She is correct - just finished the sidewalk after going to get more gas. It's no MN/WI/ND, but it still sucks. To keep it Roscoe-related...I have a tracking number.

Ditto on the don't like, although I won't say I wouldn't ever buy one. I looked at a headless Roscoe at The Atlanta Bass Gallery. Even strapped it on and played it. It just looked weird looking down at it! It was like my left eye was covered and my right had a blinder on it and couldn't see the entire fretboard to the headstock.
The other issues I would have with owning one are: 1) It can't hang in my bass wall hangers, 2) It can't hang in my stage Hercules stands at gigs, 3) I'll have to buy extra dedicated stands for it for at home and to store in my grab-n-go gig equipment bag, which is already stuffed.
But man that bass is beautiful!!

Yeah not being able to hang from my wall and show it off would be a major no for me. I have all my basses hanging on the wall using Hercules hangers.

That is a lot of snow!!! I was stationed in Grand Forks, ND in the 70's and saw snow drifts up to second story levels. There were snow tunnels throughout the family quarters leading from the front doors to the sidewalks/streets. It got to -84 chill factor. White-outs were terrible, too!! I recall coming home after my shift and went into the freezer section and grabbed an ice tray (remember those!) for ice for my alcoholic drink and the ice tray felt warm in my hands. That cold/freezing weather is no joke!!!

Man I totally love the headless Roscoe’s. I love the simple R on the “head-nub” LOL.
I had a NS Design headless bass and it balanced beautifully, since all the weight was at the body, but it is an acquired taste. And it definitely doesn’t work with all accessories 
And I’m with @steelin4u - running out of places to put all this effing snow

They make wall hangers for headless. I have one for my Kiesel.
I’d have to have a fake head to go over that “head-nub”! 
You don’t have a need for a tuner on a headless bass Ray. Since it’s headless it doesn’t have ears so it couldn’t hear if was in tune or not!

Wow! Lots of snow!
Tracking number? Did I miss something while in the cabin at the mountains?
Good one, Joe!You don’t have a need for a tuner on a headless bass Ray. Since it’s headless it doesn’t have ears so it couldn’t hear if was in tune or not!

I think that tracking device is on his belt so that his wife can find him in the snow!!
I was expecting a tracking number today, too, but that snow storm wrecked those plans.

No. I left her safe and warm in my music room!
Really ready to get acquainted now!
She’s in a stand next to me ... to tired of driving to play it right now!
Keith also texted me last night and said that Blondie should be going out in a couple days. Hopefully that’s sooner than 2 more weeks!

IKR! Sometimes he gets in good ones, so I have to give credit. But he’ll come with something off the wall and I’ll have to take my credit back.
