Art & Inspiration TRJ 83 arrived today

As I said earlier, the comment suggested that the postal worker took something that was not his and was emphasized with an emoji, I didn’t see any joke there. I enjoy a good joke too but I still feel the post was out of line.

 

Just saw this post and it made me laugh...just last night I was working on a buddies 68 vette and we used the mailer to cut a gasket for the fuel pump we replaced!!! A little smear of permatex and we were good to go.
Glad to learn I am not the only one that does this kind of thing.

Damn, I just heard there's no more lame humor allowed on the HAMB?!?!

 

Sorry Muttley, that last comment will have to be deleted, per the new rules.

 

Oh yeah, Sgt. Hulka the big toe. Snowman

 

Finally snuck out of the house and found one copy at Save on.

 

So, I received #83 today. Except.... I wasn’t supposed to receive #83. I had bought a gift subscription for my dad a couple weeks back, as his birthday is at the end of this month. I was really confused when my wife handed me the envelope and my initial thought was that I had botched the order form, but a double check of my invoice email confirmed that the recipient was supposed to be my dad. Correct name, correct address, correct “Happy Birthday” message. Stranger still, mine came in the white mailer, not the brown, and the zip strip had been opened after sealing shut and the flap had been resealed with packaging tape. So, I’m not sure where things went off the logistical rails on this one, but I’ve left a voicemail and am waiting to hear back. Hopefully my issue is just a fluke and doesn’t affect all recent gift subs.

 

Excuse me, seebeemc, but our local hero, Dirt Cheap Jack, had more like 26 pages in TRJ 83... keep on reading until you get to the article on Dirt Cheap dropping axles!

Dirt Cheap even got another well known local rodder, Sonny Weil (known for some time now as "Shadow"--- it seems someone noticed some time back that Sonny was always there... hence "the Shadow!") mentioned in the article.
Of course, the mention was coupled to a picture of some of Dirt Cheap's work on a car he recently sold to Shadow!

The car is at Shadow's now and he's continuing the build of a very well thought out car that Jack was building.

It was great to meet you, seebeemc, at Jack's meet and eat not so long ago... sure wish we could have another day like that right about now!! Plenty of neat cars, neat guys, neat gals, and neat food; including a birthday cake for Dirt Cheap! I think he had just turned 18... in his mind!

Stay safe... and keep workin'!

Mine arrived this afternoon, Wed. 4/22/20 in a plane brown envelope with just a stamp and address sticker. The envelope was ripped wide open at the top which is strange and there was a poster inside like I have usually received at Christmas in the past. All was well inside with the mag. wrapped in the usual unopened cellophane . These times are getting stranger and stranger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Larry,U lucky
still waiting here in Aussie

 

A friend pick one up for me last Thursday at Save on in Langley , B.C.

 

That's exactly what you were supposed to get, nothing strange there.

Still waiting in Northern Michigan 4/22

 

Anybody in Canada(Ontario, to be specific) get theirs? Not anxious, just want to ensure mine's not missing.

 

...just posted on the other Rodder's Journal thread,..got my SECOND ENVELOPE today,..NO magazine but did receive the poster in good shape.I've notified RJ's customer service again..at least the envelope is in better condition than the first..anybody else having these problems?....I've been a subscriber since day one.

 

Wow, the saga continues. Another missing magazine and a empty envelope delivered.

Of course it would be in poor taste or a lame attempt at humor to suggest that someone who doesn’t own the magazine might be reading it

When mine finally shows up in June or July, just maybe it will arrive intact

 

...I'm thinkin these brown envelopes are part to blame and maybe the postal service sorting machines don't handle them well....you can tell by the flap that this envelope wasn't sealed very well...
got my first envelope 4-20-20, notified RJ, got my 2nd envelope on 4-29-20,...so now maybe in another 9-10 days I mite finally get my issue....fingers crossed.

 

still waiting
was suppose to fly USA today for 6 weeks
but all is cancelled by Govt here due to C19

 

........That sucks, man. Sorry your trip is on hold.

 

I haven't received mine yet, maybe today

 

I haven't either... I just emailed them, knowing their overloaded but just wanted to make them aware....

 

Well, the 3rd time is the charm as they say, got my latest Rodder's Journal #83 today, they sent it in a Priority Postal mailing envelope, arrived in excellent condition this time.
...sent them an email to thank them and let em know I finally rec'd it.

 

well blow me down
my bookshop advised RJ 83 had arrived
Last RJ was 82 which I received 29/9/19
wonder when 84 will arrive
I was told our Mags went to Canada by dog sled
and then carrier pigeon to Aussie

Just heard on New Channel that we may not be able to fly to Bali
or USA for 2 years ."SH T"

 

I'm checking my mailbox every day for #84!!

 

I'd say humour and the various attempts at it probably make up 20% of the content on the HAMB. I think you may need some lightening holes... LOL (Oops!)

 

Posted in the other thread that mine arrived intact.
Things are definitely looking up

 

Got mine today. Was starting to worry about the mail system, but intact and good condition.
Thanks!

 

I think I'll start a thread saying I just got #84 and freak some guys out!
