Fedex Guy

[nashlaw]

I was coming home today and noticed the Fedex van backing out of my driveway. No surprise as I was expecting delivery of a stock I just bought from "el gordo2"(topshelf 'hider, by the way).

The van was backing out and saw I had stopped. He came on out and pulled up by my truck and asked, "Is that your house?" I thought he was going to tell me to mow my yard, but I said, "Yes," anyway.

"I don't mean to be personal and tell me if I am, but are you a reloader?"

"Yessir, I roll my own."

That started a 10 minute conversation in the middle of the road. He had retired from the federal school system(didn't know there was one) and was now a delivery man. He went on and said he loaded for .308, .243, 30-06, .45acp and .38spl- all the good stuff. After we chatted, he said he had to go and I said, "Guess what's in that package." He said he had no idea. "A McMillan stock."

"Boy, now I'm jealous."

Seemed like a straight up fellow.

Re: Fedex Guy

Federal school system might have meant DOD schools overseas? Just guessing.

Yes, make sure you have all delivery confirmed from now on

Re: Fedex Guy

My FEDEX guy is an also a shooter and every time he comes and brings me something it ends up in a long conversation about shooting and reloading. If you ever want to know what people get what in a neighborhood ask he FEDEX and UPS dudes? They have decent information.

Re: Fedex Guy

I make it a point to use a UPS Store for most everything that I do that can go there. No sense painting an arrow for the whole world. Besides, the UPS guy hates me for months after I restock certain items to par levels.

Re: Fedex Guy

I had ordered a CMP M1 Carbine. The Fed Ex "lady" handed me the box and says "you got a carbine" (it wasn't a question). I confirmed it should be and we had a conversation about this and that then she finely says, "I have deliveries to make, open it, lets see what kind of shape its in". So I did. Apparently her son was into CMP rifles.

Another incident. I was going to be gone, my neighbor (who spends most of his time at my house) was also out of the area. So wife desides to Sun Bathe, she didn't want tan lines if you know what I mean. (We live out in the country).

So if the Fed Ex guy hits the drive way, the can be at the back door before the wife. He left with a smile on his face and I ate cold sandwiches that night because I forgot to tell her I had an order coming.
