Thank you very much! This was wonderful and I really appreciate it.

Glad it got there on time. The WD40 stick seems odd, but they come in super handy. I tried to edit the .stl file of the DeWalt brackets to add a bit of meatimp flare, but my Fusion360 game is super weak. :( I was hoping the brackets would work out for your storage / organization plans. The ceramic works well for bieks, too. And ammo cans are just freakin' handy. Enjoy!

Samefull double post. Yet, here we are.

A strange box appeared on the meatpimp porch... what could it be?




First look... I see candy and lumens. I like where this is headed.




Inside a flexible parts/bit holder was a box, inside the box:



Is that an E30 M3 Hot Wheels car? :stare: WITH actual shelf dust under the wing, showing that it is a well-loved treasure? :neckbeard:
And... parts... with a pcb... and a jeep body. I dunno, but I'll be looking into it!


Then big things slide out of the box:



Nice work light and a 10 way 10mm socket gangbang? Oh yeah.


What's this? This isn't junk, it's a Case rear light (or at least that's my guess. From the vampire taps on the back, it's seem some love over the years.



The whole haul:



Gonna try the die grinder as soon as I get back in the garage. It makes compression sounds when I spin the shaft, could it be a working classic tool?

Also lots of candy, with a good bit of sour stuff, just like me. Awwwwww....

Thank you, Mr. Spazzz, a beautiful bounty of treasures and candy. But no dicks... that I've found so far.

Yeah, it’s one of those very clever things that I never would have thought about. I’m definitely guilty of absurd overspray and then being annoyed at the stupid thing I literally just did.

I’m going to try using the brackets to mount the tools on the van walls so they’re definitely great. Even if they don’t have secret hidden dicks all over.

I need to wait a bit for the weather for the ceramic but yeah was thinking about that during new plastics day.

And I think the ammo can is going to become my apartment toolbox. Perfect size.

Just an excellent haul, thank you.

FAKE EDIT: I think I figured out how I hosed up my testing, the script uses the active spreadsheet and active sheet for its data, I was switched to the fake sheet for testing but I had clicked on a cell in the real sheet which made that one the live one.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I received a package Saturday and opened it Sunday, sorry this is late! My life is living chaos! Same goes for my Santee, but that was finally shipped today, you should have it this weekend.

A nice note from one of AI's finest former mods.





A new fidget spinner, the smallest hotwheel I've ever seen, and some very nice local cooking things, my fiancé really likes flavored olive oils, so she's excited about that, and I think I'll use the BBQ sauce on a huge batch of pulled pork for New Year's, plus wall candy for whenever I build a real garage.



And three great books! I already started reading Moonshot when I got a few minutes to myself this weekend.

Thanks IOwnCalculus! that's an awesome assortment!

Santa,

I'm about to head out of town for a few days (maybe a week?) for family Christmas stuff, so if your package is delivered within that window I won't be able to get to it right away. It should have a safe place to live in the mean time, and I'll get to it as soon as I'm back. So don't worry about it if tracking shows delivery without a corresponding post on my end, I'm not ignoring you on purpose or anything!

Don't feel bad, mine came a couple days ago, but two emergency car repairs (for others) and various holiday obligations came first.

A box!



A sign of things to come:





o god.

ZuZu on high alert:



What a haul!



Not sure what I'll do with that sprocket. I may mount it on the garage fridge, or wall, as to me, it's excellent industrial art.

The moto & other stickers will find their way all over the garage; some will become magnets.



Saving these for Christmas Day!



A beautiful and extremely witty holiday letter from Builds Character:



Impressive selection of Cadbury's most popular! My wife & I ate the Aero bar immediately. We are husbanding the rest (i.e. she hid them from me).

The fucks and confet-dicks have escaped containment and are spreading around the Crap manse...



Nifty bottle opener goes to the garage (beer) fridge

Santa came all over!



I wonder what I will find...



