Big Brown Truck

“The tracking no. gave me the info I posted above, that is it. Says nothing about an estimated delivery date, just what I have posted.

Did not pay for expedited delivery. Why would it be Costco's fault? It is a 42" TV that weighs about 80 pounds (I think). It may be because it is a large special item?”

“i was just saying it could be costco's fault if you paid for a specific delivery date and they didn't comunicate that correctly to ups...usually when you order something you have several different delivery options”

“I'm sure it will arrive safe and sound in perfect condition.”

“It better Sarge or else I am coming to your house”

“It's like the little engine that could.”

“I think Lumberzac called and had it shipped closer to him so he could lift it. UPS must have figured it out in time to get my TV back to me. Now I need to worry about Thrifty and or Meangreen picking it up when it arrives in Indy.”

“They changed the above slightly. From NY, my package traveled to Columbus OH, then it made it's way to Indy. Arrived there about an hour ago.

I sure hope it does not make its way to California next.”

“it's in NJ!!!!!

I love tracking items from UPS...it gives me goosebumps.

ok it may not be hiking gear, but it is a outdoors thingy


it is my Green House. I went to home depot today and bought all kinds of stuff. tables, seeds, dirt...etc...

I am so excited i have to pee :D~~


I heart men in brown shorts!”

“The little brown socks are the best part, imo....aside from what they bring. ;)”

“dang I would have thought a woman would have admired the tanned strong (hairy?) legs - just saying”

“LOL, sometimes in the summer you can't tell were the shorts end and the legs begin”

“never had trouble telling where my shorts left off and my legs strted. None of my shorts ever had thick hair growing out of them.”

“HOI, I live in Michigan. There are no tanned legs at this time of year. The UPS man did have shorts on yesterday but his little stick legs were bone white.”

“The big brown truck is coming to my house today, but no gear - I redeemed credit card points for a soft serve ice cream machine.

I almost got a tent, but I already have a dozen or so. :) Though I really do need a new car camping tent...really, I do.”

“I want a soft serve ice cream machine! How cool is that?!”

“this is it...

“now ya gotta get a hat and apron like this

”

“Time to make the donuts....

“that thing's cool as hell twiggy...it even has a sprinkle dispenser”

“I have a sprinkle dispenser too, built in...from birth.”

“it's even cooler cause it's free - I only had to spend eleventy million dollars to get it! :)”

“So, now you can be served ice cream at the Twigeater Museum of Tents.”

“that will never do rev...everyone knows that doughnuts have to be fried”

“thriftyhiker... we have an electric donut maker which we rarely use... but you put so much oil in them stinking cups you might as well be frying them.”

“and fried in lard...

ice cream with your lobster, in the tent of your choice in my backyard. :)”

“Hmmm ... if I leave now I could be there by dinner ...”

“LOL...

The big brown truck didn't bring it, but this thing is kinda cool:

Except when Hoppy the Easter Bunny bought it, it was $29.95...”

“Oh sure, but was the bunny boiled?

(Obviously I didn't leave, so don't hold dinner for me.)”

“boiled in oil!

that's okay, I won't be home until 7:30-8 tonight - dinner will be late!”

“That eyeball microscope is really cool!”

“it is...it's a little freaky though, LOL...

the most interesting thing we've looked at so far, is a tongue.”

“I'm sure some items that you bring home from the woods will be interesting too. Little insects and plants. Grab a clump of moss sometime and you're bound to see things you can't see with the naked eye.”

“Code Brown ??”

“sniff sniff...I missed him because I was not home. but he did come. it is like the easter bunny. he even brought it into the living room :)

who ever you were, I heart you!!”

“our ice cream maker came and the bowl is in the freezer...need to find another bowl though...”

“I'm looking forward to hearing how the ice cream comes out.”

“twigeater - Is that one of those "camping" ball ice-cream makers?

Our local outfitter has them. Seems out of place with everything else, especially for such a small store. Could be fun with kids though.

“>ack!<

nope not that...there's a link earlier in the thread.”

“I just got a visit from a man in brown socks!

Nothing exciting....24 Fushia bandanas for the Brownies.”

“What Mapes? No kayak?”

“haha nope but the season has just started :)”

“Brown has been to my porch.”

“was the bag burning?”

“Tracking site says "Stay home this morning and wait....." grrrrrrr..... I am expecting at least three packages and two are on the truck for delivery. I can't track the third cause I have no information on it.”

“Brown Santa has not visited me in a long time. :(”

“Kinda off subject, but this weekend's All Star Race is Dale Jarrett's last race. They are going to let him race the truck. If you haven't seen the commercials that means the "Big Brown Truck".”

“Brown Santa has not visited me in a long time. :(”

lilmountaingirl

exlax”

“Dale Jarrett is firing up that big brown truck right now!”

“Hmmm... Big Brown Truck is soupposed to stop at the house tomorrow and bring a back set for my dog. I got a real good SAC deal on it and the wife says she feels better when the dog is with me. Not that the oaf is any lassie.... but he would be a warm snugglebum on a cool night. Anywho... should be more fun tomorrow... I mean today....”
