Of receiving this by Friday. It's gonna be a box about 6 foot tall and 3 foot wide. Probably weigh around 70+ pounds. No doubt it will be shipped ground.

Just got a case of ammo from Midway in less than 48 hours. They estimated delivery in 72 t0 96 hours. Central Mo. to Central O. I didn't think it would happen either.

I'm curious to know what's in the box we're sending you from up here in Canuckistan

Edited to add: AFAIK, we don't do mail-order brides.

It's only Thursday, spare yourself the gloom and doom but I wonder how that first 24 hours were spent.

I get my coffee from a company in Ontario. It gets a few days "time out" in Customs before getting to Detroit. Then only about a week to the house. It might be a little longer since "the great reset." Joe

Rock sliders for my Tacoma. Only company I found that would make them out of aluminum instead of steel.

3RD GEN TACOMA ALUMINUM SLIDERS WITH REAR KICK OUT
– Greenlane Offroad



I wanted this style.

This is unreal. From start to finish it took 3 days for this beast of a package to go from BC Canada to Palm Coast Florida.

It took about as long to put them on as it did unboxing them. Every hole was perfect.

Oh I don't know, I bet there are some cute "imported" chicks in Canada, but I'm not sure where the tariffs would put you today??

My women are all into ancestry.com or some such nonsense,, I think her initial pedigree put the "honey badger" as Lithuanian,, I don't piss her off, and I don't call her honey badger to her face,, so??

I've never seen anybody get so excited about hand rails for the toilet before, certainly not excited enough to put them on that nice GM truck??
