Thanks for the spicy gifts CovfefeCatCafe they will be enjoyed.

The chicken on the noodle package looks angry. Lunch tomorrow should be interesting.


Also Some lovely hand drawn artwork that is now on my fridge.

Interestingly enough C-GOON is actually a registered aircraft. It appears to be a neat looking tailless glider.

A BOX! FROM CALIFOURNIER!

cuttin a bitch

Stickers, all manner of 3d printed wickedness, beer cozy, the :black101:est wrench I've ever seen and a letter!

This thing is a serious hunk of iron. Hammer, prybar, spanner and if you run the screw all the way out and flip the jaw, it's a pipe wrench!

So skookum. Can't wait to put it to work.

A nifty 3d printed bearing prototype, with a herringbone internal gear. The rolling elements themselves are also printed.

A printed model of a Fairbanks-Morse hit-and-miss engine!

This thing seriously owns. There's a motor inside, but the note said the gears didn't quite turn out. I think I've got a pile of nylon gears somewhere in the R/C stuff I can adapt, but even as a stationary model it's fuckin' sweet.

And a Dickbutt!


Thanks cursedshitbox! You rock dude!

Santee, I owe you an apology. I'm just getting your things shipped out today because I got stuck out of the country later than I wanted to be. There's a couple of things headed your way from Amazon, and there'll also be a couple of other things I bought you in Finland.

Got a box from Austin today!

Jokes on you buddy, I love comic sans for its infuriating properties XD



Definitely stoked about the plate. I have a stack of them I mean to hang up in the shop someday when I remember to buy a box of tiny nails. I didn't have a Texas one yet. Even better that it was on the 88 Accord. I'll probably eat all of those pretzels today. I get the munchies right before I fall asleep every day and no idea why. I quit smoking years ago.



A ton of stickers. Not sure what I'll bomb, either the tailgate on the truck or my working on cars laptop.



This is probably my favorite of all the stuff. I actually don't have any 67-72 specific shirts and this ones even cooler since 67 and 68 are the best looking ones, though I may be biased.



I'm also a huge fan of stickers and these are some good ones. The Austin ones I'll keep in the stash. I wouldn't want to put them on anything temporary like a vehicle or laptop. I may have to start on the sides of my roll away or save them for a future lift. One of the Scirocco ones will go on it.



Some habanero hot sauce which I'll put on everything that isn't sweet and possibly some stuff that is. Choice Matchbox AMX and Tim keychain. I used to have the same one but from the Science Center near me but lost it long ago. They are sturdy, can go through the wash more than once and still work. I'll probably eat the Texas candy nuts at tomorrow night pre-sleep munchies time, haha.




Thanks STR! Everything is great and I especially love the plate, shirt and stickers. Maybe I'll finally remember to buy tiny nails next time I'm out, haha.

Did the flashlight make it? :ohdear:

Also, yay, glad the package made it so quick! It showed up a day earlier than it was supposed to.

edit: oh goddamnit, the flashlight is sitting on my desk. :doh: I'll send it out asap (it's a 400 lumen LED light of decent quality, and small); that and the skunk + VW stickers were the major parts of the gift. :sigh:

Those Mickeys stickers were just something I saw at Dollar Tree and figured I'd throw in. :v: Let me know how the hot sauce is; I haven't tried it, but it sounded pretty good. Wasn't sure if you drank or not, but that's my favorite regional beer if you do.

OH! Piece of candy!



Avalanche of candy! That is definitely the best packing material.



Even took the time to wrap things.



That's quite the haul! The print is super cool. I always love getting vinyl, and I know it's a 7" because of the rockin' tape measure that I've already turned into the perfect fridge magnet. The screwdriver and bottle opener have already found a home in my truck's toolbox, the stickers I'm not sure where to stick but I'll find a place.



And thank Christ for the triscuits! I'm gonna need some ~reduced fat~ fiber to offset all that packing material I'm about to shove into my face.

It's supposed to be the most spicy noodles in Korea (that are sold in Taiwan). Not sure how they compare to the Japanese brand with the Devilman chicken advert.

The wasabi peanuts and wasabi peas are fairly tame, but will still tickle your sinuses a little.

Yeah that pack of noodles despite not smelling all that spicy was probably the hottest thing I have every eaten.

But it sneaks up on you. Perhaps this is because I have a poor sense of smell but it just slowly built up over time until my lips were burning.

Unfortunately I have been growing a beard and had not recently trimmed my moustache so the flavour savour was in full effect.


Yeah so it seems that Korea has a very different scale when determining the hotness of something.

My coworkers really enjoyed the show in the lunch room. The fact that the flavour packet looks like you dumped a bag of oily blood into the noodles adds to the effect.

