Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

I haven't experienced any unreasonable deliveries since this started for Prime items. I have found a few things I could buy elsewhere for lower cost though.

Ours seems to be hit-or-miss. We get some stuff early, most on time, but some stuff late. Wife had a couple items from different orders that didn't ship, and when she checked again they were listed as out of stock. I'd ordered a couple items for my GoPro camera about 2-1/2 weeks ago. The frame mount arrived in a few days, but the clamp mount still hasn't shipped. I ordered it at the same time based on a prompt from Amazon saying that it would ship in the same package as the other item, and be here that Wednesday. It wasn't, and they said it would arrive the following Wednesday. So, now it's Thursday two weeks later, and it still hasn't shipped. No response from the shipper yet either, but it's still listed as available. Guess I need to get Amazon to intervene. Glad it's not something I actually needed right away.

Drew, gonna read that as good news and you know the prayers and good wishes of GM are with you for a great recovery. Can’t wait to hear what the plans are for after June & sale of house.
Hang in there.

RNG thanks for the link. i have looked at some CrossTalk Youtube before. Well done.

Here is my Pico mounted. May need to adjust. Hope I get to try it out this weekend. Told wife maybe I could maybe mow today, she laughed, commented how that would really help my back

Here's an Amazon order I placed last Thursday, showing the delays. Only the two Victorinox parts were delivered in 2 days, I'm still waiting on the rest of the items to arrive, and there's still no delivery date set for the Jimmy Buffett CDs (we've all got our troubles:laughing.

It's pretty common now that I don't even get tracking info emails until a week has gone by since the order was placed. That tells me that all is not well in Amazon's order fulfillment operation. Glad I'm not an Amazon stockholder right about now...

"I'm starting to rethink the Prime membership, as two day free shipping has turned into free two week shipping, and lots of merchandise is "no longer available"."

I ordered a replacement ignition, for my Polaris Ranger, from Amazon, Tuesday evening and it shows "out for delivery" on USPS today. Good price (less than half of what Polaris dealer charges) and 2 day delivery.

The original switch's internal spring, that returns it from "start" to "run", is weak and doesn't always work.

I haven't experienced any unreasonable deliveries since this started for Prime items. I have found a few things I could buy elsewhere for lower cost though.

Some Prime things were slow over last 2 months (mostly coming from China), but now amazon seems to be about back in the 2 day range.

Good to hear from you Drew.

I have shot from the top of Clingman’s Dome at about 6300’, back in the fall of 2018. Not as pretty and green as yours.


And about 3000’ near Tail of The Dragon.

Clingmans dome is a favorite place to visit.

Nice photos guys ... :thumbsup:

79F and partly cloudy here but actually very pleasant outside right now.

Ran by the hardware store mailed a letter and picked up a couple of fittings to mount the last two bluebird houses, then headed in for the grocery pickup (looks like they got it right this time), then over to Pet Supplies Plus to pick up cat food and treats ... only it turned out that the order was at a different location (there are 3 of 'em within 6 miles of the house) so I ran over there (stopping to fill the van up with some cheap diesel on the way) ... guess I should not have said ok to "allow Safari to use your location" when I placed the order - as it appears that it changed my normal store ...

Then back to the house and unloaded groceries and cat food/treats. The Squeak appeared disappointed it was not the large, industrial-sized treats however.

After that I installed one of the fittings and put up the third bluebird house.

Oh ... and before I left I loosened up the gland nut on the left (leaking) curl cylinder, removed it from the tractor, and took it up to the garage along with the pins ... :thumbsup:

Clingmans dome is a favorite place to visit.

Is that the Tail of the Dragon going from TN below Knoxville to NC? I've been on that, jeepers creepers, you can see your tail lights when you make the corners...

 

[Buppies]

Drew more prayers sent you are one strong fellow soon this will pass and you should be good as new. Be well my friend

 

[Buppies]

[buckeyefarmer]

I haven’t driven the tail, but would like to. Some of my motorcycle buddies like to ride it.

The latest findings about covid19 that came out in Medscape today.

* Mounting evidence covid19 is transmitted via aerosol transmission and the importance of wearing a mask.
* Vaccine timeline realistically is 12 to 18 months away.
* One study found almost 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 imaged using bedside echocardiography had right ventricular dilation.
* Add "fibrinolysis shutdown" to hypercoagulability as a possible blood-related complication of COVID-19
* Front line health care providers many could face an increased malpractice risk. Doctors may be practicing outside their specialty and across state lines during the pandemic, for example, which can present issues. Nurses may be particularly vulnerable.
* A positive antibody test, in many cases, makes it about 50/50 that a person actually has any antibodies against the coronavirus.
