wiseass!  He dropped off my ETS loader today (Thanks, PR64!) while my grandson and I were unloading the dozer. I told him he was looking at an opportunity to deliver some REALLY heavy packages. He wanted to know what I was going to do with it and I told him "fix it up and putter around with it here." He says "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it run. Just remember, I only have two years until I retire." Methinks he knows me too well... Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | ||

I love my UPS guy.... can’t say the same about Fedex or post office. I don’t know how many times I have to tell the Jackasses at FedEx to ring my door bell because I often don’t hear a knock at the door from my office Or when I’m in the backyard. I have a ring doorbell installed so my phone notifies me when someone is at the door, but the Fedex people REFUSE to ring the doorbell so I constantly miss packages from those idiots | |||

Maybe put a note on the door saying “delivery persons please use doorbell”? Fedex is terrible here, too. | |||

My UPS guy was on time today. He brought supplies to reload for the early 80’s Smith Model 57, 41 Mag. | |||

My UPS guy is aces. He arrives at 11:30 AM, no matter what the Yoop weather is. He roars down my driveway, rapidly and perfectly parks his rig and always knocks loudly. He admires my BMW S1000XR, too. USPS and FedEx should hire him as a trainer. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I only knock or ring if I need a signature. I've got shit to do and don't want to wait around for someone to come to the door if I don't need to actually interact with them.

I don't like to leave things sitting out there without knowing about it, so a ring would be appreciated even if you ring-and-run without waiting for an answer. When I go to the door to answer the ring I will see the package even if you have departed at a high rate of velocity, assuming that I beat the Porch Pirates to retrieve the loot. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Likely common knowledge, but one can register at the UPS app/site and leave preferences. We live in a quiet, low to zero crime area, ‘porch pirates’ not allowed. I have a standing preference to leave packages inside the garage. It’s always worked well. If I need more than that, a note on the door works. If it’s a ‘signature required’ delivery, I try to be home, or sort it out, hold it, whatever. | |||

The UPS guy also knows he will be wearing out your driveway delivering parts for your new to you dozer. Job security & retirement package. PS. Somebody has to love on these old girls so future generations can enjoy rural life Americana. | |||
