Same here I'm currently not working on cars much but I do have a friend with a shop down the road. He told me last week that when a customer comes in to schedule normal service work (timing belts water pumps etc) that you normally just go get the parts for, they have check on parts availability before they put the car on the schedule.

I've been working on getting a standby whole house generator for the new house. Right now it looks like everybody is back ordered till the end of Oct/Nov.

I did some water line work a month or 2 ago, the stuff I usually just walked into the box stores to picked up ended up being sources thru the internet because the shelves were pretty bare in spots with no idea on when new stock would come in.
