water, salted - check
tub for swishing, check
caffeine to keep me awake - check

now if southwest would just find it I'd be set

For real? What time is it supposed to be there?

 

[elzool]

Supposed to have been on a flight that landed an hour and a half ago.

Called them already and they haven't seen it, about to call again.

 

[elzool]

annnnd it didn't make the flight it was supposed to be on

It's on a later flight.... looks like I should start dosing the caffeine now.

elzool - Same thing happened on my part one. They told me that sometimes it may get bumped to the next flight. Waited for the next flight and it was there. Second shippment was on schedule.

Mine made both original flights...my part 1 was a direct flight but there was a delay from Tampa to Baltimore on part 2...it was on the plane, but they were going to bump it at Baltimore and I had such nice people from Southwest. They made sure to get it on the flight from Baltimore to Islip so we could get it that night and it didn't sit in the hanger all night in freezing weather.
Of course, it didn't come in until 11pm, but at least we had it that night with no loss of life.

my 1st shipment was about 18 hours late

todays is only scheduled to be 6 hours late... if they stick to the schedule that is...

time will tell

Sorry to hear that.

I am getting my Part 1 delivered today. It is supposed to arrive at 9:55 PM tonight. I have to drive 2 hours to the airport to pick it up so delays would be a real hassle. Pictures to follow…

 

[Safir]

make sure to call the airline before you leave for the airport then, would hate for you to have to sit around the freight dock for hours waiting for it.

 

[elzool]

took the text right outta my box

couldn't agree more

 

[bkelley02]

Might want to also make sure that the airfreight offices or open for pick ups if it's late. Mine came in on a Sunday after 2 pm and I had to wait till monday to pick it up.

 

[bkelley02]

Well....... I didn't wait in the parking lot all night or anything, but I did need to drive back up the next morning.

 

[jallen1964]

All of mine arrived on time at a decent time in the afternoon Have a great evening. It took me hours and hours to get my part 2 the way I wanted it.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Cool--you guy's. It's like Christmas morning.

My first and second parts come exactly on time to the minute. Richard is very consciemces.

Enjoy.

 

[Red_Six]

Just got home. About to open the first box:strooper:

 

[elzool]

Richard was very considerate of my requests as well. Southwest airlines on the other hand wasn't very thoughtful.

It finally got here and back to the house at 830 tonight. It's 1230am and I have just finished cleaning up and putting all the boxes outside.

Two shaving bushes, a few loose plants, a condi and another white anemone thingie. One HUGE freaking flat piece of rock with what looks like an apricot on it.

My wife was about to go to bed but wanted to help me crab. Together we caught 47 gorillas before entry.

When shaking everything off I iddn't notice at the time, but a 3" mantis fell off.

Low battery light just came on the laptop. More in the AM

THANKS RICHARD!!!

 

[Grand Wazoo]

47 gorillas?

 

[drk70]

The problem I had with the second shipment was the darn thunderstorms that time of year. They closed the runways down and wouldn't let the cargo people out to unload the planes. I sat around for hours waiting. I was putting rock in my tank at midnight also.

47 gorillas - Better out of the tank then in the tank.

 

[elzool]

yes, 47 gorillas... sounds like it could be a punchline to a bad joke
little ones, a few mediums, nothing too big though

that mantis sure is anxious to get outta this container

What are you going to do with the mantis? I think I have a couple of old PMs from people that wanted mine, maybe they will take it?
