johnnymnemonic Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Delivery estimate is 11/2. I'm going to see if I can get it Friday November 5 when I have a day off and I have some people around to help me get the thing uncrated. I will take lots of pictures and share here. If the crew I am hanging with is up for it, I can set up a google meet and let forum people join. Not to steal @tekobo's thunder. Your grill arrival was incredible, Tekobo. Anyway - I will advise next week when it's getting close. Edited October 25, 2021 by johnnymnemonic 6
Poochie Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) That's cool. The ship mine is on should reach California this Friday. I hope they let it dock before Chirstmas. Edited October 26, 2021 by Poochie 1 1

Poochie Posted October 26, 2021 Report Posted October 26, 2021 That would be classified as terrible for sure. 2
Poochie Posted October 26, 2021 Report Posted October 26, 2021 Thanks for backing me up, Tony. I wonder who the next joke will be about??
mguerra Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 I dismantled the crate and used the lumber to build fireworks mortar racks…

tony b Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Not nearly as bad as we teased Bosco about tracking his boat. I specially remember one pic of containers falling off the boat into the water - brutal!! 1
C6Bill Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Dennis is going to see that picture and design a boat shaped KK 🤣 1 1

johnnymnemonic Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Posted November 2, 2021 it's not just the ports. The ATL unloading terminal is overwhelmed as well. KK been sitting waiting for unload at terminal since friday. I pulled this status report this morning. It's still saying terminal arrival 11/1 and delivery date wednesday, but there's no way. Anyway I hope it can get here by Friday the 5th. If not, got to change some plans. Lord only knows when my original order would have gotten to me. Original order was a 32. I got a 42 in an earlier shipment that had been cancelled. At least this way I'll have it by Christmas. 2
Poochie Posted November 2, 2021 Report Posted November 2, 2021 Was it on the MSC Alina? If so, we're on the same ship. I got a 32" that someone decided not to get. Small world!
johnnymnemonic Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Posted November 3, 2021 @PoochieMine got off the ship over 3 weeks ago. I bet the 32 you have could be the one I originally ordered. Is it matte black pebble? If not, it's someone else's cancellation not mine. Anyway, my story is, I ended up getting a 42" in matte black pebble that someone decided not to get in the shipment ahead of mine, so Dennis was able to sell mine to someone else - maybe you! Anyway - you're on the boat I was originally supposed to be on. The stuff I posted above was from the ground freight people and the unloading terminal referenced is in Atlanta. It was stuck waiting to be unloaded from Friday until today - and I just got the call. My delivery date is tomorrow! I will be un-crating the serious bad boy on Friday! I will send many pics over the weekend and/or monday - I have friends coming over to celebrate over the weekend so I may not start posting until then. I was going to maybe have a google meet or something, but since the Braves won the world series, the city has canceled schools for the parade so I'm stuck with my children at home all day. I probably won't take the time to set all that up for the un-crating with them under-foot but I will take pictures. 5 1
Poochie Posted November 3, 2021 Report Posted November 3, 2021 Congratulations! I didn't get yours because mine is a cobalt blue pebble. Let those kids help you uncrate. They'll love hiding stuff from you. On another note, my ship is docked but I won't be getting mine until around Thanksgiving. But that works for me. Looking forward to seeing the un-crating photos!
tony b Posted November 3, 2021 Report Posted November 3, 2021 @johnnymnemonic - WOO, HOO!! Can't wait to see this thing uncrated!
Dono Posted November 4, 2021 Report Posted November 4, 2021 Congrats and enjoy the whole process @johnnymnemonic. Can’t wait to see pics!
