Ohh NOOOoooooooooo... #-oScottyDaQ said:... That will bring up another webpage called ePhotoHut.net ...
wdroller said:My pit crossed into VA around 7:30 p.m. 12/5 , and I expect you VA boys to keep your greasy hands away! :grin:
wdroller said:No pit yet! But she left Gator Pit on the 1st in the p.m., moved on up to Dallas by way of Hawthorne and Hutchins, TX (that's to the NW and I live to the NE--Go Figure). She then moved up to Floyd, TX on the 4th. At 6:a.m. this morning she had reached Beulah, AR. Been making good time today and is now in Bellwood, TN.
The most direct route would have been NE through LA and north, so I suspect Rich knows something about those LA boys that he not telling.
I'm not into all this new digital photography, but I'll get some pictures up on the internet someway. I tried to get Chris and Rich to take some for me as they were manufacturing, but I guess they were too busy. My old F2 keeps plugging along and I hate to replace it. Check your PM.
wdroller said:Well, my pit left Bealeton, VA just before midnight on the 5th and went north to Morristown, NJ. Had to pass within five mile of my house here in Bel Air as it went by. It's still in Morristown, but it's due to come south and be in Jessup, MD tomorrow by 8:00 a.m., once again passing within five miles of my house as it goes south to about halfway between Baltimore and DC. Then, tomorrow it could possibly be put on a truck to come back north to Bel Air. If it's not delivered tomorrow, there is no way it can be delivered Friday if all this snow comes. My driveway is 120 yards long and cleaning snow from it can be a big job--my wife doesn't work nearly as fast as she used to.
Right now I'm thinking of naming my pit The Wayward Bitch.
In short, I expect to have the pit early next week, and I would be very surprised to have it tomorrow.
Bah! Humbug!!
wdroller said:Well, Rich, you gotta surprise coming. My pit is on its way back to Dallas. Using the tracking number Chris gave me, I followed my pit all the way to Bealeton, VA. Since then it's been everywhere you can think of.
I was guranteed delivery today (the 8th) or tomorrow.

Finney said:Damn.... I really missed a chance to get the old "Gator Tracker" out on this one. #-o LOL
It started out so well too. Not like Larry's that was a cluster from the start. 8-[
Nope... no time. It's a traveling weekend. Aren't they all?Larry Wolfe said:Finney said:Damn.... I really missed a chance to get the old "Gator Tracker" out on this one. #-o LOL

Well from the track it's taking, it sounds like you are gonna have plenty of time to get the Gator Tracker out!!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeey! I'm here, what am I???? 8-[
wdroller said:Well, I took early retirement a couple of years ago and have been taking it really easy, watchin' the blood pressure and all that health stuff. I drive the speed limit, keep out of the left lane, haven't shot a squirrel (no double entendre intended) or kicked a dog in all that time--but I'm startin' to get pissed. I have purposely refrained from looking at what I am paying for shipping my pit because there is a limit to what I can take. But if those SOB's from the trucking company call during tomorrows 5" snowfall wanting to get up my driveway (@120 yards)--well it will be a three-pill day to say the least. Today has been a three martini day, and I have the makings handy to make tomorrow a banner day!
Bah! Humbug!!
wdroller said:Well, thanks, Rich. But I'm not going to bother Chris about this. It's not his fault, nor is it your fault. I'm so disgusted with not being able to get in touch with someone (I've left lots of recorded messages) at the local trucker that I've given up. I did get to talk with someone last Thursday afternoon who, when she put me on hold, cut me off. She didn't bother to call back all afternoon. It's like brisket--It's done when it's done. It'll be here when it's here. If it looks like I'm not going to have pulled pork next weekend, I'll just drop in to those Virginia boys!
Hope you know my quarrel is not with Gator Pit. However, you may want to consider splitting your shipping between a couple of companies, letting each know they have a chance for all the business. Such may get rid of any complacency that exists.
I used to define eternity as One Ham, Two People. Now I define it as Waiting for a Gator Pit.! :grin: :grin:
