Bummer  on the TV - at least NY mode worked... hopefully they will make it  
right.

I can't sleep late either... once there is light or noise I  usually get 
up.  On weekends if one or both of the boys get up early my  wife gets up with 
them, then when I get up she goes back to bed... when I'm up  I'm up.
Me too, if I wanted to go back to sleep, it's not gona  happen.



Have I mentioned my mail carrier is awesome?  I strap  packages that won't 
fit in my mailbox to the top with bungee cord - he takes  them and puts the 
cord in the mailbox.  Helps me not have to make so many  trips to the PO... 
is there a limit on size/weight you can give to your mail  carrier when you 
pay postage online?  I know it is 13 ounces if you use  stamps.
If I remember correctly, you must bring any package over 13  ounces to the 
PO. Their thinking is if it's a bomb they have you on camera. Even  as a 
carrier we were told if it looks shady DON"T take it.  Red flags  were 
addressed to government officials, no return address, and the ever  popular 
news 
paper print.

Well, I happen to have an early delivery this morning  between 8:00-12:00 
but I am usually an early riser, LOL. 
 After 7-8 hours of sleep I'm tossing, so I get  up. 
I just got a call and they will be here around  9:30.
     I'll try to keep this short,  so............ Yesterday we had a tech 
install our new 40 in. Sony TV over  our fireplace, surround sound, blue Ray 
player, cable. Also a 19 in. flat  screen wall mounted in the bed room.  It 
got crazy, (the set up).   After it was all setup, we stood back and fired 
this puppy up.  ............... The LCD screen was cracked, damaged. We were 
not happy  campers. I get on the phone and go into NY mode. (the squeakiest 
gear gets  the most oil) They have to replace it obliviously, but..... 
redelivering the  replacement would not happen until after the weekend. 
     Me? Miss the Daytona 500 on  a 40 in. Soooo, after I let them have it, 
they said a tech will bring a  new one out first thing in the morning. It 
has yet to arrive so time will  tell.

Frank why are you up early?  Aren't you retired?

I  have a 20 month old alarm clock.

Days like this I wish I hadn't  given up caffeine...
