I think there's something we've learned about you, Mark. You go out too much.

I was in my living room or kitchen the entire time!!!

If you wait till tomorrow, call them today to make sure they hold it at the P.O. Otherwise, it goes back on a truck for delivery. I think.

Just went up to my local P.O. to confirm it stays there until I pick it up :)
 
Haha! It’s pretty maddening to make sure you’re home two days in a row only to have this happen. Gonna head to the post office now and be ‘that guy.’

Well here, 'attempted delivery' means the bloke filled out a card saying 'you weren't home, pick it up after 1600' and stopped his van long enough to leave it in your mailbox. We watched him do it, more than once. And yes, I was that waspish middle aged sheila who expressed my annoyance to anyone within earshot.

I didn’t see them do it, so I’m gonna keep it together...for now

I bet it never got ON the truck. That's why Duke got the message he did when he checked using his phone. They just delivering a notice to his mailbox would be easier than actually delivering the bass. I'm a big defender of the P.O. but stuff like this...

It’s just peculiar to me. Either myself or the girl were within 20 ft (3 kangaroo hops, or whatever it is you people measure with these days). I’ve had decent luck with the local P.O., really good luck with local fedex and the worst luck with UPS
 
... and while yer at it... give us the names & addresses of a bunch of the folks in yer neighborhood. We'll all call in as if we were all people on your postal worker's route, who didn't get their packages;)

You are attracted to the 6 band EQ? How about a parametric? Empress ParaEQ?

I have an Empress Para EQ. Gotta say, it’s ok, but not great. Pretty fussy to quickly dial in live. The parametric eq on my Grace Felix upright pre is the business though

Everybody's good in the swamp...it's a small town in the South . Jesus would be mad if they were mean to your face. Just don't turn your back.

Well this sort of thing didn't happen here before the PO was privatised. That's all I'm saying.

That's a good regional unit of measure. I'm pretty sure all kangaroos are metric...
