I'm a night person. I have always been. Now that I am retired I can indulge that quirk. I would be asleep right now but my dogs heard the mailman approach and barked a lot, then the mailman blew his horn to let me know he was here. He had my package from Thailand with the 2 6E5 tuning eye tubes. Saturday the carrier left a package stuffed into my mail box. He had squashed the corners so it would fit. It had 4 metal 6H6 tubes in it, but they were not damaged. Yesterday I left a note to my mail carrier about it. Turns out it was not my regular mailman but the weekend substitute who was the culprit. My regular mailman gave it to the local postmaster. LOL ! Now that things are peaceful again, after I finish my cup of coffee, I'm going back to bed.
