One box was bigger but cost less to send - Tom Ray's Day 200508



Support the show! Check out my eBay store - https://ebay.to/2vMYStC

As I make my morning coffee I just think out loud about how I could build my art podcast and webcomic subscribers. 

Then I send more retro items from my eBay store to supporters of the show. While packing items I have to cobble together a box for a large Battleship board game from the '60s. But when I weigh it I find that the price is very different. 

Also, I share a little thing I learned from an old Time magazine from the 1970s about the shipping labels I buy from Pirateship.com

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
