Speaking of vendor incompetence, the bumpers from the van are supposed to be delivered here by truck tomorrow, so I thought I should follow up with the trucking company and verify that they had my phone number so they can let me know when to meet them at the gate. Turns out that they not only had the wrong phone number (two digits were transposed in the area code), they had the wrong town and zip code for the delivery address! I provided the correct info to the fabricator, and I'm guessing the brokerage firm he contracted with are the ones that screwed the pooch. Hopefully it'll get straightened out...:confused2:

Meanwhile, the same guy that sent the wrong gear puller, twice, also sent the wrong seat cover and foam for the old BMW. I got word he's gonna try again, but needed a new charge card number. I'm running out of fingers and toes to keep crossed hoping these ninnies can follow instructions. These transactions have also resulted in a string of charges and refunds very much resembling the Gordian knot...:muttering:

I could start a rant about how computers haven't helped business one bit, and have only complicated things, but I'm sure you've heard all THAT before...:shocked:

IIRC, Ocean City, Maryland is where US50 terminates, a route I followed from Sacramento, CA in '03 on a motorcycle.

Be prepared for a plethora of saltwater taffy shops, tee-shirt vendors, and fancy restaurants with even fancier prices, Top...

Back in for the day. 4 projects completed. Including lawn getting cut. Found out why mower has been getting slower to start. Dirty post connections. Cleaned them and I was off to cut lawn in a light rain. All kinds of clumping. I think it's the first time I have cut wet grass this year. Next cuttings will be by son and grandson.

Drew, Now I sure wish you had got that front mower with 4wd. I would be sending you a PM to work out a deal.

RNG, saw the same thing a Sams Club. Why not just leave that stuff out all year around?

74°F and spotty rain this morning, going up to 89° today.

Boss asked me this morning if I'd mind running a die over to our tool maker in Caseyville IL this morning. Told him I'd leave right away. Field trip! When I got back, we had no one available in Production to run a grab handle for a certain big green tractor manufacturer, so I put on some gloves and ran the 100-ton press for a couple hours. Our tool maker made a really nice three-station tool for this part. It flattens the ends in one station, trims them to a radius at the second, then pierces them for the mounting screws. It's a very efficient design. I actually enjoyed running it. A pleasant change of pace from the usual Quality Jerk stuff.

Pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but that's my bucket list ride right there. We live about 4 miles north of US-50 where it runs past Trenton IL.

Everyone is so busy, hard to keep up.
Kyle, congrats.
David, that was a tall tree. Amazing how much higher it seems looking down, than on the ground looking up.
A tenn trip. Havent done that trip this month..
I found a mud dauber nest under my truck hood on some wiring.

Another drive home in a torrential downpour last night. This is getting old.

I'd do it again, and offer to join you, but you'd have to keep up with traffic.:laughing::laughing::confused2::laughing::laughing:
