Is it normal for USPS tracking to not show anything beyond the origin PO when it is an APO?

my one experience (with a package for a certain someone APO) was that I got tracking up to acceptance at the destination sorting facility.

It's a hit and miss thing. I've had orders from MBV get tracking every step of the way, and I've had stuff only get electronic notification, then just show up 7-10 days later with no updates until I've already picked it up.

It almost like you could have a betting pool to see if there will be tracking updates.

Not sure if it's because it's going APO and USPS doesn't care, or it might just be because people working didn't scan it through.

Fun fact: The slot in my firing pin was pointing a random direction. Today when I swapped out the battery I depressed and turned the button aiming the slot directly at the juice feed assembly.

It now hits noticeably harder, not that it was weak before. I keep it, the battery tops / bottoms and brass positive contact clean by rubbing them with a pencil eraser every few days.

Just droppin that sometimes just an innocuous turn / change up of the contact surface can noticeably increase the efficiency of the contact (or vice versa). Remember, I didn't loosen it, I simply rotated the black button to reorient the slot :)

Mark seems quite knowledgeable and I would definitely heed his advice. However, just because he says a particular wood is difficult to work with, doesn't mean I can't do it. There's certainly more risk involved in fabricating a piece like that; but risk isn't always failure. We shall see.

I'm crossing my fingers... I don't know if I could tell my wife that a man was drilling my box and my wood broke with a straight face!

And to answer the question: i'm in run 3, so we will know soon if ancient bog oak works... I have faith in the bumble bee.

Wishing/hoping the best for you! I really like that ancient oak business and would definitely like it for my second OliveR... which I'm guessing run #12 will be late 2015 lol That's ok though, I'm in run #3 too so its almost happy dibi-dabber time!

Found the secret turbo mode huh? :2cool:

Seriously though, I have found the same thing. I filed 1/2 a gnats whisker off the blind screw and that kepts it a bay longer.

I am waiting at my front door for the mailman like garfield. My glass blue dibi is out for delivery and on its way here.

I just wish the new mailman was as routine as the last one was (then it would have been here all ready).

no the DNA 30 goes from 7 to 30 watts and a max of 10 amps. other than more power the big improvement was allowing coils as low as .5 ohms.

At that rate you might as well just pour 120mls on your head and stick your finger in a light socket. ;)
