We were in there once or twice a month getting solder and random assortment of components for little home projects we had going. The workers also knew how to help and always had suggestions for the projects we were doing. I remember the day we (grandpa and I) went into the store and realized it wasn’t the same anymore. Only a small selection of components and the whole front was full of RC cars and random expensive electronic gadgets nobody asked for. We only went back once or twice, but it became evident that we can’t find what we were looking for there anymore. We started sourcing our parts from overseas vendors for fractions of a cent per unit, but we had to buy in bulk. We stopped doing those small projects because it was taking too long to get components and the cost was out of hand with thousands of unused components in boxes in the project room taking up space. Well, made myself sad for the morning.

No, but in the area we were in at the time it was mainly flat-bottomed aluminum boats. All of them were similar sizes, so pretty generic plugs.

Grandpa always had 3-5 in the glovebox of his truck. One would always get left somewhere or someone at the boat launch would be swearing about missing theirs and he’d give them one. Just one of those things you have to keep around.

That was the end of the roll. It wasn’t a continuous loop, just 100-ish feet of towel that they needed to wash periodically.

I know it’s a shitpost. I still had to look it up. Honestly couldn’t remember when this happened.

There are extensions that make those kinds of thing disappear permantly. Life has been hood since enabling that.
