If ever a post deserved an optimistic rating :D



Ugh, don't get me started with the mail lady.... Our post office has one of those mini vans, an old one... It has a loud exhaust and rattles and she has a lead foot, you can hear her gunning it up the hill, almost slides to a stop just long enough to throw the mail in the box then she mashes the throttle to the floor and off she goes to the next box, she beats the hell out of that thing. Remember the mail man in the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm? Yeah, like that.....

At least the package got delivered. Gotta worry about people who follow USPS and delivery truck routes and steal your packages from your porch.

The local USPS near me throws packages around HARD right in front of you while you're waiting in line to ship something. They don't care, lol. They know you're not going anywhere else to ship an item, kinda like your local cable/internet company. You're stuck, lol.

However, I'm pretty sure Mike has packaging down pat. It would be tough for USPS to completely destroy one of his double wrapped and boxed co-op packages!

Our letter carrier always puts packages on top of the fence, right next to the driveway gate. Sort of a ledge there the way the fence is built. Unfortunately, she failed the "drive in reverse test" and always digs grooves in the driveway when backing out. She also leaves all the other mail in the mailbox. Go figure, although that way I get to see the fresh tire grooves.

Have't looked at the temp, it's just a number, it's hot and muggy again today. I can't understand how weather dot com always shows my area with a lower temp in the summer, they must have put the base station in my area at the lowest point in the valley under a tree next to a river. Maybe they have a guy who lives in a trailer down by the river (SNL) who monitors the weather for them, I should have that job.

So anyone who wants to run with this idea and make a ton of money please do and let me know where I can buy it! Someone please make an AC unit with a bluetooth temperature sensor that I move around and set next to me! I'm so sick of having to constantly play with the setting to maintain a comfortable stable temperature, it's either too cold or to hot, every half hour I have to adjust it.

Ya know, I've never understood why room air conditioners still used the same old, tired, bulb thermostat system. It's too close to the evaporator coil, is effected by the coil and, worse yet, effected by the overall temperature of the machine. A simple RF or BlueTooth thermostat would work so much better. What makes it really frustrating is that they've added "programmable" remotes for functions but left the same old, crappy, POS, thermostat stuck on the unit.

They have them now that are connected to wifi, with an app you can access the AC unit from your phone from another room or while away from home, but yet they can't make a separate temp sensor...... Even if they put it in the remote that would be better but really I'd like to see one you can set where you want it.

BTW, after the talk about the 20700B's the other day I vaped 3 of my mods with 8ml Italian bottles all the way empty and checked the battery voltages. All 3 were at 3.73V. The 18650 HG2's I was using before the 20700B's would be at 3.54V. That is a considerable difference in usable battery energy left.
