    Most times it is accurate. Some times it is not. Earlier this week I had some hydraulic fittings sent from Texas to my work in Wisconsin. The UPS tracking shows they were delivered in Wednesday. They were not delivered to our business. They were lost by UPS in Texas. Luckily I had enough time to 2nd day air them in here today.

    This isn't the first, and won't be the last time I see instances like this.

    As a Buyer though, I get stuff delivered everyday. So I see a lot more tracking numbers than most people.

    My lawn is starting to green up, but it's nowhere near mowing time yet.

    Mine was ankle deep in several spots. Took all 31HP to get through it too. Running chicken tractors over the lawn really made it grow.

    Looks like a fairway now.

    X2, my UPS guy is awesome and computer tracking is always right on time. Fed Ex guy is always arrives too, though the time frames given on tracking a very broad, what I find crazy is that travels from miles away, but only tues and thurs. It still does not make business sense to me anyway.

    Not sure if others have noticed this, but all my heavy shipments arrive from FedEx. All the light shipments arrive from UPS. Very interesting to me. I wonder if FedEx needs to make some changes......

    Not bad, they made it home 1.5 hours ago. 4 doa's, a few do not look that great, but after a looong time acclimating they are all in, and one breed of the tetras are starting to school:) I'll do a dead check in the morning for the questionable ones.

    I think that UPS has limitations on the weight of packages that it delivers. The heavy bulky stuff goes with Fedex.


    I think.....

    FedEx and UPS clone each other as to policies. Over a certain weight it's all freight and not regular uos/ FedEx.

    My Grandma had a cake recipe that was called Party Line Cake that she got the recipe from listening in on a party line conversation! My Great Grandma was real notorious for listening in on the neighbors on the phone.

    I think she was on the party line of ours back in the early 60's then.

    I debated about selling Ole blue but I think I need to get some more use out of the rebuilt tranny, and have 3-4 overloads of primo white oak ~10mi from the house.
    been watching this tree laying on the ground since last fall
    The guy just brought 4-5 rounds to the curb for dump pickup. I stopped chatted and he want's it gone - should be 1.5cords:thumbs:

    Just in from the ol' sweet shop, bit of a cool down around here, mid to upper 20's to mid 40's, no snow and a little rain this morning that seems to be gone.
    Enjoy what's left of your weekend.
