@SKT time to switch to a dark roast coffee.

Wondering if anyone was having long delivery times from UPS? Several packages incoming including one from IHUK which is usually 2-3 days here to Ohio. Once my IHUK package(express) was en route(moving) I got a delivery date of Tuesday next week, began moving this past Wednesday. Same for a package coming(and going for a trade) from the West/central USA 8 business days... Usually 3-4. A few weeks ago my IH hoodie had 3 "mechanical failures" in the different places. Seems odd!

The darker the roast, the less caffeine, assuming the same varietal and processing.

I guess beyond the flavor that’s why I love those floral, fruity, acidic, and sweet light roasts. I need my gogo juice!

@mclaincausey You are 100% right,the misconception comes from people thinking that they get wired from drinking dark roast/espresso,but it’s from the combination of alcohol and caffeine you may have ingested during the night. If you had a couple of drinks at dinner had dessert,a shot of sambuca and an espresso you might find your heart racing later on in the evening or experiencing what they were calling in the 80s,the Yuppie heart attack.

@mclaincausey haha. I had a feeling someone was going to fact check that comment. For humor purposes “dark roast” sounded funnier. Though I’m not sure how humorous the comment was at its core haha

I don’t think any amount of caffeine was going to help me today. Back to square one…damn you wordle

Recently bought my 3rd belt from Bullhide Belts. The previous 2 are stamped 40 and fit perfectly. Upon trying the new belt,also stamped 40, I was on the last hole. Thinking that’s odd,I measured it against the other 2 belts and it’s 2 inches longer. I reach out to the company they have me remeasure the belts. The older belts are about 38 inches and the new one is in fact 40 inches. I send them a picture of all 3 belts side by side to show the discrepancy in lengths. To which they replied…Those are older belts and we’ve since changed the way that we measure. Use the enclosed form and exchange it for a 38. Thought it would’ve been nice if they offered to cover the return shipping. I paid shipping to get it.

@Jett129 that’s super annoying. Why would they change a measurement system like that? Seems like a sure fire way to screw people up…

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle They said it was because other belt companies were doing it that way.

@Jett129 is the buckle removable? Like could you just cut it?

[mclaincausey]

Yeah it’s not too hard to cut from the buckle end if they are using something like Chicago screws to allot buckle removal and replacement.

[Jett129]

@Matt It is/was,but it’s screwed into the leather,and no way am I savvy enough to do that. I sent it back this morning.

[Matt]

Better safe than sorry.

[Jett129]

For what it’s worth they sent me a pretty nice apologetic email this morning,and I really like the belt. They do tell you how to measure in order to figure out your proper belt size. It never occurred to me that it could’ve changed from the previous two times.
