It certainly looks like a whole bunch of fun there Dave, as far as I'm concerned.

Re: the fun never ends
What I didn't get a picture of is me pulling the offset disks out of the snow beside my driveway with the old Super A . Nothing else I have here could get enough traction to do it . Even it struggled without chains , But got it eventually . Then had to put it back in the shop . Parts are in Barrie at Fedex. Morons would not leave them without a signature , yet did not call ahead saying was coming to the tractors owners place , and they have the #. I beleave we have all had this rant before . Fedex and UPS are the worst carriers out there . Too big , don't care if people get their packages . They sure make sure they get their ridiculous fees . Worst part is that they were there , but being a working farm sometimes there in the barns ect.

Re: the fun never ends
I don’t know David, kind of sounds to me like you need to find a Farmall to be a permanent resident around the place to help out from time to time!
I hear you about the carriers. Down this way people are having trouble with them leaving packages wherever they decide to stop, then saying it was delivered. Might be on someone’s porch two towns away. Just seems crazy. We had a delivery the other day and the driver was from Tennessee. I guess it’s the same problem as in other jobs. Lack of workers, lack of work ethic, with a little mismanagement sprinkled in just to top it off.

We have trouble with DHL at work. Useless. I once looked up what DHL stood for and all I can remember is Delivers Here Late or Delivers Here Last

Re: the fun never ends
Wife had a package delivered and our camera caught the guy throwing the package on the concrete from step. In the audio of the video you could hear a clang clunk. Nothing was damaged, good thing. Two days later the same driver was delivering another package when the wife and I were working on the Christmas lights. The wife asked him if he delivered a package here the other day. He said probably because he is the regular driver. She told him she didn’t appreciate him throwing the package on the steps. Oh know not me I would never do that. She told him about the camera and he immediately turned and left in a hurry. With all the cameras on peoples homes today, you would think they would be more careful. Can’t fix stupid. Harry
