Morning Lavas. Crossing my fingers that today is the day, it's expected delivery day but the location still says Champaign Il. Pretty sure it did the same thing last time. I feel pretty confident she will be here when I get home. 
Hope everyone has a lovely day!

I might try hooking up the laptop for refreshing next time. That sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't recommend preparing the pm too early though. That was my mistake the first sale I attended. I had the pm already to go so I would just have to hit the send button. But when I hit send I was informed that my pm had timed out so I had to recompose the pm. I still had the info on my clipboard so it was a simple matter of pasting and sending, but it still slowed me down.I just got my first tank this last sale - here is my strategy: 2 laptops, right hand refreshing right laptop on this page, left index finger on the send button on the left laptop on the private message page. PM composed and ready to send several hours early. Deep breathing, fiere focus, lots of positive energy and voila! It finally worked - I had tried twice before. Best of luck to you - I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, but it is so worth all the work and worry - this I already know!!
During the last sale I decided to create the pm 5 minutes before the sale was to begin. The sale actually started about 3 minutes early, which I thought was good since I just had to hit send. But it took forever for my pm to post due to ecf lag. I should have had a good chance that time, but I guess the stars weren't aligned right or something, lol. Actually, I think perhaps I was destined to wait until the next sale because I'm sure Jon is working on my perfect tank for the next batch.
Mornin' Lavacorps! Should be a lot of happy Lavacorps today, some tomorrow and some possibly later than that! Everyone all excited today? I sure am . . . Don't forget to post pictures!

Good Morning Corps!
If I had two computers for a sale I think I would refresh one and while it was lagging refresh the other one. I think the luck is when we hit refresh and - if - Jon's post comes up during that time.

i just checked track & confirm and it says that my package is in Ill. , still.....
Good morning corps. Just checked tracking at usps.com. Doesn't look like my tank will be here today. I don't ever get a delivery until it shows it cleared through the sorting center here in Maine, and I'm still showing that it departed IL, no update after that. Oh well, I guess tomorrow is my happy day.

I think USPS is still suffering from the holidays or something...I mailed 2 packages out on Tuesday, 1 to Arizona and one to another state close to there...the Arizona package was delivered yesterday and the other package shows nothing since it left the Lansing, MI. sort facility early am on the 4th...grrrrrrrr
Good morning debb!! Wonderful to see you!! Good morning lava corps. Wishing everyone a good Friday.
No - and the mailman's body is laying out by my mailbox....pretty awful...I really didn't mean to do it...it kind of just happened...
this made me about spit coffee all over my computer monitor ....
