    Default Why is it that the UPS guy always manages to..

    deliver my race parts on days when my wife happens to be home???????

    Had the old ups gal trained to put the packages down by the shop, right in front of the roll-up door... out of sight.

    I have got to get this new guy trained...

    Good help is hard to find. I used to find sandwich crumbs and pop can rings in my Autosports when they arrived. Cheap-ass mailman wouldn't just buy his own subscription.

    At least you got it delivered. Valentines day, I was expecting a UPS delivery for my wife, and when 6:00 pm cam around, I called the vendor. They then sent me the tracking number, and they said that they made a delivery "attempt" at 5:21 pm. How could be I said, we were BOTH home, and didn't hear anybody come to the front door.

    Funny thing is, I thought that a "delivery attempt" was more than just driving by the house. They (UPS Driver) didn't even bother to leave the paper notice on the door. I figure'd he was down at the bar, with a truck load of packages that didn't make it on their "first delivery attempt"

    I'll only deal with FedEx next time.

    Can you say "Brown" just smells like "#$&@"

    Aren't we all building cars for someone else?

    You guys must be far too young. Me and a buddy got it worked out. Simply put, he has his stuff shipped to my house, and I have my stuff shipped to his house. That way we can each legitimately say, without lying, "it's for John/Greg, not me."

    Same goes for new (to us) cars. Any time one of us gets a car (truck/boat/chain saw/tractor/whatever), it goes to the other guys' house for a week or more. "What's that car in the driveway?" "Oh, that's for John/Greg, not me. He asked if he could park it here for a few days."

    Rookies. Each and every of you.

    You guys have it all wrong. I got my wife hooked and she drives the enduro's with me so all the parts are for her "half". I don't spend anything on mine!!! I did however have to buy a bigger trailer when she wanted her own car.

    What has Brown done to you lately? --pgipson

    Brown ran over my F#&%@ing dog...right in front of the kids...then they told me tuff $#!t he wasn't on a leash..but he was...the truck scared him, and he dragged my daughter down the driveway and ran in front of the truck. Thank God my daughter had the leash pulled out of her hand. I don't use brown for anything but shoe polish or fertilizer.

    There are all sorts of storys about Brown. For those of you with a wife who use Brown you have two choices. It's cheaper to keep the wife.

    I had what I thought was Brown guy for a bunch of years. Then one day a heighbor called the Brown guy Linda. Strange name for a Brown guy. Since then I have been wondering if the big Brown truck is male or female.

    Have Fun
