Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 24, going up to 47, no precipitation, just wind.....

The talk of "missing packages" is adding to my anxiety of a "delivery delay"..... the only thing that the wifey had mentioned that she would like, was shipping back on the 8th from Illinois. Made it to Irving Tx on the 13th..... where it has been sitting for the last 5 days. The PO is no help... they just say "its in transit"....
The worst part is that I ordered two items from the same seller, at the same time, paying shipping on each item. They combined both items into the same box, but still charged the 'double' shipping. I wouldn't mind if they upgraded the shipping to priority mail, but just left it at first class.... probably contributing to the delay....

Yesterday's shop time was very productive! Both toy boxes got the final coats of finish, drying overnight. They with get rubbed / polished today and get the hardware put back on. The Chalet / trinket box turned out well, first time I had used 'black stain'..... looked like India Ink going on.... That was actually scary, I was worried it was going to ruin the box. Just a few final touches left on that. The pressure is off.... done in plenty of time!



I need to make a few errands this morning, then out to the shop for completion.

Hope everyone that was dealing with weather stays warm and dry!

Everyone have a great day!

Why doesn't the post office ask for the package back from the wrong house?

The postmaster called the carrier and asked her to ask at the house for the package back. We haven’t heard yet or seen the result.

RNG, that Macaroni Grill in Albq. closed up about 4 years ago.... due to "poor management". It was usually packed on the evening/ weekends, so wasn't due to lack of business....
We ate there one time about a year before they closed..... We were not impressed and didn't know what the big fuss was about eating there....

Good morning, all, 10 going up to 34 and grey
Got the driveway cleared using the snow blower and neighbor got the last few inches cleared from the road. Had the kid shovel the walkways, grudgingly even though paying him....

May need to modify plow as it was repurposed for tractor to move snow move sideways rather than just pushing.



Randy - good to hear about your health getting back to normal
RNG - sorry about the leak-hope not too many $ to fix
LS - boxes came out great-wish I had your skill

Glad to hear everyone made it through the snow without power loss or damage-

Stay safe and be well

Fedex started dropping off boxes down by road again. UPS guy is usually the same person and he drops at house. Mailman is great too-won't fit in mailbox he drives on up here.
We have lost at least 1 Fedex package in the last month or so, who knows where it went, or maybe who it went with

Good morning, the temperature is a cool 4°F and the high will be 14. Wind calm. Sunny.

I love pushing snow, not 'that' snow :laughing:,

You know what Steppenwolf said about the pusherman!

Heard that on a local radio station a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't remember the last time I'd heard it.

I have found several “delivered” FedEx packages in my mailbox.

Yep, at front door or handed to person, often means in mailbox.
I’ve had that problem with the USPS, a couple of years ago they lost a replacement motor for one of my garage door openers. Got an email every month telling me they were still searching diligently for it, after six months they declared it lost and reimbursed me.

In my business I dealt with insurance companies, some disguised as warranties, some losses through fire or water. Sometimes the customer would pay us and get reimbursed but most times I got paid directly. It won’t be fast usually and you have to jump through the right hoops, but most are fair.
We did one job in a huge house in Ocean City that had smoke damage. All the furniture and window treatments were damaged. The furniture required stripping to the frames and deodorizing before building. It was about $30k, they had State Farm ins.
Not only did they pay, they gave us an expense deposit at the start.

28 early, 35 now supposed to hit low 20’s tonight, very gray today.

My idea of fun snow removal is a couple of 75 degree days. We haven’t had big storm since 01/18, that was a lot of snow and wind.
