thats sweet!

Did'ja click in and tromp around the living room yet?

I'm not quite sure where my Posidriv #3 screwdriver has gotten to. The integral ski/binding setups are trivial to mount but finding something like that in my cellar is a real scavenger hunt at the moment since I have a second house worth of stuff down there.

I just clicked on the UPS trackinng number. The origination point was West Springfield, MA last night. They're already on a brown delivery truck coming up the hill from RutVegas. I don't think I ever clicked "Buy It Now" on eBay and had skis show up the next day. I think everything I've ever bought came from the rockies or the west coast.

I just flagged down the UPS truck as I was driving down the Access Road. The skis still in the plastic wrapper and the binding box are now in my kitchen. I clicked "Buy it Now" 25 hours ago. That's a personal record for fast delivery.

You got those from Colorado Ski Shop, a shop local to me where I have done business & know the owner. He's a good man & usually always ships things out pretty quickly. Especially this time of year. Enjoy the new skis!

Bunch of stuff on the way. Sleeveless bike jersey today (only to be worn where nobody knows who I am,) cyclocomputer with altimeter tomorrow, backpack for commuting sometime next week or so, and Greg Stump 4 pack next week. Plus a 12 pack of MST3K that I nabbed for a mere $50.
Everything's here now. Hadn't gotten around to setting up the cyclometer before my previous rides, about to that. Backpack should work ok for BC stuff too, but probably should've bought a BC pack for commuting instead of the other way around. DVDs today. Fistful of Moguls is good stuff, Glen Plake for President in 2012!

I discovered that the evil PayPal pulled money out of my checking account instead of my credit card. My 'good deal' cost me an extra $22.00 for the overdraft charge. I doubt my irate complaint to PayPal is going to compensate me for that $22.00 but you never know... I might end up with an eBay coupon.

PayPal will ask you to confirm whether the funds are to come from a checking account or PayPal balance. I don't know what criteria they use to set a default...

Ask, and ye shall receive....

Paypal said:
Because we value you as a member and want your experience with PayPal to be a positive one, I am going to issue you a credit in the amount of $22.00 USD, as a one-time courtesy. Please understand that this is a one-time exception, and we will be unable to make any further exceptions to this policy going forward. Please allow 2 business days for this to be reflected in your PayPal balance.

Paypal is really annoying when you want to pay by credit card. They always want to suck money out of your bank account instead since they make more money on the transaction.

They're the same skis just different graphics for 2009. My current skis never let me down and I love how they ski so I decided to get the same ones just longer. I'm going from 167cm. to 174cm. I've skied around 75 days on my current skis so I figured I'll need new ones soon so I got them.:daffy::spin::daffy::spin::daffy::daffy:
