Andrew Robinson: HI Mark, Im not really sure what my schedule is for Monday or Tuesday yet. I will let you know as soon as I know.
nobbynobby40: Please le me or Ernie know ASAP. Then we can get this business concluded. Many people have mentioned to me that I should get either the police or the IRS involved and I really do not want to go that far. Let's get this business sorted.
Andrew Robinson: If you give me his address I can mail the items to him. It will only cost 6 or 7 dollars to ship the package to him, and it would be easier than trying to schedule a time to meet him.
nobbynobby40: He lives not far from you, so it will be far easier just to meet him. It will also cost you absolutely nothing. Please just give him a call to arrange a meeting.
Andrew Robinson: My schedule is pretty crazy between now and Christmas. It would really be much easier for me to just drop the box off at the post office and have it sent to him. Makes it easier for both him and I.
nobbynobby40: surely it makes financial sense just to hand my stuff over in person?
nobbynobby40: you hve told me you're out of work. so what is the problem with meeting him?
nobbynobby40: it's only just down the road
Andrew Robinson: Like I said, my schedule is pretty busy the next couple weeks. Instead of having to try to arrange a time, especially when I dont know exactly when I will be free, it would be easier for me to mail the package
nobbynobby40: OK then, I'll have Ernie get the police, FBI and IRS involved then shall I?
nobbynobby40: I'm sure your parents will love that
Andrew Robinson: Why would you do that when I am trying to take care of this the easiest way? I suggested this Saturday, which would have been the best time for me, but he isnt available. When he is available Im not sure I am, so I am saying I will send it to him. That way he doesnt have to make a special trip, I dont have to make plans to meet him and then have something come up to where I cant. It is the simplest solution
Andrew Robinson: I will be able to mail it out Saturday, so he will have it either Monday or Tuesday, which is when he was free to meet me anyway, so it would be just as quick
nobbynobby40: No, the simplest solution is to meet Ernie on Monday or Tuesday at your convenience. Then it's done and dusted.
Andrew Robinson: If I mail it out Saturday, he will have it Monday, Tuesday at the latest, and can forward it on to you
nobbynobby40: what is your problem? why are you not prepared to meet him?
nobbynobby40: Fine, I'll ask him for his address and you can mail my stuff 100yards dowm the road.
nobbynobby40: I'm sick and tired of this
Andrew Robinson: I just prefer not to meet strangers for dealings like that. Also, if I mail it to him, then there is a paper trail on my end to prove the items were sent. I hadnt thought of it before, but was advised to do it that way.
nobbynobby40: Fine. I'll get Ernie's address and you can send it to him. If there is anything missing then i'll get the authorities involved and I'll be on the phone to your parents night and day.
Andrew Robinson: There wont be anything missing. Just to let you know, the light board that goes in the rangefinder will have a piece of paper between the contact and the batteries so they dont activate and drain down while in transit. You will need to remove the paper, and then put them in the rangefinder once you get them. The rangefinder lower half is magnetically attached, and pulls out of the upper half
nobbynobby40: so what are the 'extras' that you were going to include?
Andrew Robinson: I have a vaccuformed knees kit that I was planning to include, along with a decal or two, and maybe a few other things I run across that I think you might like
nobbynobby40: like what?
nobbynobby40: bear in mind that I am copying this conversation to use in any federal case
Andrew Robinson: I havent decided yet, I will have a look through my box of spare things and include anything you might get use out of
nobbynobby40: OK, I'll send Ernie's address when I have it
Andrew Robinson: Ok. The package will go out Saturday morning, and I will send you the tracking number
