Title: Tubes
Post by: dw230 on June 30, 2012, 04:11:46 PM
While checking my email this morning I found this note from JoAnn from the SCTA-BNI office:

"Dan – can you please mention that the “tubes” are out in the mail this week. (by bulk mail)  - Poster, pit pass, patch & decal - plus the July StraightAway newsletter."

The arrival of your "tube" highlights the fact that SpeedWeek draws near - pick up the pace!

The tubes arrived here in Skandia, Michigan today - the 7th of July.  Thanks for the advance warning, Dan, and thanks for getting them out with ours near the top of the pile, JoAnn.  I haven't opened them yet (Nancy and I have separate memberships) so I don't know whom should get the hurrahs for being on the poster.  But - the tubes have arrived.  Yee-hah!  We leave for the salt in four weeks from today.

I got my tube today and it was flat and torn in the middle. The poster was wrinkled and the decal was screwed up. The USPS is a poor excuse of having the pride of the past. It no good to bitch with them. they don't care and they are going broke like the rest of the government run enterprises. I use FedEx and UPS to ship anything.

Nothing in Kansas yet.... Hopefully before I leave for Speedweek.  Used to leave 8-10 days early headed to Denver to get the Bockscar ready to go, didn't get my tube before I left many times.  I still have 12 days before I head out this year.

I got my tube monday.  It was in good shape.

Glenn, I guess since I retired from the Post Office the mail service has just went down hill.  OH,they miss me [ like a head ake].

Trent, it's too bad that your mail deliverer isn't as friendly as Marty and Gary, the guys that bring ours.  Both of them (and UPS and FedEx, for that matter) know to walk into the garage and leave stuff near the back walk door.  They get Bonneville t-shirts each year - so maybe there's a good reason we get service like that. :-D

our group of houses has the mail at the turnoff for the county road. A mile from the house and the drive is 200 feet long. UPS and Fedex are cool. If we got our stuff togethere we can petition the postal service for boxes at the end of our driveways. Our group of 24 houses is pretty dysfunctional tho. Kinda like a soap opera. Poster is in flattening mode, sticker is on the cooler and my pin is in the glovebox already!