Where we're going, we won't need fries to see



A package from Canada arrived hurrah! - 3 days before Christmas so no need to apologise for tardiness :)



That's a huge haul which had boxes within boxes within boxes!

Contents:
Festive glow sticks
2 SECURT ties
Packing peanuts (all consumed)
2 clamps (allegedly not for nipples)
A badass little adjustable spanner (I had not heard of Hand Tool Rescue before but have opened the related video in another tab)
An old cigar box with a topical name
16 gig usb drive
Keyring
A magnet celebrating recent victories over your side
Various sweets (The coffee crisp was devoured immediately)
A long bag of Ketchup crisps
Idea Supply stuff to keep my head warm and aware of the date
A potential biohazard in rag form which "may or may not contain 14 inches body fluids"
A mysterious part from a 2007 Nissan Versa. I don't know what it is but I'd guess at some sort of temperature sensor?




What's the trick to unlocking the SECURT ties? My arm is attached to the radiator pretty well and the heating just clicked on....

Hooray! Glad it got there so soon! I'd actually checked the tracking a little earlier today and was bummed because the latest update was that the box was in Mississauga a few days ago with at least another month on the ETA.

Also, the ties don't unlock, they must be cut, I hope you've got a pair of bolt cutters or an angle grinder handy! :v:

E: I'll give you a hint on the mysterious part: It does not go under the hood.

A big, very awesome poster of racetracks from around the world, a Canadian Air Force decal, three cable clips, and two wrapped packages.

Two packs of hot chocolate, yay bacon, and Maple syrup. Unbroken, even.
Package #2:

King Dick!
Note:

Bajaha, thanks a ton man, the poster is awesome, the syrup will be consumed on waffles, not pancakes (come at me bro), and the hot chocolate will be consumed at the first snow here in the Cape. The wrench will be passed along dutifully next year.

Glad to hear you like it! The decal is actually for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey team, but they pretty much ripped off the RCAF logo so clooooose enough. There should have been 6 of the cable clips, but they were loosely packed so if it was inspected by customs I can see them having fallen out.

Always can use cable ties and the 10mm was insanely clutch since my monitor wall mount was super loose and all my tools are 2 hours away at my garage, and I just so happened to need a 10mm to fix it right at the moment I got the package.
I'll add the valve and camshaft to my shrine of other misc broken engine parts, and see if I can rig up the boost gauge to my garage fridge or something.

A package was retrieved from the post office in record time for this time of year! (Then I durdled for a day before writing this post...)

No pictures of the box/packaging as I opened it at work to make it easier to get home on the moto.


Roughly top to bottom:
A photo book with blurb on ~40 luxury cars.
Mini bottles of whisky (Glen fiddy and Balvenie).
A massive stack of coasters advertising Kavalan whisky.
A note explaining the contents with a bonus poem :D.
A movie/music combo about/of the eighties music scene in Manchester.
Season 4 of Black Adder.
A precision screwdriver set.
An 8mm ratcheting Wera spanner!

Thanks heaps Slothrop :D. In response to your note bicycle stuff is weird, most bolts are internal hex or torx and the stuff that isn't tends to be speciality tools. Tools are always useful though, the screwdrivers will fill out my indoors toolkit. The moto/car use plenty of 8mm driven bolts in stupidly narrow spaces so something with a fine ratchet and that fancy double engagement open end will definitely be useful. I definitely wouldn't want to return anything, I hear bunnings is a pretty dangerous place these days :v:. Also I think I broke the case that the screwdrivers came in by launching off speed humps on the way home, thankfully the booze survived... Your op shop haul is great as well. I've had a squiz through the book already and I'll be working through the movies over the break. I do like older UK comedies, I just haven't watched much Black Adder yet so it's about time I rectified that mistake.

Hope you enjoy Blackadder, the fourth series is my favorite. I think Rowan Atkinson is pretty AI too, IIRC he has a daily driven McLaren F1 with like 40k miles on it.

May you forever ride eternal, shiny and chrome!


The plush rotor (Dr. Felix Rotorstein) will be living in the RX-8 from now on.
The coasters have already been broken in.
Those stubby drivers will supplement the existing driver set nicely and should come in handy when I swap out the RX-8 head unit for the JDM minidisc player.
The security bit set is fantastic, I haven't even seen some of those ends before.
You can never have enough Gorilla tape, that will be living in the rotary support vehicles glove box.

I forgot some of the stuff I put in there, I just went into my shop and stuck anything that seemed cool into the box.

I'm really happy the shirt fit. I've been trying to find it a good home for like 4 years. I actually got it in a thrift shop in the Seattle area when I was out there so it has some serious miles on it by now.
