Yeah I've got a steep drive with sharp turn to get to the top but I've hauled a goose neck 5th wheeler up here as well as had a cement pumper come up the drive and manage to get turned around and back down. Propane truck and UPS can make it up here too but FedEx? Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
This morning I found a package that contains a dresser for my Mom's new room at the memory care facility left along the road in the freshly irrigated grass. They didn't even bother to come up to the house and knock on the door to let me know they were leaving it there. I can't see the end of the drive from the house (trees block view - it's not THAT far) so I was lucky I happen to be walking down there for something else.
Dante has a place for FedEx.Quote:

Think about where you would stash it today if putting away for season, and look there!
I found it. Not where I would stash it for the season. If it had teeth it would have bitten me.
Chuck roast at 143 after two hours. Stuck the probe in it anyway for the covered portion of the journey. I want to get used to it. And it's cool seeing the grill temp. Hopefully I'll be able to find it next time I smoke something. It's pretty cool.
When my wife loses stuff and I start looking she's like "I would never put it there." I'm like "did you look everywhere you might have put it?" She's like "Yes." I'm like "then it must be someplace you wouldn't put it, right?"
Exactly.Quote:

Fucking goddamned Trumpstains desecrating my flag
Same thing in Canada - the MAGA north convoy cultists have ruined the flag. Trashy fuckers.Quote:

Anyone else annoyed by the FedEx arrow? If you’re not aware of it, be careful seeking it out. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.Quote:

It shouldnt annoy me as much as it does. I was and still am one of those people who loves an american flag themed anything, and i love flying the flag at my house. Meanwhile my wife is constantly mortified by it because she thinks it makes us look like MAGA republicans. It is such fucking bullshit that MAGA co-opted the american flag. Folks who are not MAGA trumpers should not take this laying down, and take back the sympbol of the american flag as a symbol for ALL americans, not just populist white nationals.Quote:
