Yeah, I know. I'm waiting on a motor controller that may or may not be on one of those ships. Semi-conductor shortage, don'cha know?

A semiconductor company I do a lot of business with manufactures their chips in Arizona, then ships them to Thailand for packaging. When I order some, they come straight from Thailand via DHL, and surprisingly fast -- a couple of days usually -- and the shipping is cheap.
On the packing list, the guy in the shipping department has one of those protracted Siamese patronymics like Krarajooliyoon Paithojongbuathongojo Suwannogularat or some such.
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Well then, you're just the guy I need to see. The part is a drive motor controller, from a Ryobi garden tractor. It's supposedly a Homelite part #996508001. Yes, that is the superseded part number, you think I'm an idiot or something?
Just kidding. The gal I've been dealing with is in your neck of the woods. Ryobi Tools, One World Technologies, Gardner. I'm having quite the affair with the gal in your state. She's taken pretty good care of me short of a hand job.
