I got my shipping notice from Bobby at BrewHardware. I'm upgrading my kettle with a drain valve so I don't have to pour from it any more.
 
UPS - I see your simian package handlers and raise you!

Another STC-1000, 6-piece canning utensil set (for my Doomsday Prepping haha), and a 2L erlenmeyer for my yeast starter. Next brew will be my first attempt at a starter. Looking forward to it.
 
I got books!

Beyond the Pale (about the story behind Sierra Nevada)

American Craft Beer Cookbook

He Said Beer, She Said Wine (beer/wine food pairing book, co-written by Sam Caligione)
 
Those simian package handlers will eventually upgrade to simian package car drivers and make over $100k/yr.

I started driving right off the street...no loading for this guy. It is closer to $80-90k where I work. I suppose being a complete OT whore in some areas of the country will get you over $100k.
 
I got my two 6 gal bubblers from northern brewer from the BOGO deal . Then Saturday I got my oxygen injection system from Midwest . Still waiting for my 15 packets of 3 types of yeast and a 2 gal ferm bucket . You can never have enough fermenters !

Wow. Now I actually hate my ups guy. Before I just thought he was a dillhole. No reason to act like you hate your job driving. A truck for that kind of money.
 
Yeah UPS drivers make crazy money.

I've heard you have to perfect some ridiculous 90-point process to qualify.

Takes 3 years to get to that level. Just because you make a lot of money doesn't mean you love your job. I hate mine for many reasons but payday isn't one of them.

Most areas of the country you spend years (3 to 10) working inside at $8.50/hr part time to be considered for a driver job. Some get lucky, like I did and walked in off the street due to the ridiculous job market in ND.

The training and metrics that they measure your performance by is insane. If you can measure or record it, you can bet they are.
 
It was actually Monday but I did get my new Chugger Pump with the Center Inlet SS Head. Now just waiting for all the camlocks, valves and tubing to show up from bargainfittings.com!
 
My new iPhone, this trade

I don't expect him to love his job or even be nice. I know I'm at the end of the route and he's got some long days, but not glaring at me when I say 'hi' would be nice. Last driver was nice guy, big ol country boy who would carry around his little lap dog with him at the farmers market on Saturdays.

What a ******. There are a couple guys like that where I work.

They make the crappy job worse for the rest of us.
