I got a pet portfolio and unfortunately no doggo here but my sister has a few so hopefully she can use the coupons!


Tie downs and heat shrink tubing


Magnetic parts holder, headlamp, and a bunch of random zip ties and a socket extension


Flashlight and magnetic grabber tool


And finally, making good use of the flat postage we have a part:

Thanks for the gifts keykey!! The zip ties are definitely staying in my room for a change.

Due to moving, I had my AISS package sent to my parents' house, where I am now visiting. I arrived to find an unexpected package from Amazon, could this be from the internet??



Too small to be broken car parts, so I wonder...



Holy crap! Is this what I think it is?



It is! I saw Nitrospazz get one of these (or something similar) in this thread, and I thought, "Crap, now I have to have one. Maybe when my finances recover from Christmas..." But here you are, Santa, you knew what I needed before I did. This will come in very handy when I start working on my project car again, since I'll be doing a lot of wiring harness stuff. My other scopes are older CRT models, so they aren't easily portable.

This owns and you own, mysterious unnamed Santa. I brought my soldering iron with me because I need to fix something else while I'm here, so I'll have a trip report for you in the next week!

After a long hiatus of doing production soldering work for years, I bought one of these to get my chops back. Its pretty neat especially given the price and the general simplicity. Note, the peak voltage range is 5V (50mVx100) so you'll need a special probe to do real voltages.


I got my stuff during the week, but have been busy blah blah sorry Adiabatic and iForge


Note!



Box #1
Canadian snacks? (no picture of box sorry)



Box #2



Heavy rear end stuff! (beer for scale)



Thanks a bunch ShrugsNotDrugs. My family stole all the snacks and marvelled at the concept of all-dressed chips. That piston has to be quite a few kilos, the wrist pin is almost the diameter of the beer bottle! I've put one of the Pete keys on every keychain to feel like a cool guy. The digital thermometer is perfect for the workbench, though I hope I don't measure to its 400C limits in the house. The Hot Wheels shall adorn my office, and I'm sure that Mechanix glove fits one of the babies around!

Smushed, but not too bad considering it came from the EXOTIC and FOREIGN islands!



This guy seems to understand my love malaise era cars, i'm already psyched.



He also knows that my regular money won't be any good where i'm going. Also, that picture seems perfectly innocent, but creeps me out a bit!





Slower! Smaller! MORE VACUUM LINES!



This is going all over my next couple meals. Assuming i don't eat it straight out the jars.



And rum! The stuff good enough to not sell in a plastic bottle either!


Thanks Santa!

Glad you like it! There is another package coming on the 27th (so alleges UPS), hopefully it doesn't arrive after you leave.

I saw NitroSpazzz' post and was very confused because he wasn't my Santee :v:

A PACKAGE ARRIVED! some time ago, now.


It contained a ton of loot!

A nifty gear reduction screwdriver attachment, for when you really absolutely must strip out a flat blade screw head (I know I'm going to find a use for this one day, at 2am, when I'm desperate and all else has failed)
Hotwheels trucks!
Two really cool touch sensitive USB lights. I used one of these yesterday while doing some wiring on the house!
Stickers!
A mug!
HOT SAUCE?!?!
Some padded nose clamps (which do a great job of holding stencils and patterns onto drywall and wood and stuff, BTW)
The world's tiniest magnetic parts tray!
Air, which I assume is from Montana
Microfiber cloths! I can stop scratching the hell out of my glasses on my shirt now
Candy. Sooooo much candy. The sour patch kids were a huge hit with my wife since they're one of the few vegetarian gummies on the market!

A ransom note?


These things are bright as gently caress. They are dimmable though. I'm impressed by how much they crammed into so little hardware.


It's like someone attached a miniature np231 to a screwdriver.


I bet this will go really well on omelettes...


I've been mugged.

Hey Toplitzin,

I'm glad you liked it and like I posted previously I completely forgot the letter. You will be happy to know I burnt the ever living hell out of my finger welding that up. Hopefully you figured out the trick to opening it (hint: the welds are purposely weaker on one side, a single cut should allow you to break one side open). Have a great new year!

Oh....okay......we looped santee/santas:





Half of the cheezies are already gone (I assume you will be sending more every 2 weeks, right?) and I'm afraid of the screech. As discussed in super secret AI cool guy places I think this is going to the cabin as hunting booze.

The moose antlers didn't make it in one piece, but they will be repaired and proudly displayed above the piston and oil pump. Tools are appreciated and in the box already. We'll see how wax en français does on a german car when it warms up.

There were only ever around a dozen jars made, though, the stuff is super rare!
