I missed this when it happened

Just more headaches to deal with. As everyone in each will be running like chickens with their heads cutoff. Everytime I think I got the parts thing figure out someone has to throw a monkey wrench into the works.

With Jack's being brought out by Northern Tools they are still in a mess. And now it is like Gardner shut down their website over the Holiday weekend. I was need to look up parts and update my price files over the long weekend, well that's not getting done. And of course my salesperson is a space cadet too.

And then I got notice from Amazon that I returned a package. How can I when I never received it. So I call the Ferengi Amazon have working for them and finally found out UPS damage the package and had return it. Amazon issued a credit for parts and that I would have to re-order the items. Well I order what I needed from Harbor Freight instead. Then late Saturday I get another email from Amazon saying my package will arrive by Wednesday. Just some more space cadets working at Amazon.

Just don't need these problems with my Afib acting up. At least it is settling down a little.
