God bless you! You still operate by the old standards.
May there be a special place for you in Mailman Heaven!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news...but what do you think the 1970 Post Office strike led to? The Post Office is not allowed to strike, federal law and all. But good ole UPS and Fedex can.
And your semi-driver doesn’t work for the post office. He works for a trucking company who is contracted to haul mail and he sure doesn’t care if or when the mail gets there.
How often would the weather be a problem in San Diego?
Get a digital scale; they're more accurate.
The problem in San Diego isn't weather. It is having somewhere to shoot. The indoor range solved that problem. A new indoor range finally open in Pocatello this year, but I've been stuck in San Diego since that occurred.
There are worse places to be stuck.
Accuracy and precision are two different issues. The digital scale gives the appearance of greater precision. Whether the value displayed is accurate is a function of calibration and design. Is it thermally stable? Is the reading linear over the range in use? Checking against standard calibration weights is a good idea.
I purchased one of the fancy RCBS Chargemaster packages with the digital scale linked to an electronically controlled powder dispenser. I haven't unpacked it from the box yet. I'm fairly confident that I will get convenient, consistent drops of powder. I just haven't had the opportunity to get to the range. As of right now, I have a couple rifles and one revolver that are still NIB after 18 months.
