The decision to link the 910XT to GC (and only upload via Ant Agent) is frustrating. It also routinely lies about having found satellites and has my run starting across the street in someone else's house and takes over a quarter mile to get accurate (while telling me I'm running much faster or slower than I really am). My 500 will only calibrate my PT while the HR strap is connected (granted, I haven't tried that in almost a year). On and on... they have a big pile of issues. I wish there were another GOOD GPS watch.

the thing thats been pissing me off lately is its constantly dropping/reconnecting to my phone. when im using live track for the mrs i have to restart it if it doesnt reconnect in like 30 seconds, and thats one of the main reasons i got the thing.

I need to start looking into winter steam schedules around here. Would be nice to see some steam in the snow this year.

******' UPS.
My indoor hobby is model railroading. I have essentially a museum grade collection of period specific Boston & Albany brass locomotives.
I've been doing some horse trading so that I can swell the coffers for my yet to be built Ti Rosko...
UPS, LOST this, ONE of only TWENTY FIVE in the world:
Idiots.
I was suspicious the next day after shipping when the arrival/ departure scans for the first leg of shipment posted. the times were reversed.

UD, I had something similar happen to me last year. Eventually, about a week late, the package showed up, but UPS still had no record for delivering it. I wasn't terribly worried though, as it was a small dollar item.
Just let them know there's a problem with the delivery.

...one suspects "repurposed" rather than "lost". At one time when I lived in D.C. it was a site for US Postal Service auctions. It was amazing some of the stuff that showed up, which was mostly sold in canvas bin lots by bidding. I bought a pretty nice Yamaha classical guitar that way.....and an absolutely spectacular dulcimer. I think those auctions were the reason UPS became more popular as a way to mail packages.
UPS ought to change their process so that you don't have to plainly write the value of something on a shipping label. Speaking of acoustics, I've been debating selling my Taylor 814ce, it's a '96, I prefer a parlor sized guitar nowadays.

I never noticed the insured value on the label for UPS. Is that true? I know you don't have to have the shipping cost on the label. What about FEDEX?

I've had no good experiences with Boston. Unfortunately, the entire rest of my family orients towards Boston instead of NY, so I'm definitely the black sheep there.
(Pretty much all of CT orients to Boston or NY, culturally.)

Speaking of current wind conditions, here's a link to a new graphic to see current and predicted winds if interested. Kinda cool.
