Sorry for not posting photos yet - I'm going out of town in the AM and won't be back until next week. My Santa did reach out to me and let me know everything was sent (just right up at the deadline), and stuff has started trickling in.

Seat Safety Switch posted:According to USPS my Santee has told them to hold the package. So there's a package being held for you. Received! Read your postal woes. It arrived yesterday after the hold.  I was impressed by the letter before I even began unboxing. My wife was laughing at the shop towels.   Thumb for that Craigslist feel! I haven't gotten to the first two and the Coffee Crisp was gone in a flash. Delicious!  The name on the packaging reflects my checkbook regarding my 260z project.  Perhaps before I'm 50 I'll get to it. I pulled out this thing without reading about it and thought this thing must be a blow through.  Interesting piece. My wife laughed her rear end off at the throwaway part in the letter. This will haunt my work desk and curse my enemies for years to come.  Thank you for "returning" it to me. Nothing is feared more than a fleet of these flanked by the Royal Canadian Mounted Yaksmen.  Glitter loving everywhere... the gift that keeps on giving. Parcel #2 - ?????? <sir not appearing in this part of this post at this time> Will take your advice and give it to my daughter to see what she can do with it. When she gets stuck I show her how to backtrack and fix forward.  Pretty bitching AISS 2018 - Thank you Seat Safety Switch!

I am glad it actually arrived! Slung did a great job on that accordion dude and finding the zamboni ornament. The second gift is... somewhere in China, maybe. Tracking hasn't updated in a dog's age, so it's most likely knife-fighting some other packages in an underground boxing ring.

Assorted patches to throw on the moto gear A very needed license plate frame for driving in the state of California And best yet, some awesome "Angry Lady" hot sauces to slather on foods  You rock, Mr.Wiggles! Btw, if you're ever back in your hometown drop a message and let's grab a beer or three

I think post may have gone through it then because that's not how it arrived. Shop towels were completely separate and just wadded in a corner. Also my Santee hasn't posted yet (that I can see) and one of their gifts is trash for sure by now. extreme_accordion fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Dec 28, 2018 |

Sorry for being a bit of an absentee landlord this year, life got busy quick. If anyone has not received a gift AND has not received an email from me about it, please send me an email to notify me and I will get it sorted out for you.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, a package arrived!  The crème de la crème of screwdrivers, a set of Wera Kraftform with the laser engraved tips. These are game changing from what I hear and I can't wait to use them (Likely going to get an earful as I start taking various bits and things apart around the house  ) Santa, you are amazing! I've been informed there's another personalized package coming my way, you have gone above and beyond! But as of now my Santa is a mystery (although I have a good guess).

A suspicious package arrived the other day... let's see what's inside. An hilarious card!  And stickers!  And a ton of individually wrapped presents!  All spread out over my carpet (that I really need to vacuum...):  Not entirely sure what all the "random and maybe useful things" are yet. There's a battery terminal, a grease gun hose, some relays, an impact socket, and Subaru exhaust manifold studs--those'll be useful this summer when I'm working on my Baja; not sure what the denso stuff is nor what the audio? thingy is in with the distributor cap uh... cap? but I bet I'll find a use for them eventually. I know these are the nicest pliers I've ever owned and the screwdriver is hilariously long. I'm gonna hang the bowtie, impala, and calendar in my workshop. And the RX-7 has joined its friends on the hotwheels shelf. Thanks so much! Edit: Colostomy Bag posted:That calendar is cool as gently caress. Hell yeah it is. It's got some rad photos in there.

Hadn't made it to the post office in awhile since I've been sick. Holy poo poo, they actually used a locker.  Babby's first... bank robbery + fire rear end kit!  Oh I see what you did here. Cock sauce.  (this stuff is seriously good though, and I ran out recently.. you saved me a trip to H-Mart!) GIMME ALL DA MONEY OR I'LL THROW COCK SAUCE IN YER FACE Seriously though, I've been putting off getting gloves forever, and these fit/feel great - should be handy for (a) wrenching and (b) grabbing the steering wheel in my black on black with a Thanks Safety Dance! I can definitely put all of this to good use. edited to add: half of this stuff arrived right at Christmas, but Safety Dance sent me a PM (a) revealing himself and (b) letting me know there was more coming, just delayed because he'd been out of the country. I held off on posting pics until everything showed up. The rest has been sitting at the PO for a week according to tracking, I've just been too sick to get over there (that, and my informed delivery emails for my PO box stopped for some reason  ).

