Yes that's true Tman. sounds like the delivery end of CP will stay intact, the cost of shipping will prolly go up tho......

 

You got that right... it's been basically non stop for days now.

 

It's tough for our postal service. I don't know everything about it but it's complicated for them.
They try to operate as a business but mail delivery is mandated, allowed by our constitution initially giving congress the power to create post offices so it's a service that must exist, serving all Americans so it's not a business.

The mandate is also to simply break even, not make a profit.
With less physical mail, vehicles and staff are still traveling their routes to deliver at least a piece of junk mail so I can understand why expenses are high.

I personally just pay the extra for UPS or FedEx. I have a difficult time waiting and USPS is too slow.

 

Man I'm like another 7 pages behind, geeze.

Darren, congrats on the new Sat dish and the Go-Pro camera. Thanks for sharing the photo's of Romania.

Paul, Nice to hear your helping out an orphanage.

Kper, No idea on the noise, mine make all kinds of strange noise's, I try not to worry about them. I just hope and pray that none of the computers in my truck have Windows 8 installed.

Gavin, Good luck with the Muzzleloader.


This is a good one. ROR

Nice.

Very nice picture Scotty, Thanks for sharing.

I wish we had some snow even just a little would be nice. I installed some snow breaks on a couple of the roofs this year and looking forward to seeing how they work and nothing. We have had one little bit of snow but it was like heavy frost. Love the photo.

 

Yeah but the snow does get old after a bit. And we're not even halfway through winter yet.

My project today got cancelled due to weather and basically spent half the morning at work digging out the fleet trucks haha I didn't even bother shoveling out the truck beds, just enough to be able to see. A few had completely frozen batteries and wouldn't start. I filled up a sink full of hot water and let them sit in the bath for several hours to thaw before I clamped on the charger.

 

Trent you sure got dumped on out there eh, WOW..... do you think those frozen batteries will take a charge ??????

Have a great Saturday S gang, winter hasn't officially started yet, ugh.....
Almost -20*F here this AM

 

Good morning gang.

Yall get the snow.man its been raining so stinking hard all night and is still coming down so hard. I think I'd rather have snow.at least ya can do something outside.im not much for being cooped up.
Everyone have a great day

 

Trade ya Pauly, its so cold here i'd rather have the rain.......... I think

 

Gig i think we need to find a place that stays about 80 year round.

 

Yes I agree Paul, a place where fuel is a buck a gallon also, ror

 

Well. I think were outta luck on the fuel part. them days are long past

 

Morning Gerry and Paul. Nine below here this morning and 7 inches of snow forecast for tonight. I think 70-80 degrees and a buck a gallon diesel sounds pretty good. Let me know when you find it!

 

Good to hear from you Shawn, I'll let ya know, lol

 

Good to be here. I pretty much hang out on the New England Forums but venture out once in a while. The motorcycles are loaded in the rig and I can hook up and head south anytime I get too sick of winter. The older I get, the sooner I get sick of the cold.

 

But don't you have a farm to look after or do you have peeps for that if you leave ...?
