Sorry to steal your thunder, Superbob! Big week at the Fortress of Solitude!
It’s here! It’s here! It’s really here! Due to long lead times and a lack of patience on our part, we had to order well in advance of the Holidays. But our Tread arrived this weekend. All was not smooth. We had a no call / no show on Thursday, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. The excuse we were given was scheduling. They didn’t have the proper crew due to the weight of the product and they were supposed to have three people. I called Peloton support, who got involved right away. Refunded part of the delivery fee and got it set for Saturday. So how many show up? Two people. I think the no show was just a screw up and they came up with an excuse.
The guys that did show up left a lingering scent of smoke in the basement that has since dissipated. Anyway, with the level of service and communication, the mental debate of whether or not to tip two delivery guys making well over $20 an hour (I’ve seen the companies hiring ads) was easily settled in my mind. Call me what you will. In the end it’s here and a very solid piece of equipment with an awesome slatted thick rubber running surface. Not a thin belt. Going to test it out today. I had a spin challenge I was working on so had to do that yesterday.
Unrelated. We added to the family! Got us a pandemic puppy! A little black Cavapoo with a white streak from her chin to her chest. Our current pup is seven. She’s going to take a little warming up. She loves other dogs outside, but this is her turf and she’s not so sure. Kids are having a ball with her. She’ll be about 12 lbs fully grown, so same as our current pup.
