    Beautiful.

    Most of my great egerts were not as graceful.

    I had a FedEx driver that drove across the grass at the end of the drive, left deep tracks. He also hit my neighbors mailbox on the other side of the street. I spoke with his supervisor and then the supervisor's boss. The driver was fired that day.

    No I'm not, Tom started it! I was just playing along!

    I didn't expect that joke to get legs. At all. But since Bill ruined it - or saved me from a joke I forget to turn off - sigh, yeah, child of a 70s and 80s here.

    Yeah, if you WERE 77 and riding the way you do, I'd be even more impressed :D

    Jeez, Brian, is this another one of yours?

    Knock wood, but I've typically had the best results with FedEx out of the three. Unless the seller does something stupid, like, say, pack an otherwise perfect B&K 200.2 amp with the power cable plugged into the IEC socket. Doesn't travel particularly well.

    Shipping companies are brutal for sure. While working for good 'ol USPS, I did my best to educate customers on packaging to prevent damage. If a customer told me the item was fragile, I'd ask, "if I slid this package off my counter and let it hit the floor, would you be okay with that??" Of course I'd never do that, but seeing their reactions would tell me how they had it packed.

    I had to laugh, one guy actually told me, sure, go ahead, in fact, throw it across the room, stomp on it. I just smiled and said, sorry, I don't do those kind of demonstrations.....

    Last logged on April 28, 2018. I have heard you guys talk about him, but no, I don't know him. Did he call people "jackholes" on here, or something?!
