Hope you stocked up on mailboxes! :laugh:
I don't even want to even think about it. Replacing a mailbox in these frigid temps would be a nightmare, let alone dangerous with all the drunk skiers driving by. If the mailbox gets taken out I think I’ll just stand there and wait for the mailman to drive by. :)

Have you ever considered a post office box? Not as convenient but probably cheaper in the long run and you wouldn't have to worry about replacing it in the winter. :smile2:

We have talked about it. But the Post Office in my town is four miles and three towns away, as the crow flies. The town is shaped like a horseshoe. The hassle of having to deal with a post office box for only four winter months won’t fly with the wife. And since I’m the one that has to deal with the mailbox when it gets hit, and not her, it’s not a negotiable subject. :)

I suspected it was something like that. True, she might have a different opinion if she was the one having to replace the mailbox but we both know that will never happen. ;)
