Some Motronic guy sent me a box. I wonder if it's for AI:SS? I bet it is. Lets see. hmmm, yes, this is a box.  Oooo, an AI generated letter. Look at Mo bending rocks to his will:  I love plywood veneer!  Mmmmm, snacks  Now I am the owner of a Porsche (Part)!  As a Porsche owner, i think I'll probably need a drink sooner rather than later:  oooo, Mo even included a self portrait. Seems a little vain, but hey, worth it for the Wera!  A surprisingly 0 amount of dicks. Are you feeling ok? Overall, a fun AI:SS haul! Any year with Wera is a good year! Many thanks to Mo! Less thanks to UPS for spoiling who my Santa was via informed delivery!

Glad everything made it. The strut top bushing is for a porsche, but it's a uro part that was mis-shipped in place of an actual factory part. Nobody wanted it/wanted it to get shipped back so it's yours now. It was included as packing material to keep from crushing your phily snack goodness.

A box has been shuttled from the southwest to the south and back to the southwest! With a letter from a certain owner of calculus  The goods inside as described: * A License plate from the LS swapped C10 circa 2005 when Arizona still stamped them. * An engineering logbook and an Opel badge probably not from a GT but origin is unknown. * A book covering how my projects go rather than the project itself. * Olive oils of varying types from the local bougie-as-gently caress olive mill. * Another box full of dead Jeep TJ NP231 parts. * an absolute work of art via varying welding methods to celebrate the season Crack open the lid and inside is a very well packed box.  First up is a typical looking amazon box in how most amazon boxes look like after the shipper has thrown them from three quarters of a mile at my front door.  Inside is the afore mentioned Olive oils. These are awesome, right up my alley, and have immediately been placed on the oil rack for rapid consumption. I may bake a focaccia later just as an excuse for the dipping oil.  The next box is Genuine Oem Parts hot off the boat.  Inside is a Starfleet Engineering Notebook and a Opel badge. The engineering notebook is right at home in the doorcard of the truck for when it breaks itself I can noodle out solutions. The Opel badge is excellent shop art. I'll hang it somewhere in the hab for the time being.   Next up is some good evening reading. The Making of The Atomic Bomb. This was a fascinating era in theoretical and applied Physics. Can't wait.  A license plate to hang on the eventual shop wall from a LS Swapped C10 that owns. I'll fix this one somewhere in the camper for now too.  Broken TJ transfercase bits  Neat bearing   Genuine Jeep Parts  A dead oil pump   And the centerpiece. The Art.  This is hilarious and awesome. Its a touch too heavy to hang off of a luan wall but this is definitely going up in the shop. The Haul  Heckin awesome AISS for 2022. Thanks IOC!

Oh wow did I get an AI:SS haul in today. Local Oregoon foods including goon-harvested honey. Can't wait to break into this stuff, thank you! Also flashlights. The little Q6M looks great and the big one is like a big and better version of the ones I've been using for working on cars.  (one of the stickers found a home on the tractor) Thanks Santa! (I have been threatened with an additional box that has not shown up yet!) Edit:  Turns out both stickers needed to go on that tractor because this one makes a dad joke. (tractor has a "super b" sized frame and a cab - I have no idea why this warranted a back window sticker from Kubota, but here we are) Motronic fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 22, 2022 |

Oh man I'm forgetful as hell, the straps fit over a jersey pretty well at their largest setting, the pack would not fit over my roost guard, but that's probably fine since I never wear it except when I race, and all my racing buddies have moved away so I don't do that much anymore.

A package has appeared! It appears to have been sent by a "Bulk Vanderhuge" living in America's Hat. And then stomped on repeatedly by USPS' finest.  I am a simple man and this is exactly the kind of haul I was hoping for. Despite it being abused heavily in the solid week it took to make it from Chicago to AZ after it got there from Canada, the only casualty seems to have been one of the highly-illegal Kinder Surprises, and even then it just got a bit cracked. Kiddo still happily ate it.  Cocking and dancing?  Plus some excellent magnets that have already been put on display in the garage, hopefully to reduce the amount of Dumb that happens. Not just flush-cuts, but specifically for cutting zip ties. Hell yes. Thank you, Bulk Vanderhuge, I highly doubt these snacks will even survive from now until Christmas!

