Good morning!!!!

Bird, last week I was told that Fedex "home delivery" does not deliver on Sunday or Monday.

Since my package was delivered supposedly on a Friday 72 hours excluding Sunday and Monday would be the next Thursday before I could expect to hear anything on a 2 day express delivery.

I also got different information from each person I talked to. One even said they have my package and it would be delivered Monday, when I ask who found it and what time it was found I was transferred to another person who said they have no idea where my package is.

64 early, down to 61 now, should be down in the forties by nightfall. .74” of rain since sunset yesterday.
Got ribs in the slow cooker with a bunch of small potatoes all seasoned with some sort of Mexican seasoning and robust Italian dressing. Smells good, we will see how it tastes. Have a good day guys, God bless.

Don, you should find out which houses in your area that have same house number as you.

Both USPS and Fedex have delivered our mail and boxes to a wrong house down the road with one digit different. We get their mail, sometimes, too (but nothing interesting )

Don, that sounds about right for FedEx.:laughing: They very likely don't deliver here on Mondays either, but the website originally showed it would be delivered on the 12th. FedEx also delivers my wife's monthly medications coming from Tennesse with a big bright red label to "refrigerate on arrival" and the cost is more then $800. The FedEx driver just drops it by the door, doesn't even ring the doorbell, and runs for the truck. But since I talked to them this morning, their website shows this new order that cost less than $42 is now on the truck for delivery and a signature is required.:laughing: Of course requiring a signature is just fine with me; in fact, I wish they did every time on everything.

RNG, stop jinxxing the stock market. I'm getting crushed here.

Thanks for the heads up, Drew. Looks like things are "on sale" today. Might be time to take another nibble...

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 8:00AM here in Chico, CA. Cloudy early with peeks of sunshine expected late. Areas of smoke and haze are possible, reducing visibility at times. High 66F. Winds light and variable.

You all think delivery service is bad now? Wait 'till Black Friday when all the temporary helpers are on the job and the delivery network is flooded with goods. Better get used to it: the holidaze will keep it that way until into New Years!

That could have turned out very badly, Ted. Time to have a talk with that daughter, and make sure she has what she needs to spend a night or two in that Jeep without freezing to death or being taken advantage of.

I have one set of "vanity" plates; Kalifornia is very good at establishing predatory rates for any service it thinks people would be willing to pay for. But the weather sure is nice here, at least when the air isn't filled with smoke.

Not much news on the Camp Fire, other than it's now at 125,000 acres and 30% containment. 42 confirmed fatalities, 6522 homes destroyed. It's now the most destructive wildfire in California history. Fire intensity has dropped considerably in the area near my home, but no sign they'll be lifting the evacuation orders anytime soon. Fingers crossed though.

About 10 a.m. a FedEx truck went by, but didn't even slow down so I have no idea whether that was the truck that is "supposed" to have my shipment.:laughing:

Had a great weekend, I forced myself not to look at any work emails, and when I had many coming in on Monday, I put auto reply up that said I would not be checking until I returned today.

Got the oil changed in Tahoe, cat door installed in garage wall (it had one that was broken many cats ago and then blocked off). New one was slightly larger so required some cutting.

Shot a few rounds with AR, wife even shot some. Wife found a tailgate for 73 pickup on FB Marketplace, went to contact seller Saturday morning and price had dropped in half.. Wrong color, but good shape with all the trim intact. Then some Costco shopping (wife needs new computer, wants laptop or tablet).. planning on buying something with black Friday sales, should be able to get something that fits her needs reasonably priced.

Prayers for those needing them (RNG and Larro, extras sent your way)..
