If it weren't for my Mom and Dad, I wouldn't have gone nuts this past week!LOL! I've been saying. If it wasn't for Mom and Dad I would have gone nuts this past week.

Truck died and no one around here can see it for 3-4 weeks. Dad is lending me enough to get a run around car that is more economical than the truck and I'll have something to drive while waiting to get the truck fixed. Meanwhile, been on vacation...stuck in Lingle for a week, yippee!

Bummer about your truck, PF. Sorry that your vacation wasn't exactly like you wanted. I know that there are worse places to be stuck than at home and close to family.
That stinks! Too bad you couldn't cancel your vacation and save it for later.
I would not have been able to get to work anyway. Town is ten miles away. I got to watch movies and sleep in as much as the animals would let me. A couple of days spent with Mom and Dad, I am happy. Just wish I hadn't had to buy a used car to get me back to work on Tuesday. This vacation cost me more than most.
No, it wasn't. And as you can see in my post from last Thursday, it wasn't going to be delivered on Friday. It could have been delivered Saturday...if I was willing to be up and dressed before 7:30 AM....New black range getting delivered Thursday afternoon...
We left for the family owned appliance store up in Worcester, ordered the same stove (that was priced $20 than Lowe's), and have it in a delayed order submission file so that it will be processed on Saturday
Maynard, huh? You must be not too far from Benson's Ice Cream in Boxford. Really good ice cream. Really far away from us. We've been there only twice - once by happenstance, once on a Saturday drive with Himself's sis and BIL when they still lived up here.
We do try to shop at Lowe's whenever we need something that they sell because our daughter has worked at a Lowe's in OH for about a decade. We try to support her employer when we can. However, we've decided that, unless it's a cash-and-carry purchase, we'll just shop at small, family stores. It's not worth the extra money to run our blood pressures up - after all, I've got mine managed the best I have in a long time (122/76) .
Casey, we never had problems with deliveries from Lowe's in the past. Our most recent was our dryer in April, 2016. Since then they've changed to this XPO service. It looks like Home Depot and Amazon have been using them too. Thankfully, anything Himself orders from Amazon can come via USPS. I guess Amazon is starting to do their own deliveries. Probably got tired of customer complaints about lousy delivery service.
Hope life back to work is treating you better than your truck has, PF.
Um, just curious. You can't rent cars in Wyoming? How about UBER? A ride from a neighbor?

We have had that happen also and I agree with you.The only issue I have with the USPS is their 'last mile' delivery contract they have with Amazon. As a Prime member I usually get next day or second day deliveries and some of them fall on a Sunday. And Sunday deliveries are almost always made by the USPS.
My gripe is that the USPS will tag the delivery as "delivery attempted, cannot access premise", or something like that. This happens every time. I am physically there expecting my delivery and when I check tracking info I get that message. I realize that USPS isn't making a dime on these Sunday deliveries, but geez, then drop the Sunday deliveries.
That's so frustrating. You could type your post into Word, so you'll have it saved, and then copy & paste it into your blog post when it's done. Just remember to save it every few minutesI just spent about 5 hours putting ini information about avocadoes, aand great recipes to use them in, in my blog. Somehow, I accidently erased all of it when trying to publish. i have o write that one all over again tomorrow. Very heavy sih, At least I know what recipes I'll be using, and the idea of the text. It should go a little faster.
