:0 swissy pm'd me, telling me I had missed delivery!
aahhh, where do I start. Well as many of you have probably read, we have the up and coming "great CP Salmon Smoke Off" contest between Swissy and I. Well, being the great BOTL that Swissy is, he voluneers to send me a fresh fillet of the Sought after copper river salmon! Well, today being the expected delivery day, I'm of course excited. Where's the post man....where's the post man, as I pace around the house. Well, I decide to run next door for a minute to see my neighbors. Only gone a few minutes, still now post man. Well about an hour goes by and our regular post man comes by. But NO BOX! Where the hell is my BOX??? My wife goes out to the mail box and when she comes back, she hands me a notice that the express mail carrier had attempted delivery and that I could pick my box up on monday. MONDAY!!! No way, fresh fish can't sit that long. So now I'm pisssed. The guy snuck in below radar when I was at my neighbors house. So I start calling around, trying to figure out a way to track down the postal dude. The 1 800 number to us postal....no help. Try and call the local Post office...no dice. So I head out in my truck trying to track this dude down right. Well, I look up where the post office is and head in that direction down town. I'm sitting at a light and I see one of those little white sneaky trucks pass in front of me. The light turns and I haul ass, I'm going to get em!! :angry2: I finally catch up to him and follow him for a bit. Then I see another one pull in behind us. Woo Hoo...all roads lead to the promised land of the post office! So I follow this guy all the way to the post office. Against my better judgement, I follow him into the gated "restricted area"...either I get my fish, or go down trying. As he gets out of the truck, I run up to him with my little tan delivery attempt receipt and plead my case. He invites me inside to the distribution center, and we quickly track down my package. Ahh, the beauty of it. New Braunfels Smoked meats box. How appropriate. I sign for it, and I'm out the door. Happy once again.
So after all of that, I eagerly drive home, just anxious to open my box and check out the dead fish treats! I get home and carefully open the box. A nice big vacuum sealed package of bright red salmon! WOO HOO! daMn this is some nice looking fish. As I pull the fillet out of the box, I see another package hidden away in there. Now I'm just in awe, "you've got to be kidding me". Not only did swissy send me a beautiful salmon fillet, but he enclosed a package of some very choice sticks. A class move, beyond anything I ever expected.
The generousity of the members of this site is truly amazing. its just great how it travels from person to person!
Swissy, a huge thank you, and you can be damn sure you've got some bbq'd treats coming your way!
