    Yes, same here. I've had a couple USPS packages show up as "delivered" on a Sunday according to the tracking page, and then the actual package didn't show up until Tuesday.

    It always puzzles me why powder and primers are considered a hazmat shipment and ammo is not. This doesn't bother me, it just puzzles me.

    I picked up this cheap-o electric power washer today: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Greenworks-...her/1000604813

    My "original" portion of the house is Bedford stone, the rear addition is just siding. It worked quite well on both, taking off the algae/lichen growth and even took all the crud off the gutters. It's lightweight, quiet, has a long hose (giggity) and power line and has enough oomph to do what I need done. I'm happy with it at $119.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    I may have to break down and get one. I did algae duty by hand yesterday. Worked but...

    I have a Greenworks 80v Blower which I bought around X-mas. Love it. Use it daily.

    I bought one of these 2-cup rice cookers, which is sized pretty well for two of us.

    It stunk on the first use, as it burned something off, but now it's fine. It's easy AF to use.

    Amazon said it would take a month to get, but we got it in five days from Sur La Table.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Ammo is a hazmat though.

    Has to be marked, but doesn't get the extra charge.

    Primers and powder obviously do, it was $19 extra, on top of shipping, on my recent Powder Valley primer order.

    My wife has thrown out two perfectly good rice cookers because she says the only way to do it is in an Instapots. Takes twice as long so now I just cook rice in a 2 quart pan. She can't smoke fish either and she's Scandahovian. She has some other good attributes tho.

    Looks like a solid one for the price and looks like I could get a surface cleaner attachment for it. I’m going to have to do the same here soon. Getting ready to move back into our “main” homestead (long story) and have quite a few things a pressure washer would come in handy for (mainly cleaning three years of neglect off of everything brick and the little shed.

    Looking to turn as many gas powered implements into electric ones as possible going forward . . . getting a little tired of messing with small engine BS. Next on the replacement cycle is the string trimmer.

    Lowes Loves me, been building raised beds for a garden. Powder Valley loves me more, got some powder and match small pistol primers a few days back. Time to get the raised beds to working, and then I can do my thing. Happy Wife, and then I can do what I do.
