OK, I used to really love it that I live 2 miles from my local Lowes. But no more. About half the times I go there to get something I got from them several times in the recent past, THEY DON'T HAVE IT. And it is not "pandemic out of stock", more like they just quit stocking them. I wish I was closer to Home Depot or a big Ace store. In this case a 1/2" NPT garden hose adapter. Ordered on Amazon, will be here tomorrow. Why do I leave my house, waste a half gallon of gas and a half hour of my time going to Lowes? I need to just stop.
