    USPS is absolute garbage.

    Apparently "Ready for pick-up at Post Office" on their website tracking REALLY means "The package is at an off-site location that we didn't tell you about - that's only open from 9am-to-1pm daily - and we probably can't get it off the truck anymore to try and deliver tomorrow".  And when you present this information to the great-grandmother working the desk at the Post Office (that you waited 15 minutes in line to tak to) - they won't have the slightest idea what you're talking about (or likely what a "website" is).

    Absolute garbage.

    Hopefully my "Hold Request" goes through and my wife can pick it up Thursday on her lunch. 😡

      I fucking despise USPS!  I ordered something next day from them only to find out that "next day" doesn't actually mean "next day".  I argued with 3 different people about this on the phone only to find out it was sitting in New Berlin while I lived in Greenfield BUT I was not allowed to drive to New Berlin to pick up my package from them.  I avoid them at all costs now.

                        Started tearing stuff apart last night - and had to toss these on to see what they'll look like.  Sssooooo much stuff to clean and replace in the bay. 😬

                                Might be time to step up your game to Super Clean and shop towels.

                                  Simple green, scrub with a small brush, rinse with water, done. Much easier.

                                        Don't really have a reason to?!?  At this point it's clean, replace, Powdercoat/plate, reassemble - and get it running!!!
