Merry Xmas to me...incoming! I think

I think...was supposed to be here yesterday but UPS showed the following message since Wednesday night:

"Due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city" ...without any updates for a long time :

But now it's suddenly "out for delivery!"

Not what most would consider a major acquisition, but one I've been on the hunt some time for the right one and price.

Hint: Good timing for Xmas as the colors are Santa-like.

Well, it's good to hear that the pipeline is moving again.

A BBR perhaps?

Regardless, congrats are in order whatever it is.

Now that it's out for delivery, UPS has a new tracker I hadn't seen yet to follow the package while on the truck...hasn't moved recently, but at least it may give me an idea when it's close:

Thanks all! Unfortunately that UPS icon hasn't moved yet, so just hoping it's not reliable and it'll be here any minute

I'm in the same boat priority overnight delivery by 12pm and still nothing. Called FedEx and was told the plane was delayed and the deliveries were 4 hours behind! They couldn't give me a estimated new delivery time so here I wait all day driving me nuts!!

Definitely feel your pain! Amazing how sensitive my ears are now to the sound of a vehicle on my street...just heard another bigger truck and turns out my neighbor is getting a shed...no UPS!

Finally!

Saw the UPS guy stopping all over my neighborhood, and finally came back to my house.

And...here it is!

Exp II polar. Had one years ago and have been itching to have another back in the collection. Came head only, but have an old 93150 bracelet laying around so easy fix there until I decide if I want to order a new bracelet.

"Santa colors" I referred to before: white, black and red

Obligatory wrist shot:
