Good soggy morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 46.2 and continuing showers at Alpha.
In the meantime still no snow blower at Bravo. Not a peep out of Home Depot since Monday when I called. They were going to get back to me yesterday to let me know what was happening and keep me updated. Grand customer service.

Good morning Jim and...
Lunch time in the lumber yard today.

Jim while you're having some shipping issues, I have ordered a few things thinking it should get here alright.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
The Wardens Dr’s appointment in Salem at 0900 was a bust. They scheduled her for a day the Doc is never in the Salem Office. He’s always at a Satellite office on Wednesdays. Thought that was great! And we got five reminder calls including one while we we in the car driving to the appointment, just about the time we were passing Rickreall.
Hmmmmm, they charge $75 for cancelations within 24 hrs of an appointment or just not showing up….wonder what would happen if I sent them a bill for 2 hours time plus mileage?

Spent all afternoon and some of the evening trying to trace down the wiring problem most of the e downstairs light fixtures and both ceiling fans. Line toner seems to show a dead spot between the porch light, closet light and master bedroom light. That will be a fun time trying to pull a new line between downstairs ceiling and upstairs floor.

As long as you didn’t order from Home Depot and as long as it isn’t being delivered by FedEx you just might have a chance.

Another day with no phone call or message from Home Depot as they promised. I did note that they changed the order to show delivery on Friday, February 16th! However the tracking history shows still shows it in Eugene where it’s been since Feb 9th.

I have the same feelings about FedEx. And after the little incident at Bravo when their driver was upset with us (late for coffee break?) and blamed us for not having the lane and driveway marked & because his GPS was taking him to the wrong location….didn’t help my attitude GPS - we have no control over. GPS will take you to our 97/ Lane jct., but then wants to take you 1/4+ miles north cross countr. I suspect that has to do with County GIS error in the county database which is then copied by mapping companies.
As to address, there is a big reflective fire district address posted at the highway interface. Not only that but there is a great big red arrow with it pointing down our lane. Politely pointed that out to him and he dropped the package in the driveway, took the picture of it along with my feet and left.

Good afternoon Ford Drivers.
Getting lunch in Manzanita today.


Jim, as a delivery driver I understand the frustration with GPS. But a driver still needs to use what's between for something more than a hat rack.

Just this morning I had GPS telling me to make unlawful turns.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.

Not bad Chris. Looks like around 5 or 6 every work day?

Yep utilization of the gray vegetable material between the ears is a must when using GPS. People don’t update them, even if they do they can have outdated maps. Set to the shortest route they can get you stuck in neck deep snow.
Used to have a blast teaching SAR recruits how to get lost using GPS.
