Your Henry rifle is being delivered to the wrong gun shop with a similar name 7 hours away same state just the way other end !
This due to the shop I bought it from on line. It is being straightened out now and maybe see it by end of week. I gave the correct address of my FFL but the shipping dude just glanced at the name and thought it was the other place. On their dime to get it here!
Good thing I checked the FedEx tracking!

I've had similar problems, but delivered to another state. I got it re routed, it made it back to the same hub that sent it to the wrong state, and the bastich's sent it back to the wrong state. Third time was the charm.

We had a similar situation when I first started flying in the Reserves. We were deployed on a 10 day "floater" mission in Europe. We during that time you usually get a day or two off, but we just couldn't get a break. They kept promising us a day, but it never materialized. Flying is hard on the body, especially with the long days we put in, and it definitely is cumulative. Anyway, the night before we were scheduled to go home, we ran into another crew in Rhein Main. They were complaining that they hadn't flown in days, and wanted to get back in the air. They were tired of sightseeing in Frankfurt, and taking Rhine river tours. Turns out their Aircraft Commander's name was almost the same as ours, and we had been getting all their missions, as well as our own. By the time we found out it was too late to do anything about it.

Just got the paperwork out on my old Trane 13i unit. It turned 20yrs. on June 10 of 2022. Might be a good time to replace.
Think the new units come with a free window scraper to remove the frost from inside the windows!

How did you take care of the a/c? Glad you got stuff taken care of.

Removed the side panel where the electrical connections are located and saw wire burned off the starter capacitor. Replaced
capacitor and made up a new lead. Works fine now. It's 20 years old and anything can break on it at any time so still going to price a new Trane unit
tomorrow.

I heard once that reading was fundamental.....or so it was said.
