Oh tell me about it!

But how it usually goes with me is I call a parts house for an
important part. And being such a small item that you don't wish to pay
minimum shipping for you add some stuff you don't really need, but you
will soon, and therefore you make the shipping more justifiable.

Next day, you get your stuff, and everything is there except for the
part you were desperately needing. It's back ordered. Of course, the
sales geeks looking at the computer monitor never tell you that.


Life is so much simpler now that the only parts I order are Snake-Eye
golf balls from Golfsmith.

I just wish I didn't go through them so fast!
