    This affecting anyone else? We're down to 3 days of production a week. It's been going on since July. We were able to keep running by trucking and air freight, but some of our container ships are still off the coast waiting to be unloaded. These should already be on their way back from Japan.

    Maybe America will start producing instead of relying on cheap Chinese junk.