It definitely feels like it's very well made. I have a feeling I'm gonna use it on a daily basis in the summer, though more as a sweatband (one of many uses shown on the packaging). The Ion doesn't have great AC to begin with... and when you combine black body + black interior and delivery use, it's pretty miserable unless you're at highway speeds for extended periods (system holds a total of 16 oz of R-134a, with a fairly large condenser, which means the evaporator is probably tiny... so that shouldn't be a huge surprise). I sweat like a pig when it's hot, so it'll be very welcome relief vs wearing a hat.

Bajaha posted:Oh boy oh boy oh boy, a package arrived! Second Package has arrived! I repeat, Second Package has arrived! OH MY IT'S  iForge you really knocked it out of the park with this. Like HOLY poo poo THIS IS AWESOME. First the package has to get through the customs inspection  A heartfelt note was included. Not sure why USPS failed, would the shutdown maybe be an influence? In any case FedEx got it here in one piece... barely.  Oh man, this has everything! Bits and bobs, A loving MASERATI BI-TURBO valve cover, awesome wrenches, STICKERS, and premium pornography. The bottle opener will be used shortly to crack open a cold brew to start off the weekend and the rags will be very useful for garage adventures. The brass pipe bit, it really reminds me of some of the refrigeration expansion valves I deal with but obviously missing the valve mechanism, what is that? Am I close? I believe the pipe cleaner can double as a battery terminal cleaner as well,    The valve cover got a quick clean to help the lettering pop out and I think I found a great place to display it  I can't say it enough, iForge thank you! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Oh, you thought I forgot...Well I couldn't resist.

Bajaha posted:Second Package has arrived! I repeat, Second Package has arrived! It actually took 3 tries to ship that package, I am so sorry it took so long. The first was a failure by USPS, the second time it sat at a 3rd party shipping company slated for fedex shipping until they called me a week later to tell me they couldn't ship it Fedex for an unknown reason but could do it DHL for double the cost, so I took it to Fedex directly and finally got it to you. I will skip the middlemen from now on and go to fedex directly next year for international shipping. The brass piece is a strainer for hydronic systems but I use them for oil more than anything, the sockets on it will take a standard 1/2" copper pipe. The pipe cleaner is a regular battery post/clamp cleaner. I do not know what Fedex did, but that is not the box that I shipped the items in, though nothing is missing. I am glad it all came to you intact, though inexcusably late. Merry Christmas! iForge fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jan 12, 2019 |

Seat Safety Switch: Part 2 finally arrived this past week! I can't find the photo on my phone because I lose at internets today. Super cool mini synth / noise maker thing that my wife says I'll have to weld together with my little welder. I bought my Hakko soldering iron so long ago - its still in the box. It FINALLY will see some action. Thanks again and on to the new year! Thanks iForge! Put me down for AI:SS 2019.

It would probably be a good father-daughter project as well. For everyone else, it is one of these things: https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/products/buy.php?productId=synth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X522JXRuRgM The guy who built it ran out just after I made my order so it was delayed like... three weeks, then it had to get slow-boated from China despite the supplier's statement that it would get there by Christmas.

I.... still haven't sent the forgotten part of shy boy from chess club's gift.  I spaced out when I packed his stuff up, and forgot to send the flashlight that was on the list. I'm very tempted to just have Amazon send another one; they're pretty affordable for 400 lumen flashlights (Anker, even - and a 2 pack is 1 cent more than a single!). In fact, gently caress it, fake edit, I'll do that when I get paid on Thursday. I've been carrying around the one I was gonna ship him, and damnit, it's a lot more useful than the 2D 400 lumen flashlight I normally use for work! I was gonna try and send another license plate with it (since I have an early 90s, a mid 00s, and a modern plate sitting here, all TX), but he got the rarest modern plate as it is (issued less than 2 years in the mid 90s; it was on my second 1988 Accord when I bought it). Still can't believe I left it sitting on my desk. It was listed on the packing list. I didn't even realize it didn't make it until he posted unboxing photos and I didn't see it.... that's when I spotted the drat thing sitting next to my keyboard.
