I've recently retired from UPS. I started messing around with electronics about 3 years ago. I know more than some, but not as much as most. Thanks Bill for all your time and work.

Welcome @lon. Maybe we can help you, but in return can you find all our missing packages? 😀 

 

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

@zander Thanks for the welcome. Unfortunately all missing packages are attributed  Fedex, from what I've been told they have a special crews that show up in the middle of the night and, not necessarily take stuff, but move things around a bit.

@inst-tech Thanks for the welcome. Fun is always part of the plan. Safe, absolutely, because it is not just 110v.

@lon That rings true, I have had several packages moved in the last couple months. Some I found some are still 'in transit'.
