I exected to be fairly busy today, putting a transmission back together. I found a NOS part I needed on eBay. USPS TRacking said it would be here last Friday. I followed the tracking each day from Smiths Creek MI/Detroit MI/Columbus OH/Hyattsville MD/Buffalo NY. That was Thursday. Columbus is only maybe a 5 hour drive. Why it got mis-sent to Maryland is anybody's guess.
USPS Tracking said it would be arriving late, Saturday 17th. It didn't arrive. I hoped it would be here today, Monday 19th. It's not.
I have gears and shafts spread out on my workbench and my press is set up too press bearings on. Can't do anything else until the trans is sealed up. "Clean room" conditions. Open bearings, gears, shims, etc. Can't do any grinding, cutting, or milling on other projects until this one is finished. Won't take long. Everything has been measured three times and cleaned twice.
Three days wasted.
On the bright side, Seasons 5 and 6 of Bosch arrived some days ago. And the latest Longmire book arrived from Amazon. Pretty interesting; I read it over the weekend. Made me want to read more about the 'Battle of the Greasy Grass', so I ordered several other books that Craig Johnson recommended.
