I hate waiting
« on: January 01, 2014, 10:03:07 pm »
Put my order in for my EX on the 30th, I got a email saying ups has a label created, just waiting for them to pick it up and put on a truck. I am excited and waiting makes it worse knowing what I have coming to me. I want it to hurry but now its cold, have a big front moving into our state so guess will have to wait as I think I need more propane in my tank for heater in the garage before I can work. Still haven't convinced the wife to let me put the saw inside.

Thats one thing I don't have lol, since I know I am getting a good saw and was in middle of making something and have other stuff want to do and I can't. Plus scrolling helps me relax, as my nerves have been on edge, from previous happenings in my past being I suffer from depression and the anxiety that goes with it. I am sure it will be here before I know it, just hope somebody is here to sign for it, guess will take that day off work, he he he :)

Well, hopefully it will come soon!  Get everything ready for it and do some 'busy work' around the shop to get your mind off of it.  I am not good at waiting either, but I try to get refocused on something else and the time goes by faster.

I was ordering something from S. Africa (silk ribbon - long story!) and I placed the order Dec 26.  They are on break and won't be in the office until Jan 8 - another WEEK away!  Then it has to ship here to Canada. I am sure I won't see it until the end of January.  (SIGH!!) So I am going to try to forget it and do other things and I will be surprised when it shows up.

When it does finally get here, I am sure I will be THRILLED! :) 

You will have your saw Loooooonnnnngggg before that! ;)

Children, the wait is half the fun. Imagine the fun you are going to have with your new toys. Take it from an old pro. Have a great New Years. ;D

Yea I need to put my old saw back together what I can, get it removed from its stand and clean up the space, hoping my stand top is big enough for the ex if not well will be building a bigger top I guess. I need to clean up out there anyway but its been so cold, and I have to really push myself to get up to do something but hope that changes with this new saw since it will be a Cadillac compared to what I had. I can't imagine waiting a month for ribbon thats crazy.

Wait is not half the fun, its what takes the fun out of it, getting the box and opening, now thats the fun! I did buy a new gas grill yesterday to replace my old and used it last night its nice cooked good too, tying to take my mind other place till saw arrives but now tonight I sit here waiting, but am going through steve's patterns looking for stuff.

I want to make my boss something, he use to be a OTR driver, now owns a dump truck company that I work at, he has a Harley but thats copyrighted, loves his crown royal drink. I have time to keep busy looking stuff up, hopefully that will pass time, will find out tomorrow hopefully when they get it on truck when it will be here.

Well put the old saw back together and put it in the shed, cleaned up my stand, burned my scrap wood and swept up the floor of all the dust that was around, now to keep waiting till monday hope it comes quick.
