Waiting for the Brown Truck...again
Once more I am relegated to a condition of sedentary existence while waiting for the "brown truck".
Last week I was attacked by a rash of ill conceived attempts to part me from my money in the form of "free shipping" offers from several of my favored sources.
Usually there is a large enough minimum cost involved to scare me away but this time they hit me with a "no minimum cost" offer, so now I sit waiting for a dozen packages of goods worth no more than $5 each to arrive in the most illogical and scattered manner conceivable to man.
Sportsman's Guide has split an order of three items to be shipped from three separate manufacturers. Optics Planet has broken a two piece set of front and rear sights into a two part order, and God only knows where the E-bay stuff is coming from.... I just got notice from Pay Pal that some of my U.S. dollars had been converted to Canadian and sent to Hong Kong!
I have been forced to make a check off list just to insure I am not charged twice and shipped once and everything that was part of a "set" actually arrives.
I have this vision of all my friends and family being gathered around a table with an urn containing my ashes and a photograph of me in my younger years, and the eulogy being interrupted by a guy in short pants and a parka carrying a small box and announcing that "someone needs to sign for this!".
