Hi Steve,

I live in a rural farming community in the Pacific NW. This morning I went to our local battery shop to buy a replacement, heavy duty commercial battery for my backhoe. The long time small business owner sold me one of his last batteries of this kind. He mentioned that he was not sure how long he could keep his business open given what appears to be a complete lack of inventory in the supply chain. In my opinion, this is one more indication that we are out of time and everything is in play. Time to hunker down for the storm. F,M.
