I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates

Where are they now?

As a roller hockey veteran, I have to maintain my equipment.  In my last hockey game, I noticed towards the end of the contest that I was riding a little loose.  Afterwards, I inspected my wheels (which were fine) then noticed that the "trucks" which hold the wheels in place, were attempting to detach themselves from the rest of the boot.  I could see that disaster was immenant.

The next night I sat down in front of my e-mail machine and shopped for some replacement skates.  I found some 2005 Model Vector PF4 Roller Hockey Skates by CCM at epuck.com .  The big question is whether or not these new skates will be in my possession by the time the puck drops for our next game, scheduled for 7:30pm this Thursday night.  Thanks to our good friend, technology and his college drinking buddy, the Internet, we are able track my new purchase.  Following this link provided my UPS, we can all enjoy the excitement of following my UPS package across the southeast.  For some reason, although it started in Lafayette, Louisiana, the package has taken a western route through Houston, Texas.  Someone should really tell them to go the short way around the globe and head east.

It looks like I will get my skates today. Apparently some Gee-og-ruff-ee expert at UPS noticed that Texas is not on the way to North Carolina from Louisiana and began making a big U-turn....albeit around Louisville, Kentucky. Maybe my package is in on one of those new fangled AirBuses, which I imagine would be difficult to turn around.

They're here!

My skates were awaiting on my doorstep when I returned home from work. I'll have to do some major breaking in of those skates since they feel like bricks on my feet.
