Who knew?
So I cut a deal with the better half to move the living room couch to the 'Cassita' AKA 'horns/tubes/vinyl' man-cave and she gets a new one for the living room.
But it has to be a 'nice' one made in North Carolina and expensive and, and, and.
OK, we've done nothing and spent no real money over the last year, even giving away our stimulus money and STILL have a bank account and I do need furniture in the man-cave, but....
Due to the 'big freeze' in Texas, many of the refineries are shut down. Seems all of these expensive, German made 'valves' froze up and many cracked. They take forever to get proper replacements (and the German factories are slow due to the COVID) so no chemicals means no foam.
And the cushions on couches (even expensive ones made in North Carolina) need FOAM!
20 week lead time for the one we're looking at and others are over half a year.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
