I HATE USPS!!! 3DP, S19, Rain, PDC, Planting Plants, Bike Rack, Fire, Weeding, Grilling - Saturday
"THEY FUCK YOU AT THE POST OFFICE!" Said in my most Pesci sounding voice possible.
Yesterday morning we had a pretty solid cloud cover as the storms were heading our way. The 30% chance turned into a 100% chance by mid morning. The PDC was on so I had the matches on while I worked on my post.
I figured out how to get a longer chain printed but I have problems with the print sticking in some spots. This one got borked towards the end.
I had got thins ready the day before and then in the morning went and moved the S19 out of the greenhouse and in with the S9. It took a bit to get the power setup but they are both hashing away.
The correct print of the longer flail.
It was mid morning when the rains hit and we got a few solid down pours.
The second flail came out well.
Near 11am the real rains hit and the stream of the storm was right over us.
I had been waiting for my wing to deliver all morning and it was about 11:30 when we got the notification that the package was "held at post office at customer request". I DID NO SUCH FUCKING THING! I NEVER REQUESTED THAT!
I drove over in hopes someone would still be in back and nearly started kicking their door. I am still SO FUCKING pissed that someone made the decision NOT to deliver my wing. It is a quarter mile from me right now and I can't get it till tomorrow morning at 5am when I will be at their back door and I WILL get answers. This is outright bullshit and zero excuses will be valid. They fucked up again and as per the usual there is not one iota of recourse.
I got to see Barney finally win a match.
The rest of my day was pretty fucked after the package ordeal. I went and got the plants planted in the greenhouse and the watermelons in the garden.
Then I moved all the plants from the studio to the greenhouse where I watered them all real well.
I finally figured out the correct bike rack. We have the old fireplace guard that was not being used for anything so I bolted the 2 pieces together. I had to rake out the area and move a bunch of shit to make space. Pounded a couple of t-posts in to wire the rack to and the bikes fit perfectly. Much better than the pallet which was breaking apart.
Got the fire going in the pseudo-pit and let it burn a good ways before grilling.
This is the best weeding tool. It is FAR better than the hula hoe and cuts right through the dandelion roots. I got a good part of the yard cleared.
The shallots have been taken over by grass so I spent some time picking it out of a few of the plants. Still have a couple to clean up.
Something is wrong with the printer, it's not handling X/Y movement correct. Maybe one of the belts is wearing out? I'm running test prints to try and calibrate it now.
Burgers went on to grill and I went and raked up a bunch of the pine cones to throw on the fire after grilling.
Out to soak for a while but the muscle relaxer had me out and in bed.
Today I have more to do in the garden to get the fence up for the peas, LOL Utd are the WORST!!!!, PDC finals is on, grass needs cutting, chives all need to be moved, and I'm not sure what else for the day at this point.

good thing the post office didnt spoil your mood grilling that burger 😀
We have had the exact same statement, word for word, from the USPS when they don’t want to deliver on Saturday!🤬
I don’t know how they can get away with this…. This must be a blanket statement they use all over the country! 🤔
Never have I requested a package be held for my pick up!
