Hey, our UPS guy is here so often that we know him by name, Jerry. Is that sick or what?

I used to keep all my boxes, but they started to give away my stealthy upgrades of my system. A few years ago I said to one of my friends "My wife has no clue how to operate or even identify any of my equipment. I'll bet she would not even notice if I got something different" Well almost 2 complete system upgrades later all she thinks is I did some trading back and forth. Well I must be Jesus, because I sure pulled a "loaves and fishes" and more than tripled the ammount of equipment I own and raised my CD collection from 500 to almost 2000 in a matter of 3 years (averaging $1000 a month in *ahem* trades). But the boxes for the most part have parted ways with me. (alot of the used stuff I bought didn't have a box anyway, or at least an original one) So my creed is once it is out of warrenty the box goes. Unless the component has a possiblity of a decent re-sale value....... hmmmmm wait a minute I have to chase down the recycling truck (While I am outside I might try and track down the UPS truck..... if that restraining order for stalking is over..... BTW I often sit at my computer hitting *refresh* on my UPS or FED EX tracking page... I just wish they had GPS in the trucks tied to a web-site so I could see in realtime where my new gear is..... I can see myself at 3:02 a.m. saying "put the box on the damn truck already! You are a major hub for crying out loud!" ) Yes it IS a sickness......

My UPS guy's name is Phil, and he really likes peppermint patties and hot chocolate we are a sick breed!

Tireguy, you made me laugh out loud and it was a really good "belly laugh" at that! Thanks :-} (as a matter of fact, every time I look back at your post, I laugh out loud again.. either you are really funny, or it's beeen a lonnnng week. Probably both!)

Well thank you Angela100, I am actually expecting a visit from my buddie phil this Wed. At least that is what the UPS tracking thing tells me, I will have hot chocolate with marshmellows, (yeah you guessed it phil likes marshmellows in his hot chocolate)and peppermint patties awaiting him.
