Jim, I have no problem going out and hunting for it, but in the old ad, I "let my fingers do the walking". I have an objection to being charged for a delivery that isn't followed through on. The local Oops driver, if he has a delivery further down Wayne Court, or another package for us, will go ahead and bring the stuff even if it was supposed to be "Sure Post". FWIW, our Oops terminal is in Salisbury Maryland, a good 1 1/2 hours away, as far as I know, they go clear down to Cape Charles, the point not the town, from Salisbury, another 30 miles. FedUp comes out of Chesapeake VA, another 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours + the toll on the CBBT.
I don't know the full story, but what I have been told by the Oops driver is it is some kind of agreement to help USPS. Unfortunately there is no way I have found yet to tell what criteria is used. Everything I have received like that has been tagged that way, including labelled "shippers request". That one I took JCP.com to task over as between Oops staring at the package in Roanoke VA for a week then the "Sure Post" delivery, the package took 8 days to get here. JCP.com refunded my shipping cost.

It's about having ALL of EVERYBODY'S information.
Why should NSA stop at "suspects"???
Remember Poindexter's TFI program?
We have already seen unwarranted searches of mobile devices at our borders.
And that metadata dumps are not at all selective.
Amazon's shipping issues stem from their promises about other companies handling and schedules.
Soon to see 'projected' instead of "guaranteed" delivery dates in your emails...
ETA: just checked MY guaranteed Monday delivery.
Coming USPS thankfully!

Oh wait, we're founding members of the 5 eyes intelligence sharing community, so thanks to the corporate approach to intelligence- (off hand the risk and still get the full benefit) we can freely spy on each others citizens and then share the results!
I'm glad ours isn't the only crapppy postal delivery system, I ordered 2 data discs a while back, one from the state capital an hours drive away, one from Texas half way around the world. Texas took 2 days and the local one took a week!
I also shipped a road bike from England recently, took 3 days to get into our customs clearance, a day to clear customs and then a week to get a few hours to me.

When I lived in the UK I got a letter from my solicitor in the morning, replied, and got the response in the afternoon. Granted we were both in London, but that couldn't happen in the States in any possible situation.

Well, there was supposed to be a football game on tonight but I can't find it so I've been Googling Evans Waterless Coolant. I found this thread where some poor guy that's driving a 3000GT is dumping his Evans coolant. I think by going to a water/anti-freeze mix he got his temps down, but then he finally realized he needs a new radiator. So, while changing out the Evans coolant to a conventional mix helped reduce the operating temp, the root of the problem was not enough cooling capacity.
However one of the links he posted, Jaguar Club, provides some very interesting information. I'd like your understanding of what is said in that link, but from what I read it looks to me like Evans ability to cool an engine is significantly reduced from that of water or a 50/50 water/anti-freeze mix. Yes, the boiling point of the Evans coolant is significantly higher so it isn't going to boil, but the engine temp is still going to be higher. And that fits with what the guy with the 300GT found.
Is that the way you read it?

The stupid bowl was on FS1 from what I remember. I really didn't care one way or the other. I haven't watched dumball since the Baltimore Colts left town in the middle of the night in 1983.

I stopped paying much attention when John Elway retired, think that was in '98.
Until this year..
Seattle won that fair & square but it wasn't even a good game, it was a blowout. I guess people here in Denver will just toke up and laugh about it.
Congratulations to Seattle fans, this is your first Superbowl win and it'll be good for the overall morale of the city, it feels good.

I stumbled across that silly game on fox. Watched about 30 seconds of it. Denver scored, then added another 2, then I just moved on, nothing worth seeing there........

I didn't see anything there about Evans but from what I gathered from it is what I've always thought except I may need to do a little more research on the effect of the mix. But all in all water is a very good coolant with only 3 shortcomings, freezing, corrosion, and surface tension. So add just enough anti-freeze for the temps you see, and an additive like water wetter that breaks the surface tension and prevents corrosion combined with the anti-freeze.
