Wife just went through a zip code error made by a local PO. Package ended up getting bounced from VA to NY over a 6 week period. We could "see" it, we could not "stop" it.
Unbelievable.
Good morning!!!!

Checking in-
Spring comes all at once around here, and I really have to stay focused on getting the garden in and lawn maintenance started. I've been getting up before sunrise to walk the dog in the early morning light when the temperature is better tolerated by Brogen. Right now he's a panting, shedding, speed bump.
Wednesday was HHH and essentially wasted day traveling 24 miles east of here for a pharmacy run down to the “Big City”, returning home, and then traveling 24 miles west ( to get a new rider mower battery. At least I had decent A/C. I did manage to mow part of the lawn for bird watching and a walking path around the lower perimeter to mess with the ticks.
Thursday was another HHH day, but I did plant more seed in the garden and mulched more of the garden with hoarded cardboard boxes. I could be a chewy.com® advertiser.
And today - A humid overcast 67ºF with light fog/drizzle (0.02” reported) for this morning’s low temperature. A hot and humid 81ºF presently and with enough sunshine this afternoon maybe a T-storm will percolate up. And tonight some much needed rain showers.
Phase 1 of the garden is done. I am concentrating my garden layout similar to the square foot gardening recommendations for plant spacing = I use a tape measure to plant seeds and some seeds are too freakin' small for shaking old hands, but it's done. I will keep the repotted tomatoes unplanted until after the next shot of cold 40ºF mornings with the next cold front next week. Next week I should be done until my Fall planting.
Billy- Yes that was a garter snake. It’s around 12” long.
Drew- Welcome back!!!! At least you and the docs now know what is happening and my + thoughts, wishes, and prayers that your treatment is successful. Let the realtors earn their commissions.
Ted- Nice job as usual.
I really enjoy the pics, vids, stories, and projects posted here. I much rather read what goes on here than the "news."
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Extremely spoiled.
Yup ... a friend calls it "the 10x factor" ... you can pretty much figure that on any given project it will end up taking 10x whatever you initially assumed/estimated it would take ...
Just hope it doesn't end up being as involved as RNG's little bushing project turned out to be.
(Note to self: check loader frame welds for cracks ...)

Yeah ... just an FYI: Terri (from the local PO that services my address) while explaining what she intended to do (make some calls to the main PO handling the re-routing) confided to me to me that she did not want to do an "package intercept" due to the costs involved.
At that point I told her that the package contained over $150 worth of parts I was waiting on to repair a piece of equipment and if they got sent back to the shipper I was going to be a really unhappy camper ... so hopefully it will show up tomorrow.
I think I spoke to her previously on another instance of a package mis-delivery ... and she handled that, so I'll give her a shot ... :thumbsup:
In any event, not a real big deal if doesn't show up for a few days (wasn't supposed to be delivered till Monday)... no way I'll be ready for that soon anyways.

My haircut lady came to the house and gave us all haircuts earlier. Out on the front porch, and we all wore masks. I gave her a good tip.
Getting ready to storm. Wind was blowing so hard I went looking for a funnel. Didn’t see one, but thunder is booming and lightning is flashing.

Right after my late wife passed, the post office lost a garage door opener motor. First thing they told me was it probably fell behind a table. I asked if they’d ever seen one. After six months they reimbursed me.
