I'd like to say it was caused by my steel balls, but it's most likely my old fat ass...

Can't be coming from Amazon if you are confident of the exact date!

(So many times this year "we're sorry your item is running late")

I've had several such notices from Amazon, over the years, but I rank them as my preferred delivery service, followed by UPS, USPS, and lastly FedEx (I ran shipping receiving for several years before I retired, and had more problems with FedEx than anything else...same goes for home delivery, but they've gotten a bit better in recent years).

Maybe EODguy uses a "diplomatic pouch" for his shipping?

Diplo pouch... I wish, that pouch would be sloshing and smell like bacon!!

Eat lots of bacon while you are state side! Can't wait to see what's in the box! Maybe an Army camo cap?

Thanks EODguy! Goodies have been unpacked! You must have emptied out the duty free shop.
I'll have to use a translation app to determine what's in each package.

Super thanks for the fridge magnet and military coin! I'll add the coin to my collection. The military coin will go next to my Signal Command coins.

I'm back on the largest beach (Saudi) waiting for the tide to come in....

No worries and a big thank you for all the help and dealings.

I would like to point out that if anyone else is thinking of replacing just the seat bottoms, buy the whole damn seat instead!!! In what should have been a simple teardown and replacement I will say was straight forward but a real MF'r as everything fought to not come off the seat frame and then fought twice as hard to NOT clip down. That is why there are no pictures of that process. Helpful hint... wear Kevlar sleeves, gloves and chest protector (in case you're dumb like me and lay against the edge of the seat to hold things in place while stretching the other side on!)

Anyway, here are the seats installed....

I think they look great and in real life the color matches very closely.

Thanks again X5chemist!!

What are the seat color names between the two? The seller did have the backs too!

Glad you made it back! Army vs Navy game on Saturday! Go ARMY!
