There's a box in a UPS truck somewhere in Flagstaff that has been wandering the streets looking for my house since 4:30 this morning. It's coming from HPH with the ignition switch for the '70 rental 914 so I can drive it again. Most important it's got my shiny "new" heads so I can start the reassembly on the '73 engine. It's frustrating having to wait!

Ah yes, I hate those brown trucks, pass by my house 2 times a day, always teasing me....

What's worse is tracking it on a web site, and seeing that it says "delivered" when there is not a package anywhere to be seen.

FedEx did that on my last shipment. They delivered it to a neighbors house, even though the address was correct on the box and my neighbor wasn't home to sign for it either. Thankfully, I have honest neighbors.

The UPS guy never makes that mistake. He knows I'm the only "car" guy on the block.

I had a UPS truck come as late as 9 one evening. I think they beat them if they don't make all their deliveries. Why is my house always the last on the delivery route?

Good things come to those who wait! Finally showed up at about 8:45 p.m. Ain't they purty?!?! - well I was gonna post a picture but it says "You cannot upload this type of file". I've never had trouble with a jpg before!

Funny thing is, this same driver was at my wife's work at 2 this afternoon - less than a mile from here. If it had been the regular driver she could have asked him for the package, but this guy was a sub who was already running way behind.

Maybe it'll work this time
