Ha, fortunately, the City of Austin has a compost program so all of these leaves will be composted.  The bad thing about it is that this represents about half of the leaves I'll be dealing with this year.  There are still plenty of pecan trees with some or most of their leaves.

@Clint_D:

This is "Fall" in Texas.  I collected 32 bags of leaves and enjoyed balmy 80F weather while doing so.

Good to see all your old Iron Heart bags came in handy.

First package of the new year from the UK. Got hit with a €22 customs fee. Great stuff that Brexit.

Shit… You got it delivered at home?.. What was the value of the package?..

[Seul]

Shipment Cleared Customs
Your parcel was released by the customs agency.

Guess we'll see in a couple of hours… Will be contacting UPS if I have to pay extra...

I don't believe that this was a package from us, was it?  If not, I would appreciate you saying so.

We're working hard to try to ensure our EU customers don't see any changes in the way we ship to them, or incur extra fees on delivery, although we do expect there will be some "hiccups" along the way.

If the package was from us, please send me details, we need all the feedback we can get during these early days.  As you say, Brexit is a real bundle of fun

So yeah you should've specified this wasn't an IH package…

IHxUK sent my package yesterday afternoon. It arrived at 1.16PM here. No fees. Obviously no hassles. IH for the win.
Thanks, IHxUK!..

Same here! Delivered within 24 hours instead of the usual 48. Thank you IH, well done.

Horrible news. So sorry to hear this D.

My collegue, who just retired, was diagnosed with leukemia over a decade ago… She has to have her blood checked regularly, but so far it hasn't been a real issue yet...

So here's to hoping your mom has a "mild" case as well!.. And yeah: FUCK CANCER. Really sorry to hear, goosehd.

[goosehd]

Thanks Eli, Reuben!

Thank you all!! God bless…

I would be lying if I didn't say I was just a little upset, but you have to take life one day at a time.  The shitty part is that she is about 600 miles away and across a border that has been closed for almost a year.  It would be suicide for me to go right now as their Covid numbers are worse than ours.  With my wife and two kids, I have to keep thinking about the big picture as much as it sucks!!!

I miss the innocence of youth...
