I’m not sure if it got scanned wrong or it actually went there, but nothing surprises me.

I’ve had three packages from various places go to a hub in Toledo that has been shuttered for about ten years.

I thought, uh oh. But they showed up here after a tour of the tri state area.

Tracking is so wonky I don’t believe any of it these days. So much never gets even one update. But so far it’s all arrived.
Yeah that's the other part of it it never got scanned in like officially lol like I don't have a estimated delivery date on it so that makes it fun. I'm just going to watch it I'm not even going to call the people today because it'll just be annoying.

it does show up on my informed delivery which means at some point in time somebody put the address correctly because if they had gotten it even slightly wrong it wouldn't be showing up on my informed delivery so that makes me feel better hopefully it doesn't go to Australia because I don't think the e-juice is going to make it back lol

I do have some decent clothes but I never wear them because I always have some kind of dirty work to do. I always dress like ‘I’m here to do the lawn’.

in an effort not to look destitute I just bought 5 new hoodies. That’s one per season plus a good go-to-meetings hoodie.
I did not buy any in this year’s Pantone colors because style is never about following the crowd.
It's defo a man thing....I mean how long does it take to change your trousers :D

I bought myself a boiler suit so it doesn't matter now. Just slip it it on over any good stuff I'm wearing.... there's some irony in there somewhere I know :lol:

I was just wanting someone to explain the possible reasoning for this. does mail that goes from Las Vegas Nevada to Melbourne Florida ever go to an international shipping center in Jamaica New York for any reason other than they think that you live in Melbourne Australia and they're not paying attention to the zip code and they're about to send my package to another country?I mean I would imagine that they understand that the priority shipping rate that the business paid isn't nearly enough to get something to Australia lol or do packages that are domestic sometimes just go through international. As far as I can tell that is just an international hub not a place that domestic mail goes through but I could be completely wrong
The best explanation is that top-to-bottom USPS doesn't have any clue what they are doing. They are the most inefficient shipper in the business. If they had to compete with the likes of the Big Players (DHL, FedEx and UPS) USPS would have been driven out of the business years ago. After their extremely crappy service during the last year+ I would not be sad to see them go the way of the dinosaurs.

ETA: I've had many packages delivered via DHL, FedEx and UPS over the last few years. All arrived fast and tracking was always up-to-date. That includes during the pandemic. Meanwhile USPS, is a total and complete cluster-F.

ETA2: The U.S. Postal Service lost money in six out of the 10 years from 2001 through 2010, according to its financial reports. USPS net loss for 2020 was $9.2 billion, an increase of $363 million compared to 2019. Controllable loss was $3.8 billion, an increase of $334 million compared to the prior year.

Meanwhile... DHL, FedEx and UPS all recorded earnings in the billions during 2020.

I've had mail end up in the strangest places before. I've had land in Chicago then go to Ft Worth, just like it should, then leave Ft. Worth for Indiana for awhile, then go back to Ft. Worth before coming to me. I think your package just wanted to visit New York for a bit. I'd be surprised if it goes to Australia, but YNK.
And I have had mail that was going to Georgia, leave Georgia and go to New York before coming back. especially right now, there is no rhyme or reason with postal

So many comedians and funny posts in here today. I love the "here to do the lawn" saying. LOL.
OMG we are so much alike. I have and buy nice clothes, every once in a while, I think 'maybe for church or if I ever go out"
They hang in my closet, I live in about 4-5 different shirts, all black, 2-3 sweatshirt jackets, black, and either black short leggings or black Capri Leggings (if it is winter) I have had people ask me if I own long pants and I do but they get worn maybe 1-2 times in winter (for church lol) I am always dressed in the "I am here to do the lawn" look

Quick pop in to say hi.

Been a couple of rough days,yesterday the nurse didn't apply the correct pressure on the arteriovenous fistula after the dyalisis and my pops lost a ton of blood,gee it was gruesome...like the elevator scene in the Shining.

He is ok thou,we just spent the night at the hospital (he did lose a ton of blood) but they let him out this morning,so it's all good.
I did go back to the dyalsis center to reprimend the nurse thou,you could tell she was really sorry,she is not a bad person and she really needs this job so i didn't present a formal complaint.

I mean on the one side it is my pops and she screwed up...they got it in time but it could have been worst,on the other side well she is divorced,has 2 kids and a dead beat ex husband so i couldn't forgive myself if i got her fired so i spoke with the doc in charge and told him we were cool,just talk to her and tell her to be more careful.

Well anyway,back to vaping...waiting for the end of the month when i get paid so i can get me a Grus and another Hellvape Destiny,already got the color combo chosen and everything.

Did watch Jai Haze's review of the Juggerknot MR and dang it looks good,i am loving it but out of my budget for now so i will put it on hold but out of curiosity i looked for it in fasttech and found this:

$15.01 JuggerKnot Mini Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3/5ml / 304 stainless steel + glass / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

Anyone got one of these? just wondering if they any good.

That's about it,tired and with back ache from sleeping in those uncomfortable chairs they got at the hospital but i am back home and just chilling and listening to some music.

    Morning shinies ;)

    The best thing about working on a farm, and ending up covered in crap - is every day I'm dressed like 'I'm here to do the lawn' :thumbs:

    Grab it, it's well worth it. I've got this one, but it's discontinued:
    $19.99 JK Mini Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/4.5ml / stainless steel / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
    The MR is mainly a cosmetic upgrade: they increased the size to 25mm, shrunk the height, and gave it a more traditional top-fill. The deck is exactly the same in the Juggerknot Mini.

    I have a juggerknot mini that I have been using lately and love it except the filling. Even with the bubble glass it is nearly impossible to get it filled more than half way unless your juice is heavy PG.
    I have two MRs now and really like them. With the bubble it holds a lot of liquid (but is pretty wide). Picked them up direct from QP with some extra glass parts.
    The flavor on these are perhaps a bit better than my single coil Intakes which I have been using a long time. I highly favor top air flow RTAs since they are less messy and don't percolate while flying in a pressurized cabin.
