Nope, I deal with shipping all the time and nothing surprises me anymore. Stuff get broken and stolen all the time, shippers even have certain now requirements for high value items because they know there employees steal them
well after the item went "home" they sent it back ups... says its on my front porch now....
now for something fever related, im about to bite the bullet and order two fusion 40s in red/amber for the side windows of the escape. see how they do through factory tint
was trying to mpow this weekend... wouldnt stop raining. got my biggest yard started (an acre) and it came a down pour...
hauled everything back to town 8 miles away and it was getting dark but no rain... this yard takes a while to weedeat so i started weedeating it. got 3/4 of it done and jumped on the mower... surprise... rain. i kept mowing in the rain until i saw a bolt of lightning hit streets over from me..... i was 2 blocks from my house so i left. as soon as i hit the drive way hail and 50+ mph winds....
so i was done for the day on that. sunday i went back to the second yard after it got done raining and finished up that yard and the the clutch cable for the blades broke.... so now i have one of those on the way.... i could acutally be making money if crap would quit breaking....
and waiting on Feneix for my lights.... i doubt they will get here today on the day i needed them by.....
video of the green beacon i got for our command post for yesterday..
friday i just caught the guy who owns the metal shop in town... i got a pipe to go over the end of the cammo poles i use for my HAM stuff and a piece of scrap the right shape for the vaccum mag on the beacon... went to another guy who welded it for a donation..
i have it on the slow rotater pattern... and its 16 feet in the air
this was around 5pm yesterday
starting of "dusk"
night time (from aboput 1 feet away)
and when all the smoke was rolling in from the aerials it gave off a cool conical flash
(may need to go full screen to see it...)
i see now i VVSd the videos LOL ohh well. it was humid and hot as heck...
Last weekend after I call out I noticed 1 of my cannons had just upped and quit... double checked wiring after fusion install and it's nothing on my end... emailed feneix for a RMA to send this one back.
Since I don't want to take out the old one wait a week and put the new one back having to dismantle everything 2 times I decided to go the route of having to PAY for a replacement. When they receive the broken one I get a refund. Paid for it today and it's supposed to be here wednesday
well that was quick... i sent them that pic and how the light was installed but "it had to be that it was grounding out" got an email back saying they will credit this lighthead for the new one...
