Awesome song, Wharf! I am a defiant child!! It rained/snowed for about 10 minutes, then the sun came out. I got another chunk of the mountain blasted.

Thanks for the coil link too, that really looks handy

Yay on the found package, Salem! At least it finally made it to the right hands.

Morning everyone

((((Kgj!)))) Sure do miss having you here, and so glad to see you're at least lurking

Golly! So excited to see Kgj here, I forgot what else I was gonna say

Bov!!! I figured it out all by myself!! I know what you were going to say!! I even wrote it down!!

You were going to say ................

"TT's a chic magnet!"

That's right isn't it? I knew it!! I knew I'd figure out what you were going to say!!

I'm just so smart.

I'll probably have to leave my brain to science!

Up into the 40s today!!!! Almost makes losing an hour of sleep ok. Spring is coming!!!!

Wow you guys!!!

I just looked out the window and its snowing like crazy here in Yeast Texas!!

Just look at all that snow falling down!!! Wow!!!

Oh .......... never mind.

Its not snowing.

Its just my old black and white television set.

I have the antenna out there on the porch and I guess the dogs have been chewing on the antenna wire again.

Its just that black and white television "snow."

Oh, I forgot to update about the package that I sent to FL. It showed delivered but the person that I sent it to never got it. He finally found it about a week later when he went to his PO and raised hell about it. It was at the PO!!!! Said delivered but, they had it

What part of Fl was that Salem? Anywhere near Orlando? Just askin because that's where most of me and a few others are having trouble.

It is Jacksonville. He is still missing 4 other packages. I have had issues coming out of Tampa too though. That was the hub that my package that took the detour to Amarillo, TX came from. I have heard from people all over the country having issues with USPS though. The girl that never got her package from me is in VA. I was in a coop with a friend from WA and he never got his package. They were able to file a claim for that one though. The people at my local PO told me to use signature confirmation in the future. That would be the only way to dispute a package that tracking says delivered but, was not delivered to the right person. It has to be due to the cuts that USPS made.

Salem, sometimes I wonder if a lot of this isn't deliberate.

The snail mail problems are well known and they claim its because they are short on people because of reductions, but the goobermint tax folks had personnel cuts too. I've some some paperwork with them that should have been responded to late last year and to date have heard nothing.

I can't help but wonder sometimes if these situations aren't an deliberate act to "get even" with the American public in response to the personnel cuts they went through.

Just something I've wondered about.

I'm a legend in my own mind!!!

 

[TexasT]

Good night sweet FranC and thanks for leaving the lights on tonight!

Have a good nights rest!

 

[Bovinia]

My latest package has left the Springfield Mass hub, so should be here tomorrow. It came from Colorado

Nice score on the tinted back glass, Dee! I need to bring me car down there and let you help me rebuild it. Can a 2003 Hyundai Accent be pimped out?

Sweet dreams Fran

 

[El Dee]

One of my usual yards had the glass but the weatherstripping was just a little weathered....it would work though....decided to check some more....it was 45...So I head on over too the high dollar yard the next day...never will they give you a firm price at the gate...pull it and bring it back...Free labor for them as there is one heck of a lotta parts that were left and not purchased...I've walked off on stuff before....Told I had 30 minutes before closing to find and remove whatever I needed....and there are thousands of cars and trucks....Luck with the Dee....I'd looked at 20 Rangers and close but no cigar...Then there you go....Winner!!!!!! Looks kick azz too.....and .....Hopefully it won't leak......got the third brake light installed as well....LED!!!! Thought that was what was leaking and still believe it was contributing...Then after all that hustling Spike and I took her down the road and tested it out....It's all good !!!!!!!!

They kept telling me how busy they were and how the new stuff was causing it. I told them I'd make sure they weren't quite as busy in the future. I know several postal workers and they're ticked that they have to work harder.

We're on the same page there Tex. If that is in fact the case they're pooping in their own cereal bowl. If it were to go private they'd have to perform with a lot less benefits and get it right or hit the bricks. Right now there's nothing I can't get another way. Mail order has been convenient until recently. Nothing convenient about what I've been going through for the last few months. I'm done with it until it either gets better or goes belly up.
