The Daily Rant Thread

I know this about shipping... if I had my whole life to do over, I would have checked mail, UPS, and Fed X delivery times to this house before I bought it. My deliveries from all 3 rarely come before 5 pm. So, I have waited all day for a part I need for a RC or go kart race somewhere tomorrow. Lot of late nights in the shop. Had I known this I would have bought a house in a more delivery friendly neighborhood.

Do those even exist anymore? Most of my deliveries show up around 8pm lately.

Deliveries are made here during the day... something about bears finding the delivery drivers uniforms particularly yummy looking... owl attacks...

My evening commute was crap. Got behind somebody doing 25 mph in a 50 mph zone with no headlights in the dark and in the rain. Finally got a chance to go around them and the truck in the next lane decided to slow down and pace them.

That's what I like about a 7,000IBS truck.

I hate that car. Was looking at jato parts, you know the nitro car. All that pops up now is jato vxl. Gotta specify jato 3.3 and even then!

Sweet ride. Nice looking buggy.

Do you live near a lot of businesses? That's where they typically go first. Rural routes where I have lived always came in the morning.

Back in 2009, when I knew tge first and last names of trx employees, they delivered my esc at 650am. Happened a few times. By 2012 it was noon on.

I was thinking, I could go and race tomorrow if I wanted too....

And after like 5 minutes I realized I'm an id10t and forgot I blown my motors the other weekend.

I live in a town of 30 thousand or more. UPS is a mile from here. Post office a 15 minutes from here. All shipments to here come from Nashville which is not far away.Just my bad luck.

Sounds like they're starting with the farthest deliveries and working their way back to their facility to finish off the day.

He was just trying to use his tongue to wet it on the way down.

Let's see if the Baltimore center or the local post office messes it up lol. Usually they don't so

Baltimore post office is where my check got stuck for a week!
You better get some air in those bicycle tires! You might need to finish the last part of this delivery on your own!!!

so apparently my main youtube channel has been terminated for some reason. don't know why, haven't posted on it sense June. didn't have any questionable material, didn't have any copywrite strikes, idk, so i get to deal with that when i get home


edit/update: youtube channel is back up. did the appeal thing and within 5 minutes my channel was restored. what's weird is i wasn't bummed about my content (i still have all my videos back up on an external hard drive and CD's) i was like omg! my playlists!

Giving myself headaches over shims. I bought 0.015" thick shims but some vary between 0.0155" - 0.0165" and I don't know if it's a big deal or not.

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

if that's all they vary, consider yourself lucky. unless you're building rockets its not a big deal.
