Your package now qualifies for frequent flier mileage upgrade. Would you like you package to have a big bow on it when it arrives, or maybe be delivered with a few airplane bottles of booze?

The post office here in Jackson, MS sends everything that is mailed here to Memphis (200+ miles away) for sorting, and then mail going to Jackson is sent back here.

As long as the thing arrives in 1 piece I'll be happy.
If it arrives and has any major issues I'll be out thousands of dollars this week.
I've already made arrangements with another framing to use their joiner on thursday and friday night if I have any issues.

The activity in Windsor was customs activity ahead of the package while the package was on the way from CA to OH. It was only information being passed, not the package. Only the arrival and departure scans are hands-on-package events.

Don't try and make sense of this.
Let me be freaked out, I feel better that way. :datawiz:

The main Amazon distribution center is located pretty nearby in Kansas. This sort of stuff doesn't happen when I order from them.

Yes the machine is here and works perfectly except for an air leak from one of the parts underneath.
I talked to the lady who sold me the machine and she is reimbursing me $150 for the part.

Of course I'll believe it when the cheque clears.

It's working pretty good. My poor 6 gallon compressor is not liking the air leak.
It's on almost constantly because of the air leak in the joiner. I can smell it it's working so much.

Well I've been awake since Thursday 5am.
About an hour ago I finished all the work I can with the materials I have.
Need to go to sleep but having a tough time winding down.

I think tomorrow is definitely going to be a ribeye steak night witha baked potato and all the fixin's.

So...what exactly is it?


And I hear ya on the air leak.

my shop has a 60 gallon 7hp Porter Cable Jetsream compressor, works great. I bolted it to the shops foundation, and ran hard lines back to the wall, then ran it around the back wall of the shop, to a water seperator, then 3 feet later, into a regulator, then 2 feet later, into a hose reel mounted to the wall.

5 years now, the whole system has been flawless.

Then about 2 months ago I go out there and my water seperator seems to be leaking badly..I touch it and it blows apart...so I have to stop everything, take the hose reel apart, take the regulator off, and then remove the seperator, and spend 30 bucks to put in a new one, and put the back half of the air system back together.

Then 2 days ago I turn on the main tank valve and PSHHHHHHHHH. regulator is leaking out the top under the handle. I put in new orings, cleaned it out, but it leaks.

My comp comes on at 100psi, and shuts off at 140. If I dont use it, and leave the valve open, it will come on for about 30 seconds...and stay off for about 5 minutes. Drives me fuggen insane, but dammit, it will take 2 hours to take the system back apart....
