With all the uncertainty COVID has brought, I’m not really able to buy much now. The Mrs. has been put on reduced hours. And anything extra is going into piecing together a workable home gym. Home gym equipment is one area that’s very hot now, it’s pretty hard to find anything, or lead times are long.
I needed a full size barbell which are like hen’s teeth now. I had this one in mind, and all I knew was they would be in sometime in the first half of May, and when they did come in they would sell out within 1-2 hours.
I got lucky, I did my daily check, and then felt like looking at eye candy for a bit, and by happenstance, circled back to the barbell. It was in suddenly in stock and thankfully the CC number was already in the system. As predicted a couple of hours later they were gone.
Thankfully my shave experience served me well as we all know a 2 hour window is huge when you want some Talbot soap. But then the two week window for when the product would be available was it’s own challenge, I wasn’t even ready to seriously start looking yet.
