Been having that feeling since I sent the payment lol. I check the tracking every couple hours just to see where it is ... Actually every 30 min.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Already planning on visiting an AD this weekend to shop for straps haha

Welcome. Nothing better than an AP opening ceremony on a Friday afternoon with an adult beverage. Enjoy

I have no idea why it isn't here yet! Ups shows last scan in Kentucky, but shows delivery by 1030am this morning. It's 1.5 hours late already... I called ups and they said the last known scan was Kentucky which I already know. The seller has been in contacts with ups and they are trying to get it on the next plane. Best case, I get it tomorrow, worst case, I have to wait till Monday. I hate UPS!

Ouch, hang in there. When my first AP arrived, FedEx was accidentally delivered to the wrong place!!!!!! You can imagine how pleasant the ensuing hour was, while I was frantically running around the neighborhood looking for the FedEx guy and calling headquarters and ripping them a new one. Ultimately, the FedEx guy retrieved it and got it to me...
