Handle with care? Right.

I received a package from FedEX yesterday that looked like it had been dropped in a lake. It was nearly falling apart.
Also, have y'all noticed how many items on the shelves in grocery stores look like they've been run over by a truck?
No one seems to care or take pride in their work.

I get frustrated when I get crappy packaging jobs. You can literally stand on the last couple boxes I’ve sent out.

More great packaging

Road trip day today. Went up to see the Yankee Fork gold dredge but stopped in Ketchum to snap a quick pic

That is a great pic Jeff. More about this gold dredge?

Why that must be Italian!

Yankee Fork gold dredge, built in ‘40. Has a couple 7cyl Ingersol engines driving generators which power all the electric motors. The size of the machine is crazy. The trommel was huge compared to what I expected. Has a rock chucker on one side. Each of the buckets weighs more than our car lol. Really impressive beast!

I didn’t take pics of the outside this time as when I was there in the off season I took a bunch. Yeah… can’t find those pics now. Doh

Side note, I see the website likes to re-orient pics again. Ugh. I give up.

That trommel looks so long in the pic. I looked at the website, just crazy!

I need to get out and go panning.

Favorite Christmas flick along side of NL Christmas Vacation.

Apparently the revolving door has been a problem, maybe like with birds and windows.

How much are they drinking?
Jacksonville to Memphis, and now Atlanta. I live on the Gulf Coast, west of Jacksonville (straight shot on I-10).

This was my USPS package of the week. From CA directly to my local town of Richmond, Va. Then they decided to ship it 2 hours east to Tappahannock, VA. Before returning it back to its destination of Richmond. Just a simple day delay. Which, TBH, is great for them! They usually take 3-4 days to recover from their simple mistakes!

I stopped on the side of Va Rt 301 on the way to a job in Maryland last week to take a pic of this marker. The actual location of JWB's death used to be marked in a part of the median in the middle of the road, but these days there is nothing to mark it, as the state does not want you to stop for it. For safety sake, I can completely understand as you used to have to park on the side of the road and hike across a 55-60mph highway to get there, and of course since most people are idiots these days, more deaths would occur at this location. As I remember it, there was just a stone in the ground to mark the spot, so nothing to really see anyway. Just kinda fascinating that the location of where one of the US' most infamous assassins died is in the median of a modern local highway.
