Let's start over......
They have to wait that long before they collect enough packages to make it worth driving all the way down to "BFE" where you live.....
It's only going to Grapevine. When stuff comes here it leaves DFW fast, usually within a few hours. Hopefully it gets delivered Monday, more time ups has it more chance of it being damaged
Booked the family vacation this week -- the three of us are heading up to Lake Tahoe for a week the end of July! The last "big" family vacation we took was two summers ago to Disney World -- for my taste, one solid week of unadulterated misery.......
Tahoe should be much better for the things the boy and I like to do -- nice cool weather, some decent hiking, maybe a run up to Donner State Park to look at the exhibits about the infamous Donner Party, do the Zephyr Cruise on the lake one day, etc......
Would kind of like to be up there for "Hot August Nights" but that would probably be a little too "car centric" to keep the wife happy.....

Sounds fun, we are booked mid July for Colorado again. Love that state, instead on Colorado Springs we are going up to Denver Area, found a nice cabin about 15 miles east In a rural area. The boy starts school in August so we had to adjust vacation, been going around Sept/Oct years past
Also thinking about doing a road trip to Albuquerque over Christmas so the boy can see where his mom grew up!
Kind of trapped in the neighborhood here today -- there's some stupid "Iron Man" competition going on and our subdivision is surrounded by the bicycle route! Can't get out one of our entrances and the other has a flagman there with a big back-up of cars while everyone waits for these meatheads to ride through town on their bikes.....
Good grief, just had a interesting hour. We headed to the New Walmart in town to get some Tiki Torches. I'm driving the M CLASS this week. Get half way there and come up on a policeman sitting at a cross road. We passed by him and he fell in behind us, got about 3 miles down the road and another cop got behind the first one.
We are thinking what the heck, kept going and then a detective car joined, all of a sudden the cops got on both sides and the detective In front and flipped on the lights. I immediately pulled over, all 3 jumped out of the car told me to get out.
They thought I was involved with a hit and run causing injury that happened about a hour before. They said a maroon suv was involved with left side damage. I nicely told them it wasn't us and the damage happened in November last year, the detective kept arguing that the damage is consistent with what witness' said. I pointed to the fender and said it's rusty, no way in hell it would rust in a hour, he then mouthed off saying the vehicle is clean and I could have washed it, therefore it rusted. WTF.
After being detained for 30mins and a bunch of back and forth they finally decided they had the wrong vehicle! My wife pulled out the accident report from November showing the detective and that seemed to help. Over all it was a hell of a experience
