So I ordered a gopro, some accesories, a dry bag, and an amazon fire stick. They should be here either today or tomorrow. But you know what is the worst part?
I’ll be okay if they don’t come today. What I can’t handle is when they come but I’m not home and they decide to leave a little door hanger thing. I don’t think that will happen this time, but I’m sitting here at work and am getting anxiety because of it. /endrant

Totally unrelated, but does anyone here paddle board? I got the dry bag because I like using my kayak a lot but am thinking of branching out. I’ve convinced my parents to try to sell our canoe and possibly and old fiberglass kayak none of use or can fit into.

Did you get the one that was $100 off on some ebay store? That's when I decided to order one. Not sure if they still have them or not, but the deal was posted here or on Deadspin a few weeks back.

No I had racked up like $300 over the last year and a half or so (benefits of when you just don’t give a shit anymore and stop buying textbooks) in amazon gift cards so I got a hero3 for 200ish and then got the others and some books for my kindle.

I saw a bunch of gopros for $159 on clearance at target and put eight of them in my cart to sell on ebay. but the profits were too tight. it was the white 3 gopro.

yeah I knew I could find one for slightly cheaper elsewhere but I can’t use the giftcards there. I always find that places have awesome sales when I already have my sights on something else and can’t justify both

I used to do a lot of whitewater and surf kayaking, but had to give it up after multiple shoulder blowouts and a surgery. My mother-in-law has a paddle board that I use when we go up to their lake house (other first world problems). I really enjoy it. It’s a totally different workout: you’re using you legs and butt a lot more than you would kayaking, which is mainly back and arms and hips. I have not taken it out in the surf though.

Yeah everyone I know that does it loves it. Theres a fairly calm river down the street that I use the kayak in. Never done whitewater kayaking, but I love whitewater rafting.

Do you have the UPS app? You can pre-sign for delivery of packages so they will just leave them, or have them held at your nearest UPS warehouse or re-route them to a UPS Store so you can pick them up.

You can also pre-sign every package and let them know where to leave it.

You can pre-sign via the ‘my ups’ thing on the ups website too, and set preferences for all future packages... I used to get the sticker a lot before doing that.
