My dog always cheers me up. Here’s his new favorite stick. It’s 8’ long and he drug it out of the ivy the other week.

That is hilarious! Has he tried to bring it inside?
He can’t get to the door with it, the patio chairs and table are in the way but he has almost knocked me down a few times. He likes to run around the yard with it and when he hits me in the back of the knees it takes my legs out from under me. I try to not be out there when he goes into his beast mode. He starts grunting and running around all crazy and if he grabs one of his big sticks he’s dangerous. I stand back and watch but it’s hard to not start laughing which just encourages him more.

After a week of sitting here in town, FedEx finally delivered the CV axles today. The diff is supposed to be here tomorrow. Too bad RA isn’t like Amazon- the ACDelco gear oil I ordered was running so late that they refunded me and it showed up yesterday so it’s free, $52 was credited back to me. I actually don’t need it right now anyway since the diff comes filled.

Glad RA will ship to you. They won't to me due to them not wanting to calculate local (town) taxes. If I REALLY want something from RA it has to be delivered to my son's place, out in the county.

That sucks. I remember hearing about this awhile back.

I hate FedEx. Worst damn shipping company ever. The diff was originally scheduled to be delivered last Friday. Then they changed it to yesterday. Then to today. Then last night it went to “pending”. So I called and now they said they’re running 4-5 days late here so maybe this Friday. WTF. Those guys had a week off due to wildfire smoke so I don’t understand why the f they aren’t working around the clock to catch up. The dude even said the facility doesn’t work weekends so if it doesn’t come Friday it will be Monday. Don’t work weekends? You just had a goddamn week holiday so get off your asses and get caught up! Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I despise waiting for parts its the worst part of the hobby. Especially when the shipping company screws up or lies to you about an ETA.

Funny short story, I ordered deodorant the day my valve dropped (Wednesday) because I was almost out and new I'd be to busy to go to a store. It was supposed to come Friday but ended up coming yesterday night. I had no deodorant for 3 days because Amazon shipping lied to me!!!!!:jester:

The problem I have with Fed Ex is many of the final delivery guys are not Fed Ex employees but work for Fed Ex like Uber drivers. Some of them couldn’t care any less about you getting your stuff. I’ve complained to Fed Ex before and was told they would take it up with the company they have the contract with. I told them that their name is on the side of the truck so they own the problem.
