What came in your mail today?

Due today is the new under hood light for my girl's 2002 TB. The old one was causing an intermittent draw and has been unhooked for about a year before I recently remembered that I "was gonna" order her a new one. She is a forgiving person, thankfully. All 5'5" tall and 125 pounds of her.

With a nickname like "Hammer" you would think she wasn't. I mean it. She has a HAMMER name tag that she pins on when she helps me in the shop when I work on vehicles.

The "due today" turned in to "due the next day" which is "today" or will maybe turn in to "tomorrow" since my USPS "delivery warnings for today", do not show the tracking number.

But the ebay tracking does show that it is out for "delivery today". Is USPS wrong and ebay right or vice versa?

I am waiting for the mystery to be solved.

Since it shipped from Florida, I am thinking it is a "Florida Man" thing.

Last few years I've seen a lot of 'hand-offs' from one service to another before my shipments arrive. Most cases the delivery dates are accurate but more and more I anticipate errors in projected dates, I guess because the services don't always coordinate well with each other.

As much as I tried to avoid it, due to some Prime Days shopping for work, I fell into the rabbit hole at home, and scored some goodies.

For the EXT, got a Four Uncles pneumatic brake bleeder kit. This is a redesigned model, compared to many of the ones that got some bad reviews. Gone are the spring loaded trigger handle, replaced with a ball valve on the inlet. Comes with a master cylinder reservoir filler, a line to siphon the reservoir, a line for the brake caliper, extra caliper fittings, and a bag of random fittings and short tubes for using the device for other fluid extractions.

A couple reviews did complain about air leaks, so I took mine straight to the garage, and tested it with a gallon jug of water. At about 90 PSI, it drank that gallon pretty quickly. Should have timed it, but couldn't have taken more than 2 minutes. One complaint that still holds a little water (pun intended), is that the drain plug isn't on the edge of the container. Due to this, you can't completely drain the tank without removing all the screws and taking the lid off. It didn't leave much, so it may not be that bad.

Also got a small bluetooth speaker, mainly to use while working in the garage, so I don't have to worry about knocking out an ear bud and losing it under the truck or something. Initial test was good, don't need all the lights, I guess that would be good for an entertainment setting, but they can be turned off. The 2 passive radiators on the ends give surprisingly good bass for their size.

Not pictured, got a replacement cover for my pop up canopy. The one I have is still in decent condition overall, but the the down loops on the corners had all ripped off, and most of the elastic ties in the center sections had gotten pulled off. Other than that, the white fabric was just showing its age, and looking worn, so a navy blue one will take its place. :2thumbsup:
