Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Boys, I've been lookin' into the fine print on shipping POS packages and wondered if the USPS can actually send a package to the landfill rather than make an effort to deliver it.
Our man in charge of this exchange, Stanwade, faithfully sent a package to me on the 17th. The tracking # shows that it departed his local post office on the 17th, it arrived at a Regional Origin Facility (what ever that is) on the 18th and departed that facility on the 22nd. Then in so many words the tracking info says your package is in transit and is arriving late.
I believe the package was dumped off in a landfill due to excessive odor!

Philip, don't give the USPS any ideas. They have enough excuses as it is.

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
First off I want to say I didn't realize how far it it is to Pennsylvania. I checked on this situation and the computer told me it was 994 miles to Stanwade's place. Since it took 18 days for Ryan's box to get to here, I figured they put it on a slow mule that averaged 2.3 miles per hour.
When I opened the package, I found some real nasty stuff!
There were 9 pieces in the big package and then there was a small zip lock bag with 2 items in it. The items were quite patriotic with the exception of one Irish refugee.
Here's how the mess unfolded: Thanks, Ryan! Enjoyed discovering what y'all throw out in Pennsylvania.

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Treefarmer--really nice lot there! Pretty much nothing I'd call a POS either!
I've freed up wrenches that have literally been buried with enough WD-40. Last time, however, it took half the can to free up a ratchet I found buried in the gravels inside the garage. That's, I guess, why it's recommended to get the gallon bulk bottle of the stuff and a common spray bottle.
The 4" adjustable wrenches are the right size to shove in a pocket, but are way easier to use than some of the fiddly "alligator" type wrenches built into a prybar sold for EDC. I like the Latshaw Tool PocketWrench II (as it fits in the little pocket in my Leatherman's sheath behind the tool), but not being open-ended has caused me a ton of hassle. I have a USA-made Western Forge/Craftsman one I bought right before Sears sold the name to Stanley (who was stupid enough to align it with their own brand tools, instead of Proto, which is how I view the USA-made Craftsman)--been a really handy little booger. Except for the fact the head on this one is the same as a 6", making it pretty bulky for a 4" wrench. But, some gate hinge have bolts just a bit bigger than a 4" usually opens up. Going to have to buy myself a true 4" adjustable. Checking eBay right now.
18 Days! And I thought the little bit over a week it took the package I sent off was excessive!

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Happy for you Philip. Something to fertilize those fall pumpkins with. 18 days, that wrench probably wasn't even rusty when it was sent!!!
Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Philip-- this knife and this wrench have been in that bag for at least 15 years sitting on my tool box waiting for me to clean them.... I figured I'd let you clean it up ...I thought maybe you could use that wrench on starvation plantation lol! Glad you enjoyed all the !!
Scale Military--ill post pictures of the you sent me when you finally get your !! I can't believe customs let it through!

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
I was looking at some knives and realized that I never posted pictures from jerryd6818. Very sorry about that, I've been crazy busy since the storm on 8/10 and Dove season opened Tuesday and have been occupied by that too.
I was really surprised by the knife in the second photo; I'm quite fond of Buck Knives too! As always this was a lot of fun.

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Ryan, can you tell me anything about that knife? I have piddled around with it a bit an have gotten it to work. It is a fast firing joker!

I'm going to post some pictures of it and see if anyone might be able to identify it. It sure seem not to be a POS.

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
Philip--I have a few like that that my dad bought at a flea market years ago... they are made in China even though they say USA on them ( the ones I have left are a little different but they were made by the same company)he used to get them for five bucks a piece at the flea market and we would take them to work and sell them for 10 bucks a piece ...they're not bad for a knife you're not worried about abusing or losing...I can't recall ever sharpening one so I don't know what kind of edge they'll take or hold.. people who would buy them from us (mostly truck drivers, my dad was head of shipping at our mill for 25 years so he dealt with dozens of drivers every day) were just enamored with them because they were a switchblade for 10 bucks

David, looks like you may have a prize in there besides the smoked oysters. Is that one of the aluminium framed Queen Barlow?

Here's my Package of Snacks from DM11
Thanks Dave, my cats have been trying to bury them in their litterbox since they got here
I really like the Old Cutler, with some TLC, it might find its way into my pocket.
If I can find it in the Litter box
Enjoy the oysters and Gummy Bears

Re: COVID 2020 POS exgange
I had a pleasant surprise this morning! Just piddling around before church time, I picked up the little frozen up Ridgid 4" adjustable that Stanwade sent me during the Covid POS and it was free a can be! I had put some oil on it a first and got it to move about 1/2 turn but no more so I just left it laying on the bench and this morning, like I said it was free like a new wrench. Thanks again, Ryan!treefarmer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 11:27 pm First off I want to say I didn't realize how far it it is to Pennsylvania.
