You got an amazing deal on the glass. That's too bad Sportsman's went out of business near you. I didn't know they were hurting, as they are pretty busy here in the Salt Lake Valley...Cabella's too. They are major go-to places. They have had problems with some douchebag who comes in there and slashes $200 backpacks with a palm-mounted razor or something. He was relentless for a while. I suspect animal rights > human rights activists at play.
Sportsmans expanded too fast, and ended up selling or closing all but their core business in Utah/Idaho and maybe Nevada. This happened about 18 months ago if I remember right.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
