I could be wrong but it looks to me like Bean is closing out Loon products. They had the Loon tungsten putty super cheap as well. -

I got very luck with my tying chair. My previous chair wasn't comfortable. 5 years back my employer relocated and down sized our office and that meant that we had a few dozen top quality office chairs with no where to go. I spend eight hours in these on most days and I knew they were great chairs. The president sent out an email that if anyone wanted a chairs to take some home. I grabbed one and still use it.

George- you can get a $10 UV light from Cabela's and I told they are even cheaper on Amazon. I had the $40 Loon Light and the only difference is that the cheap light uses 3 batteries instead of a single for the Loon and it takes a few seconds longer to cure the UV. Dean

LL Bean also has Loon Top Ride desiccant at half off. $4.99 a bottle. -
My wife has lane centering and I hate it. I have that dumba$$ auto shut off in my Jeep- the dealer told me it's now mandatory on new vehicles because it's saves fuel. I wonder if the fuel I'm saving by having the engine shut off each time I stop will cover the cost of a new starter?

You're not the only one VC- a 60 year old coworker of mine who is very tech savvy, inherited a brand 2023 Mercedes after his father in law passed. It's got all the new standard features and a few he can't guess at. The trouble is that it's still at his father in law's house because he can't figure out how to start it- even with the owners manual. Maybe it's got some type of facial recognition system like my iPhone? I told him to get to the dealership for some "training" before he accidently engages the antigravity warp converter and disappears forever. 😁

Bingo sir- I’ve caught a hell of a lot of trout on flies with substituted materials. As Norm’s signature used to say “the trout care less than we do“. Or is I like to say- if you can’t find hair from the chin of a juvenile male Sasquatch, Deer will do. Substituting materials is what fly tying fishing flies is all about.

Hi all, I’ve never used Aquel but I know people who say it’s their go to. Today I was in an LL Bean store and it looks to me like they are closing it out. From $7.95 to $1:99! I bought the last 2 off the shelf. Just thought I would put it out there for anyone who uses the stuff.
