I don't know this person, nor have I taken anything from his porch.

All the more reason to shoot cats on sight.

Wow. That's a cool/manly thing to say.

Wow. That's a cool/manly thing to say.

I'm assuming that you are being sarcastic. Unfortunately for me there is a real feral cat problem in the area. They are threatening the native song birds amongst other species. I don't suffer problem cats lightly.

[Directconnection]

I have a respect and affection for all animals... but not so much for piss-poor animal owners who don't take care of their pets (feral cats) or the owners of special bred attack dogs.

There are better ways of treating a feral cat problem.... around here, a friend of mine is in a group where she and her counterparts use humane traps, bring them in to be spade or neutered, and then released again so as to never procreate again.

Since no head yet... I decided to make a new downpipe

[Reeves]

Head was supposed to be back Friday (according to FedEx ground tracking number last week) and I had to work so they would not have left it anyways (sig req) so then it was supposed to be here yesterday... in the morning the tracking website said "out for delivery" and the estimated delivery date was 5/22. AWESOME!

So I'm working in the garage and basement on some other stuff and checking the door every so often and running upstairs every time I hear a diesel truck (my street has almost no traffic) and nada... so about 4pm I check online tracking again and it says estimated delivery date was 5/25 ... WTF? well, whatever, I had some welding to do so I go and do that... Guess I get screwed

About 15 minutes later I go check out front again and there is a door tag (sig required)... tho mofo's stopped by and I had no idea... the garage is open with the radio on, basement door open you can probably hear the welder out front even... but all they musta did is knock on the door.. impatiently cuz its in the afternoon on a Saturday...

So I call FedEx and ask them to leave it at the depot and I'll go pick it up after his route (I do this with UPS all the time!) and they explain how their ground service is entirely independent of their express service and that center has already closed for the day and there is no way to get it till Tuesday!? So I ask them to contact the driver and I'll give him $20 if he can bring it back... and they said they cannot contact the driver unless the center is open cuz they gotta go thru them .. WTF!? So I tell them that I'm not gonna be here to sign on Tuesday, leave it at the station and leave work early and pick it up so I dont just get another door tag...

The really stupid part of it all is that when you check the tracking there is no way to tell them to leave it at the station or anything, so in all actuality for someone working 5 days a week the only day I would ever be home to sign is Saturday, and there is no way to tell them to leave it at the station before the 1st drop off attempt. And then there is no way to get it that night and not even for sure the next day... compared to this... UPS Ground FTW!

Sorry for the rant, just frustrated... its like Christmas morning and I found out Santa got delayed!

Luckily I have a few other things to work on to keep me busy...

I could rant on about Fed-Ex for hours......

i hate fedex

x2 big ones

[BadAssPerformance]

Yeah, they blow! ... not in the good roll your eyes back into their sockets way either!

[135sohc]

They all suck...

I will say though, when we bought a new printer (big a$$ dell laser one) and missed the drop off by about 10 minutes. called ups and they got the driver directly on the phone, drove over to the next neighborhood and met up with him enroute.

nice DP JT.

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks

[NeonShowCar]

DP looks nice, almost looks like 4" pipe

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks Garry... and good eye, it is 4"

[contraption22]

Nice work, JT! What is that standoff for?

[BadAssPerformance]

Thanks! I'm guessing you mean the WG dump pipe?

[contraption22]

Thanks! I'm guessing you mean the WG dump pipe?

Ahh ok.. I didn't think about it. Not realizing it was 4" pipe, that looked too small to me to be for an external gate. Now i get it.

[BadAssPerformance]

Yeah, its somewhat disproportionate, LOL... glad I had spare pipe and flange for it tho so i didnt have to cut the 3" DP.... maybe I'll get a pic together to show size
