Well, they did force your parcel so the name fits.

Ouch! I can see by some of your delivery photos that I got off lightly!

It was a happy ending for me ... the correct Mapleglo has just turned up and it plays like a dream :)

I recall my first confluence.

Flew into Columbus, Basses went on to Atlanta

IIRC, he did! :wink:

he doesn't look panicky in this photo, though. 8)

Unfortunately, neither Brian Crisman or Randy Hawkins (both of whom were at the confluence) was around for the obligatory group photo. :(

After a three week heatwave in the UK the weather broke just as we waiting to go on stage-side! Talk about bad luck.

After an hours delay (due to Health and Safety, not our choice) we were eventually allowed on stage. The sun shone, the crowd came back, the RIC was fantastic ... a very satisfactory conclusion!

UPS has broken a few things I didn't think could break and FedEx sent my customer's underwater camera housing to the UK and then lost it. He lives in Maui!!! They found it a month later and decided Maui was nowhere near the UK and sent it to Canada!! It eventually got to Maui!! :shock: :shock: :shock: Oddly, I haven't had anything remarkable happen with the good old US Post Office except that they deliver things in one piece (to GUAM!!!!).

I use the USPS as much as I can. They even get mail from Michigan to England faster than they do to Arizona.
