Hey everyone, just wanted to post a quick update.

As some of you may have heard, there was a large snowstorm on the east coast. The snow we got here (about 3 inches) completely shut down everything. People in the south can't handle snow.

I will not be able to get any packages out this weekend because USPS is not delivering mail which means that I can't have packages picked up and all of the roads between my house and the post office are covered in ice, so I would prefer not to drive there to ship.

I expect the roads to clear up by early next week, so shipping will resume then. I hope everyone has a nice weekend .

I can't believe 3 inches shuts everything down. I have a friend who moved from Chicago to NC and she was baffled that her work was closed because of a few inches.

I can't help, but smile at reading that 3 inches did that, after North Indiana snow storms, 3 inches causing trouble seems hilarious in comparison, but well, again, we appreciate a lot billnye to keep us posted, now and then. Here in MX even a heavy rain can derail everything, LOL.

You should see how most Southern Californians react to getting an inch or two of rain! Most think its no different to dry road and end up in a guard rail because of a little puddle. I can't imagine what it would be like if we were to miraculously get snow one day. 

On the other had our courier system doesn't get derailed much by the rain, which is nice.

I still haven't shoveled and this was taken at 3p ish

Same deal here with the subway/trains. Every year it just falls apart when the snow hits, you'd think they'd figure it out after a few years :/

Deutsche Bahn aka German train company, each year when they first 2cm snow fall, they go full retard with 30-90 minute delays.

Good thing in Finland I've never had to wait for over 30 minutes delay with HSL (Helsinki Public Transport Administration) though Waiting an extra 5 minutes for a delayed train/bus in -25 C was bad enough for me :v

Hey,

Sorry I missed this pm. Yes I have you down! Unfortunately you're the second to last person for US shipping because you picked up an order at the end.

Hope you're surviving the storm!

Well played storm, well played.

My set was delayed a bit because of the storm, so unless yours hasn't been shipped out yet I assume yours should be on the move again too.

Thanks Bill for all your attention to detail and hard work. I imagine it must require lots of organization to be a GB leader.

Wait, can you put that stuff on your resume?

You certainly can. It just requires a bit of explanation outside of the Mech KB field.

I actually wrote one of my college application essay on running CMYW. I have found it somewhat complicated to explain how a group buy functions to people, but those who do understand seem to think it is pretty interesting.

Got my ESC keys and they look great!  I'm using the electric blue esc with Dolch and CMYW and it accents great!

Thanks. It's a F2 Blue.

If you get your Olivetti from Originative I hope you don't get warped spacebars like I did. I contacted them about it, and am waiting to see if they'll do anything about it.

So,  IRL how close are the blues?  Not sure of the color code of the blue,  are they the same? Are they the same as the alphas on the TA set?

[CommonCurt]

I think they are a exact match to the blue on Originative's Olivetti.
They look really good with TA also.
