LOL! it must have gone by donkey,

It is 14 miles from springfield to kearny, and it
took 14 days to get there......

I know they are trying to save money , but.....

(Worth the wait tho, Herbrand made a nice well tempered hammer)

I've had more problems with the USPS in the last month or two than the last 6 years in particular parcel post.

I won't change a thing on it, it is just right. I will carry it in my tote bag that I use for little jobs here and there.
