Man, I wonder (a little) if I'm ever going to launch this year!

I've been waiting on various backorders from various vendors at various times all spring - and these are not expensive items!

More signs the economy is still weak I suppose.

Yepper... I gotta say, it is a different world. Every time I get a product it was made different in a different batch. Suspect OEM companies are outsourcing to the lowest bidder every time. The rule of the day is make a few high end, and everything else, make it cheep.

Sure makes things unstable.

The tornadoes and floods have taken their toll on some supply-chains... A friend had a home renovation project messed up by the destruction of a couple of warehouses and plants in Huntsville, AL, and elsewhere. Then there's Japan... (Toyota is reporting a big quarterly loss.)

OJ, what do you need in order to launch? Maybe one of us has it in our spare parts bins.

Just ask -- I got plenty o stuff you might need.

By the way, talk about inventories.

I just picked up a nice Day/Night NICRO solar vent for $99 for <i>Passage</i> at West Marine last week. I got the flyer and the first day (Thursday) of the sale I called my buddy Pete and asked him to hold the 4" unit. NP he said and by Saturday morning, I had the last one in the store. &lt;Yee Haw&gt;