Dickbutts! The blue one looks like it had a rough time in transit, but I hear they make good test subjects for whatever strange and potentially dangerous adhesives that I might find at Harbor Freight.



Carnage! This looks like there's a good story behind it. Maybe the blue dickbutt was in a tragic biking accident.




ADD catnip! I had the folding block thing as a kid except wood and held together with stickers. I played with it until it literally fell apart and I intend to do the same to this one.



Tools for delicate work. I am not a delicate man, so hopefully these will assist me in that regard.



Tools for slightly less delicate work. I do enjoy prying things open, and my only plastic spudger is very small so these will be quite useful, I think. They also click together in an extremely satisfying way.



Tools for strategic application of brute force. Now we're talkin'! :getin:



I know! I'm sorry sensei! I'll do better next time! :negative:

A box showed up from an address I don't recognize, surely it's more junk parts that I've ordered for all the projects going on and forgotten about.

Inside, a letter.

Dear CSB,
Happy Holidays!

I hope you enjoy the Ai generated stickers as much as I enjoyed making them. I know they are a little weird but when I put the first prompt in and got gobbledegook out, I had such a chuckle. Nothing screams "2023" to me more than kinda amazing, kinda terrible AI art.

I guess the "Award for most reliable vehicle in Mad Max style" might end up on your Jeep at this stage, which seems like a commentary on your fleet :D

I hope you get a kick out of "my other car is a brick in the style of a 1980s Ford advertisement featuring a 1981 F250". I generated over a dozen of these and it was really hard whittling them down to the best ones.

This note should accompany some extra bonus ??? that my sister has lovingly picked and shipped. She's about 8000 miles closer to you, so I figured we'd save some carbon miles!

May 2024 bring you peace and prosperity and many more plates of gorbage.

Peace, slothrop.

A second letter with a little truck and enclosed is Enjoy the junk and the instructions of booking a dentist appointment in the new year. How'd you know and what junk is in this box?

The Haul

These are friggin awesome and will become a part of the art that is displayed in the shop. They're hilarious. The jeep one is spot on. need to get a specialty plate that's just "BRCK".
It took me a serious minute to figure out the triangle art, and even then, I may still miss it. the heart and triangle is definitely going on the pedal fleet.

The Junk

Markers for the shop which is awesome. I bonked out on a ride last friday when past me left no junkfood on board the bike for future me, if I were carrying all this junk would be lacin' wheels this holiday break.
Going on a road trip in a few days and these will come along to pad my boredom in the surprisingly consistent mopar product. These came just in time to help buy my dentist some fresh teak for their yacht. :D
The chocolate bar has impressive heft and uh none of it is safe.

Thank you much for everything, Slothrop!

It contained a truly decadent amount of Hi-Chew.



Also a Tamiya Fairlady Z. I need to figure out if this is the kind that needs paint and glue.



Also an itty bitty hot dog truck.



And a good amount of stickers and keychains.



Finally, a dick!



Thank you, KillHour! I'm going to put the stickers on my Alcan 5000 truck. My wife is a urologist; she's claimed the bottle opener for her office. The Hi-Chew is still strewn out over my bed. I think I might swim in it tonight.

I'm glad everything got there in one piece. I was kind of worried about the hotdog truck since I couldn't figure out a way to pack it that it wouldn't be at the edge of the box. It (and the keychains) came from this place, which has an absolutely mindblowing selection of every kind of model or miniature you can imagine. Deciding on something was... hard.

The stickers came from Harajuku and I couldn't stop myself from buying far too many of them.

It's kind of buried in there, but the Nintendo thing is a deck of cards. Fun fact - Nintendo started as a playing card company, and still makes them to this day.

No worries! And I have so much of that foam... I should have included more :v:

I think the Datsun one is probably more ironic, but the VTEC one is funnier.

I'm 99% sure the Fairlady kit is this one, so yes you'll need glue and paint and far more patience than I.
