The Lair

You have to add the tire mount too, bring total cost to $90 vs $45 for the trasharoo. Plus I don’t think it looks as cool, and the trasharoo has other small pockets on it for various things.

 

Cut the head off a rattle snake. Must be a city slicker

 

Having handled it in person it seems a heck of a lot more durable than the trasharoo though but good points. I guess there are trade offs to both. Just head west on your way home and you can stop by their shop they'll give you a tour and are some really nice folks. Plus if you go in you may get a discount. I got a one off bag from them for free and they took I think 15% off my purchase by going in and shooting the shit. Pretty cool old town they are in as well.

 

I want to go there. They usually have the Overland yard sale right? In Bedford VA?

 

Yes! They are only like an hr and a half from me if I don't take the backroads. But it is such a beautiful area up there I take the 2 hr back road route. If you go in you'll get to meet all the seamstresses if that is the correct PC term for that. I am going to get this soon.

I really liked @Subway4X4 tracks on the inside of his cap so I am going to do the same thing and then have them make me one for my cap as well.

anyone know if the shipment release works for MyUPS choice members?

 

Like to where you don’t have to sign? It should. I’ve used it a bunch of times. Only time it doesn’t work is for alcohol or ammunition.

 

yes. Ok cool. Wheels are out for delivery

 

It depends too on the shipper or for packages from outside the country. Outside the country is not your case obviously. However, the shipper of the wheels could be requesting a signature and if that's the case you cannot change that according to my post office up in the country. You can contact the shipper and then can easily change that status at any time. This is in place to protect the shipper of course. I could be camped out on your porch and sign. Most delivery agents won't request ID regardless. All the shipper cares about is that the product was delivered at the indicated address.

 

my roommate is home and aware. I was just asking. I am refreshing the tracking page too.

I live in a very safe area. And Ill be going home to put them inside. Just asking here..

 

Yep you'll be driving right by my apt going that route!

 

Oh, I get it, 99% of our shopping is mail order. Watches, jewelry, tech, auto parts, some big ticket items. It's crazy what gets through without a sig. Then the dumbest crap holds everything up. For example, recently the shipper send two packages, one by mistake, and the machine they used printed two identical labels somehow. Since it was a mass shipping event the origin post office missed that the bar code was the same. However, the destination post office picked up on it. They held both packages and left me a pink slip. I knew no signature was required and I called. I was in fact told there are two identical packages wit the same shipping label and as such one is paid for but postage is due on the other so they held both awaiting further clarification from me. I said how would I know?! I asked how do I resolve the issue? They said pay the shipping. I was like ok, damn, how much? $3.52 !!!!!!!!!!! I asked how do I pay just throw it in the mail box?! LOL They said they left an postage due envelope, just fill it out and add the money and they will redeliver both packages.

Country life.

 

I actually had to look up where Street Md was. I have never heard of it. But that happens with a lot of places. My friend lives in North East Md.. That is actually a city, not a general location..

 

It's all corn, soy and horse farms up near me. I can't even get cable. Only SAT. I use my 4G phone to create a hotspot ISP which is faster than HugesNET. Yea, Northeast is actually a little more upscale than where I live depending on the exact area, not much different otherwise. Our post office shares a building with a elementary school that doubles as a community center.

We bought the house after living in Baltimore all our lives. Not in the heart of the city but only walking distance away. Crime became too much. I always knew I was a misplaced country boy. My father and I were in the service so I have lived a bunch of places. Little Creek, Damn Neck, Va Beach, Hawaii. But Mainly here in Maryland. We like it. I can hit the mountains or the beach and everything in between. I would move away in a heart beat though if the pay was right. Especially back to Hawaii. I'd leave it all but my Taco.

 

I know I dont want to live in a city.. Ive lived in suburbs my whole 30 years.. I would like to live in a place like @greengen1 .. about 10 min from a suburban area, but still quiet enough to have my own garage and yard.
