Contents: 2 shirts, sized small and 2XL, some strange green adhesive, PPE box, marker box, defective poo poo box, and a hot wheels Corvette.

Sorry about re-using the box :( I had planned on using a new one; but the post office only had skinny ones that wouldn't hold everything. And on to the gifts! Sorry I haven't posted sooner, but with my new job (see this post), I literally have zero time to get online anymore.


First off, Thanks Sharky for sending awesome stuff! Here's a glimpse into the goodies:



This book is so cool! It shows mechanical diagrams of everything mechanical!



Some pretty sweet connectors that used to connect something pretty important I'm sure.



A pair of vice grips! I really needed these, so thanks!



What's in the bag?



How about a piston, conrod, wrist pin, camshaft, & valve!

I also got some pretty sweet stickers! Thanks again! It's awesome!

Those connectors are like, 50-100+ bucks apiece. If you got both sides, you need to find something badass to do with them.

I hope we haven't annoyed Sock to the point that he won't do it again by being a bunch of shitheels :(

There aren't both sides, unluckily. Back about 10 years ago, I bought an eBay auction for "Assorted 30# box of MilSpec connectors". No images, total crapshoot. I got a huge box filled with MilSpec cutoffs like those. I spent about a day trying to match them up, and no luck. I think there were some 4-8 pin Amphenol sets that matched, but those big ITT Canon connectors were all either only female, or only male sets. I can only wonder what piece of gear got scrapped to yield those.

The best part, the box was like $30, plus shipping, which wasn't much.

This was actually a shipping thing, as far as I know. I should have pressed your Santa harder for a resolution earlier, but the provided number says delivered. Willing Santas email me as I'm back into that other email account now.

Well, I was out of town for over a week during Christmas, so it could have been stolen off my porch if it was delivered during that time. If we've got successful shipping confirmations then it's not a goon failure.
