I know how it feels, I find myself just staring at my bikes when I cant move forward with any work....my fiance thinks Im obsessed

I never disagree....



Hopefully I can get mine back on the road and around town in the next couple weeks. Carb rebuild, new gauges and a new battery and I'm up and running from a few weeks ago when I got my CX in a box.



Hope you get yours running soon.....

We have the joke over here about the British postal service.We reckon they wait around the corner for you to go out,then slip a note through your letterbox saying they couldn't deliver because you weren't in

I spent the last 4 hours loading those trucks just to rush home to get my package just to have a scribbled note on my door that was a trick to decipher. I guess my package is at the office and of course it's closed.

Bummer. Good one Dakota. That's how my dogs feel anytime we go to the car. They think they are going for a ride, but it doesn't happen as often as they'd like. It's also the way I'm feeling about riding weather.

Do they have rules saying you can't pull your own packages aside? That should be a perk to the job in my opinion.

They won't hold a package for me until a delivery attempt has been made.



I tried to have them hold the new camera I got and had to go through so much crap and they still tried to attempt delivery and then I could pick it up the next day at work.



What do they not understand about "I can't be there to get my package because I'm here working".

 

[Stubby]

As with most things, it's all in who ya know. I have a great relationship with our both of our mail carriers. Mostly because I keep our box and the neighbors free of snow through the winter (and spring, lol). So they leave packages on our front porch when we are not home.

 

[Blindstitch]

The mail man is a different story. He leave just about everything for me and if for some reason I know there's a package coming and I have to be at work I can catch him a half mile down the road and pick it up.

 

[Stubby]

My bad, you guys are taking about UPS and Fed ex aren't you. They're the same as USPS, they just leave it on the porch unless it has to be signed for.

 

[Jay Little buffalo]

Blindstitch that's a bummer considering u work there. And for everyone else been their too. Kinda like waiting for xmas as a kid lol. I am in hope they arrive soon, I got my fish liscence yesterday and all the I can take the truck nothing like winding down the curvey roads to get to the favorite fish hole lol enjoy the day I am off to work

 

[Jay Little buffalo]

Well finally got my parts yippie however still no word on when to expect my mech seal from Doward besides his wife sent it out lol. that kinda helps. so i can begin the rest of the job considering that seal is for rear cover i can do the rest while i wair. we are getting closer

 

[Blindstitch]

The good thing is I got my package today.

 

[rickbert]

When you're expecting a package and know you're not going to be home just leave a note on the door that refers to the package you're expecting saying "SIGNATURE WAIVED" !

That might work in Missouri but not here. I have left notes saying everything. So far as even giving the office power to sign for me and having it in the shipping instructions and in most cases they leave a post it saying signature required and take it to work.

 

[Jay Little buffalo]

Tuesday is my day off the job begins engine out cam in and hopefully I will get that water seal soon

Yea, I'm down to painting and getting those fan controllers manufactured. Spending almost the entire month in the hospital situation put another kink in me getting these things finalized.



I hate paint prep, to do it right takes a lot of time. Only one tiny worn indentation in one of the side covers I've got to fill and I need to finish super-fine sanding the sides and stripping/priming the tank. I've stripped to metal and etch primed the bottom but haven't done a thing to the main body of the tank, it takes a while to strip that tough paint down to bare metal.
