    Completely understand, look at Yeti , top quality product, made in China, I’m a Simms fan, fortunately no problems, but not many hours on them, US made. Technology advances, drives up cost and preformence , frustrating but better than my old rubber waders

    Here's where the problem is, I also have the same problem with hunting boots that are made in China that use the same rubberized components, mostly Rocky, and of course the ones that are affected the most are my favorites!
    Like I posted earlier, I use shoe GOOP or E6000 to patch them up, I'm starting to prefer the E6000 and just picked up a fresh supply!

    Car to the body shop 3+ weeks ago. Haven't heard a peep. May call them today. Don't want to irritate anyone. I've used this same shop forever. Always top notch... and we do have a loner. Wifey says I'm impatient, won't drive the loner, says it's crapola. It's brand new! Given the state of the economy, they're probably down to a skeleton crew. Delima. Does this crapola happen to everyone, or is it just me? In their defense, they said the new bumper came in damaged... had to send it back, get another. At least that's the story. :facepalm:

    Afternoon all:

    :woot:Husky floor liners arrived today, took about a week and a half from the time I ordered them, I can live with that even though RAPID SHIP-SHIPS TODAY isn't entirely accurate! :rolleyes:
    Ordered the X-Act fit and they do fit well and are nice liners, think I will be satisfied with them.

    Good morning. Just heard yesterday, as car parts increase in price expect auto insurance to increase. You can bet once the cost goes up it will not come down. Almost ready for Easter Dinner. We will have 15 for dinner this year. some family members are out of town and in one case working. She is a nurse.

    Taking a guitar back to Guitar Center today. Son bought a guitar, and the bridge has cracked between the pegs and almost to the ends of the bridge. 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee, we shall see. He purchased it 2 weeks ago.

    Going to frog 2 chickens and season then for dinner tomorrow. Making up a rug and glaze for the ham. Today will be busy.
