of flies. Wow! Half of the shelves are empty. Not ammo mind you, but Camping gear, and fishing gear and accessories. Why is the production or shipping of those kind of things affected by the problems of the times?
It's weird the number of diverse merchandise that's unavailable in connection to COVID-19. Just the other day, I was calling around local jewelry stores for a replacement watch band for the one that's worn out. They said their suppliers are all out of stock, and essentially not functioning right now. They said I should try getting a replacement band after the pandemic is over. Weird. When will that be?

TRH, I recently bought two of the canvas quick release one’s for my son from these guys... https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/Piece of cake all the way around. Arrived in the mailbox within a few days.

Barton makes really good watch straps. I have their NATO straps on all my wristwatches.
