Sometimes it takes extra measures to get them running again.

My uncle had his mounted on a a pole that swung from the road into the yard. He had a rope attached to it and he'd pull it around into the yard to check the mail before dinner and didn't swing it back out until morning.

It was kinda like this except the ground post was straight so he could swing it 360° and was just inside his fence.

Checkup went well, A1c was 6.3, cholesterol was 178. BP was higher than my normal though, which is a bit strange. Got a follow-up in 90 days...
My mailbox is on the opposite side of the hwy from my house.
That's the way the delivery route runs.
I tried for years, due to safety, to get them to let me have it on my side so I ,and my wife, don't have to cross the racetrack hwy.

That’s gotta be frustrating.
After getting my tractor and snowblower ready for the coming season I went out and found I had a flat. Small crack in the sidewall. Off to the tire shop for a tube. Was frustrated but kept telling myself better now than having to lie in the snow to change it.

A sweet elderly neighborhood man said he has to get his mail at the post office because the kids have destroyed his mailbox. I noticed on his street that his wasn't the only one whacked and the mailbox door hanging open for over a year now. What's the use of replacing them if they are continually destroyed?
Mine however, remains intact.

We had to get a PO Box for the same reason. New Mexico thing.
They Sheriffs dpt has caught several people out here. It happens in spurts. You'll be driving down the road and start seeing mail boxes open and at the end of the road there is a pile of mail tossed on the ground. We have also had a delivery woman that wasn't making her run, she's come out once or twice a week. She would toss all the mail in her trunk and go home. One of her co workers caught her.
Yep. I even use the post offices address for packages. I just put my box number under the street address.
We have a PO box because they do not have home delivery here.
Last home they didn't have home delivery. Some places would ship UPS no matter what and UPS would mail it so it always wound up being returned. We finally started giving them the street address but made them use the zip+4 for our PO Box and we got it delivered somewhere.
Tomorrow after we get guests fed, troubleshoot my summer lawn tractor which has been acting up and do end of season maint on push mower then get started on an equipment storage shed
Finish cutting up the lumber from the trees. Hickory is hard on the chain saw! Dropped two more smaller trees while I had the chain saw going. Used one trunk for another "fence". Had a few problems getting it up on blocks but I out stubborn it.
