    Doing yard week, ran into this little guy.

    And when I went to put him back, he webbed down to the ground from my hand!

    Oh yea, him and the pederseni have. The darlingis i got from damon are NUTS with the webbing. I was thinking i put them in too big of cups but they already made themselves burrows and webbed the whole cups. I noticed both my obts make tunnels around the outside walls and make piles of webs in the middle of the cups lol

    Thats no good. I think i packed them pretty well though so they should be ok. Lmk how you make out with them.

    Hey, i forgot to mention this but one of you guys will get a straw with an X on it. That T was missing a passenger side leg. I honestly packed them all up and put them in cups and forgot who ended up getting that guy. Damon, let your wife know in case she gets that one lol.

    I really wish they had better tracking.
    Only part I'm worried about is that its very hot here. But looks like they went Northwest. I would say USPS messes up on about 70% of my packages.

    I did get my business cards in today. :)

    I have a FedEx office place right down the street from the house.
    I signed up for an account online. I just have to print a label and drop it off.

    They mess up too but its nothing like USPS.
    USPS lost a package one time. I had to call them about 10 times and they never found it. They said they would call me, email me and they never did. Showed up at work on a Saturday. So I took it in to get my shipping cost back. They told me the sender would have to get it then send it to me. What a PITA!

    I wonder why they lost a billion dollars last year.

    We all need to move into a big compound and just trade T back and forth :p

    A few of these are going in my personal collection for sure.
