Greetings, gang.
56 under very dark skies this morning. High today in the mid 80s.
Yesterday started out just fine. Tree removal, yard waste disposal, and shopping trips to Menards and Walmart all went according to the instruction manual. Then It went downhill. My hold mail was delivered (a day late) and contained the prior week's newspapers that I had requested be stopped. Head to their office to complain. Turns out the person who takes care of that is no longer there and no one else followed up. Problem supposedly resolved.
Then I discovered that a package that was supposed to be delivered with my held mail wasn't. My first thought was that maybe it was in the bundle of papers I took back. Another trip to their office. Nope, not there. Then check the tracking number, only to discover that it had been delivered 2 hours before the rest of my mail. Print out the tracking info and head to the post office. The postmaster calls the carrier and gets the situation resolved. It's on my porch by the time I return home. Finally!
Hopefully today will be less frustrating. I'm heading to Nebraska this morning for the train show. I'll be back sometime Monday.
All stay safe.
Tom
