Well no box at my house ! I live on a main RD how much you wanna bet that just after UPS left it on my front porch so close to Christmas that someone thought they scored on a good gift being delivered and stole it !! I actually have to laugh thinking when they opened it they said..... what the heck is this stuff???. but I'm n ot laughing thinking there's a thief taking parcels....

Well they will redeliver and ask for a signature this time. still I was hoping I would be bricking by now!!! grrrrrrrr.

Jim, after they resend, get the new UPS tracking # from them, then go to UPS.com and you can set it up to email you when it's delivered. Curious... do you still have the old tracking #? I'd like to look at it for ya. We've been getting a spat of packages delivered to the store that are actually addressed to residential addys in Holyoke. We sign for the whole load, then find them later. The package shows as being "delivered" but unless you look close, you might find that it was "delivered" to the wrong address.

In a related story of theft... I worked in a freezer warehouse with a guy who was having his Mt. Dew stolen off his equipment while he was outside grabbing a smoke. One day he instead left a "specially prepared" bottle in the same place, ice cold any everything. When he came back it was gone, but it was the last time it ever disappeared. :)

And in the realm of maple at the moment I am doing.... nothing. It's sad, really.

clan- how are you doing nothing? you have ur sugar shack all put up all ready? and the lines are ready to go? wow you can come over and work in my woods for a week and still not be done...lol i can keep u busy for 24hrs a day for a month, sugaring related or firewood related ive got alot of work to do

Pat
I have it at work and will double check the address again.

Thanks
Jim,

ps it would be unfortunate if they delivered to a wrong address and then did it again

Jim,

Might be worth checking around with the close neighbors and just make sure they didn't get it and haven't been home or too busy to deliver it too you.

Have been traveling and our computer took a digital dump. Just got the new one fired up tonight and guess what the first site I went to? Yeah right here!

HAPPY NEW year to all!

Syrup and honey orders are pouring in! I may have to buy some syrup!

Getting to late to browse much have early date with bunch of whitetails and the smokepole.

Regards,
Chris

Hey Jim! Did ya have insurance on it??

UPS provides free insurance on everything up to $ 100. Doubt if they would do anything with this since they say it was delivered, but might be worth checking into.

i tried to wire tie mainline to the wire and it was a fight every step of the way, im never getting black wtr pipe again, im tired of dealing with it, thank god i only have about 250 ft left of the 1000 ft roll it i like the maple flex because today it was 5 outside and i know from last year the mapleflex unrolls just fine in the cold weather but not wtr pipe!! i cant wait to see what happens to the stuff i did get up today, when it warms up, its probably gunna be squigley and curly and all f'ed up, uhhhhhgggg i ended up saying to hell with it and working on putting up my new tank shed at the bottom of the bush, at least the ol husky works just fine in cold weather!!!, the nails dont like it so much, nor the lumber or pole logs, lots of splinters

No neighbors, no insurance... new stuff coming next week no extra cost to me... just aggravating is all!!
