9/25/14 TR - I got head

[toast21602]

What. A. Day.

 

Started out by waking up around 6:45. The skies were dark and it looked like rain. I figured 'what the hell, you only live once - YOLO I'm gonna rack it'. So, I got out of bed and continued with my plan.

 

Showered. Dressed. Out the door.

 

I got to work around 8:00 after stopping at Dunkin Donuts for coffee.

 

I check my emails, took a dump (JLaw +1, please) and made a phone call.

 

What I saw next came as a surprise....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got excited and a bit stiff for a second. Skis ordered on Monday with 10-15 day shipping we're going to be here TODAY. I didn't know how to respond to this so I went back and took a dump (JLaw I'm at 2 now)

 

I was so excited it was hard to focus at work. What bindings do I put on? Do I take old off bacon and on to these? Do I buy new? Do I put on the AT bindings? Should I buy more skis? Do I need to poop again?

 

The thoughts were endless.

 

 

Fast forward a few hours.

 

I get home.

 

I look around. There's no package on the front porch. None by the garage. Did they put it back on the deck? No. Is it by the basement door on the side? No.

 

Suddenly I feel like a deflated balloon. The hope I had for the 3-day delivery on the skis I expected to come in 15 went right out the window.

 

I didn't know what to do now. I was upset. I checked my phone to see the status and there it was. Just what I wanted to see - 'out for delivery'.

 

BOOM. On their way.... But when?

 

I went upstairs, got changed into my running gear, and laced up my shoes. Time to go for a run until it gets here. I usually get passed by the UPS guy on my way home as I'm coming up the hill to where I live. I figured if I cut the run short I could beat him home.

 

That's the plan of attack I was going to take. My endorphins told me to stay and wait in excitement but my body told me to go run.

 

I came down the stairs and looked out the window to see if the rain stopped.

 

 

It did. Time for a run.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But wait!

 

 

An early visit from the Gods!

 

I, the 'customer man', ran outside and met the guy.

 

 

He told me he was concerned that the ends of the package were folded up compared to the rest. I assured him it was okay because they were skis. I secretly cried thinking that there could be damage.

 

I brought the package inside and prepared to open up what I've been waiting for forever. Or just 3 days.

 

 

I got my pocket knife and sliced away the packaging. There they were. As beautiful as I imagined.

 

 

I checked them to make sure there were no cuts, scrapes, bumps, or bruises. Everything was okay.

 

Finally. I've never experienced anything like it before. It was surprisingly quick. And I have to say it is just like everybody talks about and then some. It is something I hope happens again in the future. A dream come true. A fantasy I've only dreamed of.

 

I got Head.

 

 

I've never owned head skis before, but I've spent time on them at demo days. I'm pretty pumped. Now I just wish ski season would come quickly!

 

 

And now I'm posting this from the bathroom (+3 for the day JLaw) after cuddling with my skis for a bit.

 

I can only hope that others from PASR have the same experience that I did...

Nice sticks.

 

I got my new ones for this season at the end of last season........for free.......because I drank two beers......they've got a sweet custom topsheet with......um beers on it.       I'm totally claiming here if you haven't noticed.

 

Sweet TR though man, seriously.  Love getting surprises from the UPS man.  Maybe I will hit you up for one of those blue 6 packs you were talking about somewhere on here.  Wouldn't mind getting up there and getting a few laps with some of you Blue PASR guys again.
