Is there such a thing as a legal **** on the field

Happy Saturday. Weather lady said Sunday this morning, so I had to double check. A few days off and I can lose track. (I know, they are all saturdays to a bunch of yuins) I was supposed to be at my daughters place last night. She is in Northern New Jersey. Haven't heard from her yet today, but was forcast for 5-8 in of snow. Between that, a head cold and leg cramp the night before - I took a raincheck. Will try again for next Fri-Sat.

I went out earlier and put down a bunch of salt/ice melt on our skating rink driveway, hoping that would help break-up some of the ice.

Same. We had sleet and freezing rain for several hours last night. Right at freezing now. Might get to 33 then drop again. Roads are moving good after lots of scraping and salting. I'll check the driveway soon to see if anything scrapes off. Hopefully it just melts and runs away so not much to re-freeze. Either way, I don't have plan to go anywhere till work Monday afternoon..

Was that the Pigeon drop?

Got all cocky when I got the new pins soldered-in:

But now I have to tear apart, clean, and re-lube the trunion assembly as it’s not grabbing records at the end of their play (operating too slowly).

Good thing I don’t have any plans for today!

I wouldn’t wish our local Post Office branch on my worst enemy! Between mail that gets lost, the mail that gets mis-delivered, and the little “postage due” games that they play like the one below (not our first rodeo with them), I’m actually looking forward to the day that our local branch closes-up.

I’ll get over there….sometime soon….to pick-up my calendar.

Found this.
Qualifying for Special Rates

• Bound Printed Matter (BPM): Calendars can be mailed at BPM rates if at least 50% or more of the pages contain substantial text, pictures, or other editorial matter. Calendars that are mostly blank space for notes are generally not eligible for this rate.
• Media Mail: Calendars typically do not qualify for Media Mail unless they are part of a book or educational reference material that meets specific criteria. Media Mail is primarily for items like books (at least 8 pages), manuscripts, sound recordings, and educational charts.

Standard Mailing Options
If a calendar does not meet the requirements for BPM or Media Mail, you will use standard shipping methods:

• First-Class Mail: A good option for individual, lightweight calendars (under 13 oz) that can be mailed in a standard envelope or flat mailer.
• USPS Ground Advantage: This is often the most cost-effective option for packages or heavier calendars that do not qualify for special rates.
• Priority Mail: Used when faster delivery (1-3 business days) is needed, and you may use the various flat-rate packaging options available.

How to Determine Your Rate

1. Evaluate Content: Determine if 50% or more of the calendar's pages are filled with printed material (pictures/text) rather than blank note space.
2. Weigh the Item: Rates are heavily dependent on the weight and destination.
3. Use the Official Calculator: For precise pricing based on your specific calendar's weight, size, and destination, use the USPS Retail Postage Price Calculator.