What a well-written, thoughtful letter. And yes, these are all new additions!  Some of them will last longer than others.  A lot longer.   The half life of some of this stuff is mere days.  While other parts of the package will dissolve into nothing within minutes.  Yeah, minutes might be a stretch.  Pretty sure it doesn’t count if I reflexively ate it while contemplating my haul.  How dare you?!. I would never need th… ok, actually this is great and super helpful, thank you!  All purpose hot drink container for when I start working on the van again now that it will be cold and miserable to do so.   Yes, I desperately needed this. It’s very clever. Squeezing pulls the cable which tightens the end and then the red pawl keeps it tight. The cable means it’s perfect for tight spaces - no worrying about how to fit the giant pliers in).  You thought I broke my last set of picks trying to pry something I should have these are… for locks you say?   Last but not least, it’s true. But I ain’t one of them.  Thank you very much! This was great.

One can never have enough 10mm and those swivels are amazing, I can already think of three separate uses for them on the RX-8 alone. The switch module is hilarious and now I have to decide whether it'll be used to control lights/underglow on the truck or the 8. So far no additional packages have arrived but Canada Post has issued official delivery delays, so no worries. It'll get here.

A parcel arrived a few days ago, but between christmas and spending most of my time racing around in ever decreasing circles on a John Deere with a hay mower, trying to get the grass cut before Australia's weather goes from mid 20's to Mid 40's overnight (thats celcius) so the grass actually dries into hay rather than cooks off and dies I havent had time to dig into it until now! First of all- A box!  This one looks well travelled? And a note!  Theres mentions of a rear engined porch. Upon closer inspection, it was located in the traditional location for rear engined porches- wrecked and upside down.  Small bit of recovery later...  Then came the haul of 3D printing goodies!    It appears some of the porch got onto the skull. I will have to set up a camera watching them and light off the welder and see if they do in fact glow! And then google how to use the claw properly! And a couple of new key chains!   The chicken wing is awesome. My mates son thought it was real and wanted to eat it. Thats definitely getting a tractor key on it! Postman Pats ultra polite brothers van!  I have no idea whether these have anything on them? I kinda want to KNOW if theres anything on them. I do not want to pay the asking price for a MD drive online to find out if theyre blank or not!!!!  Then we had some Mighty Melon Mods stinky thing  An assortment of stickers to go onto the wall in the shed, I think one or two slipped out of view there  Patches! The Canadian NP one is so cool and now i want Poutine.  And then the one that made one of my partners snort tea out of her nose laughing  Thanks McTinkerson! I have had an absolute PRICK of a year, between the bullshit with my job at forestry dragging into this year and ultimately culminating with being thrown under the bus to cover a corrupt CE's arse AND getting my contract terminated to the literal thousands in psych and legal fees I've had to pay to prove to the police that no, im not a loving threat to myself and others so i could get my rifles back after having them siezed on mental health grounds after my employer siccked the police on me as an intimidation tactic, to my current employer instructing me to stay absent from duty and just burn all my sick, annual and long service leave while they try to work out what to do with me after destroying my shoulders and leaving me with ongoing injuries that prevent me from doing my substantive role and then getting an ADHD diagnosis in the middle of it and having to come to terms with all the times that its absolutely hosed me over in the past that i've blamed myself for and the way that i've been treating people and interacting with people without being aware with it, and having to basically relearn how to live and function at 38 years old. Its been an arse of a year and this was an awesome gift at the end to just remind me that theres still good things in the world to look forward too. Gonna have to make sure I can send a gift next year. Might just start making it now so I dont run out of time!

