For those who have ordered a factory sale item from jpgroove and are in the US, what was your experience? How long did it take to ship? Thanks!

I had a pebble way, way back, then switched to other watches when they sold to Fitbit. I'm so over the complex watches and want my Pebble back, but the shipping lead times have me very nervous. I have been burned on tech pre-orders before.

One of the shipping trackers said it was something like a year between order and fulfillment. I'm thinking about doing a July shipment one (or two). Should I do an earlier release to help ensure I actually get one? Has the lead time gone down since the Kickstarter launch? Is it really a whole year to wait?

Or should I forget the new ones and track down an older model?

Thanks for an answers and/or/especially encouragement. :/

Not really sure what to title this, but I want to share an experience.

I haven't done a thing to my front yard since moving in. All my focus has been inside and the backyard. Up front it's all lawn and a builder special tree. I usually trim it myself, but several health issues meant no one in the house was physically able to this year and all the "maybe next weeks" in the world weren't seeing results.

I know it's not the best time of year to trim a tree (I know!), but it was looking very unruly and, from experience, a tree with a canopy which cannot breathe can and will come down during a storm. Hurricane season is coming up and after a lot of debate, I bit the bullet and had a professional come out.

I have never utilized a tree surgeon before. They did a phenomenal job. Pointed out things I hadn't considered and did it all in a fraction of the time it normally takes us. Even gave some free advice about root care and under story planting. Had a really good discussion about tree diseases and what to look out for down the line.

I won't be calling them for most jobs, but an annual trim (at an appropriate time of year), is absolutely going into the budget. It looks so good! I actually kind of -like- the tree now. ^_^
