    Changed it halfway down. Stopped a little short of full capacity and drove down to the bottom where it's flattest to check the level and top it off.

    Gotta love USPS. Placed an order last Sunday, Nov 30th. Package made it to Lexington on the 1st, then finally made it to Louisville on the 7th and then Cincinnati on the 7th. Funny thing is, it never technically arrived in Cincinnati.... Must be the midwest's Bermuda Triangle down there. What a terrible joke. Maybe I'll see it this week.

    Used to be the same around here. Actually at one point I wouldn't have stuff shipped FedEx cause guaranteed the box would show up with a hole in it when it finally showed. Surprisingly they're now about the best. Ups has really gone down hill from what they used to be but I suppose that happens when you take away most of the employee benefits. USPS has never been good, around here.

    USPS is better than FEDEX around here.

    Just proves that it's the employees that make the company, not the company name. Talking in general about big business.

    I've seen all companies do similar. FedEx and DHL are about tied with issues on my count though.

    Oh yeah. I just had my first goof with USPS. Order left TN before Thanksgiving. Instead of heading towards MI it went to GA. Then it went another place in GA before heading to Indianapolis. Then on to Detroit before going back to Indy. Then back to Detroit before going to Pontiac (the first of many short trips). Now started the real fun. It went back and forth from Detroit to Pontiac several times over several days. I finally called the postmaster to tell what was happening after it quit moving and just sat in Pontiac. Suddenly they got busy and sent it to Detroit. Next day back to Pontiac. I give up.

    The driveway will get a good cleanup early this afternoon. I didn't plow yesterday and it just doesn't sit right with me.

    It snowed overnight and it's still snowing. I drove over the snow in the driveway this am on my way to work and I'm dreading snowblowing the driveway tonight. It's that wet heavy crap.