I am a major slacker and got my packages mailed on the 22nd and tracking shows ETA is 12/27 so apologies for being late. I am still waiting for something for both of you so you are gonna get some even more delayed holiday cheer some time in January.  I also got my gift a while ago and have sat on it until today.  We begin with a half stuffed pillow.  A letter! And the coveted junk.  Rotaries are weird.  I have received a quest.  These actually came separately, I do in fact have a couple of pre-smog cars…the ‘69 Merc and the ‘71 GTV!  Funny to think that I am as unlikely to be able to play a CD as I am to play a minidisc.  STICKERS! Canadian salad lol    These have already been commandeered by my lil dude.  Can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much, McTinkerson! Happy Holidays!

We got the package a while ago but with our christmas tradition of getting really sick after the end of school, and trying to get Christmas ready while sick, I haven't been able to make a post. The package appears  Kids are excited to open it  The pig paper is a real hit  Meccano! This is cool, we will be making this for sure  Mint Cake (?) that everest climbers ate - never seen this before  It then devolved into finding out you can squish the packing material, so then the competition was on to see who could get the most    And the loot! Missing a failed D20 dice that got claimed, and some stickers that got put on kids beds. Building the diorama and the meccano will be done in the time off and the tea is appreciated! Thanks freelop!

Sorry for not posting earlier, I had a phone die (lost photos), got sick twice, baby got sick, and now am scrambling to keep a 2000 person WISP running as I'm on call for the three day Christmas! A box for me, Dr. Daihatsu  Cool packaging, haven't seen the stiff bubble wrap bags much before  Those sure are words  Great candy filled snack mix, Lego TURBO racecar, fancy hand soap that smells amazing, a Fiat pulley, supercomputer pump bushings, a whole box of alcohol wipes, incredible smelling coffee, tasty BBQ sauce almost out of the shot, and ENGINEER pliers from Glorious Nippon  Thanks Nitrospazz, I'm glad to get back into AI and its great to see so many of the wonderful people I've met over the years still here and doing well.

Glad it all arrived and glad your are feeling a bit better! When the post office asked what was in the package and I mentioned the screwdriver they all panicked because apparently your country customs can be weird about sending them. Kendal Mint Cake is basically condensed sugar with mint extract, treat it like Lembas bread

An package arrived earlier today but I sure don't remember ordering diapers... Hmm we're off to a good start  Nice letter but the mention of "cum tube" was unexpected and mildly concerning  The spread before I start digging in, everything individually wrapped is a very nice touch that I need to do next year. Random 10mm was floating around in the package  Amazing center punched license plate, will be a great addition to the wall of plates in the garage  Really nice headlamp, these things are so nice for working under the car. I think I had an older model of this one at work before someone walked off with it  3D printed 10mm socket but I think the scaling needs slight calibration, it's about the size of a coffee cup. Has bonus 10mm sockets inside!   Two great hotwheels, that Alfa is  Soft top release with lots of JB weld, looks similar to the one's on the VW Cabriolet but not sure. Very cool and heavy welded tie fighter ornament? More 10mm in the box that stuff was in  Very thoughtful card with stickers!  More stickers in the NSFW box. These will be a nice addition to the sticker wall in the garage.  Oh this certainly is something    Little later I checked the mailbox and found another package with these goodies. Is NSFW and you can likely guess what these are based on it being from something awful.   Yoshi and Judy thank you so much, this is an amazing collection. My wife is mildly mortified which is perfect.

Mail Call! I've been sitting on this one for a couple of days because it's been a hell of a week, but I can't wait any longer!  Got a little trail of arrows to...  Well, I think it's safe to say that France's world cup performance was not up to snuff  Dicks in and and out    A nice little haul right here. The missus tried to steal the candy ribbons, but they were too good to let go. Definitely excited for the drill bits, no more charts of "metric equivalents" for tapping.   I am already getting in trouble with that roll of stickers Thank you Big Taint!

I'm late to the game here due to a relative's passing, but let's focus on the AI:SS. Here's the spread:  A book I've been in need of for some time now:  And some especially goony highlights.    Thank you, slothrop. I've checked that book out a few times from the library, and it's good stuff. I'm more than happy to have a copy to call my own now. Stickers have been cracking me up too, but I'll have to wait for warmer weather to get them on my toolbox.
