Good call on the bird. Although someone downline might have a Falcon it could roost upon. :)
[MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION], pls add me back on the end of the list.

Relieved to see I haven't delayed the BOC. Eager for its arrival.

You're now in the caboose.

What, no one wears a size L t-shirt?

I believe it's an XL. Didn't think it would be a good idea for me to grow into it.

Think of it as stored energy.

Hmm, stored until death isn't quite appealing.

If only it could be discharged by connecting wires to a light.

or wishing the box here faster. :D

Shoot, I've not been on much lately and missed some crap.

Happy belated birthday!

(and I see someone got the bird) :p

Nice bird is he friendly.

Toot-toot. En-route! Like sending your first daughter off to college. You know she'll return from that journey someday but she won't be the same. She may look the same on the outside but deep down inside, you know she's changed. Wish I could send her off to college for eighteen bucks.
Actually, got it in the mail yesterday but haven't been to the computer to announce it. The bird is very social. I don't know if that's the same as friendly.

Please tell me that's not a real-live bird. :eek:

The mail came at 11:00 today. I took the box out of the carrier's hands and took it inside to see.

The box was quite heavy, and very well packed. There were all sorts of goodies inside...

Sweet! I can use this. (psych this wasn't in the box. lol )

Here's what I removed. It will advance 3 separate projects that I'm working on.

I took out a couple things to read before putting them back in, adding my crap, and repacking the box.

Took the box to the Post Office at 4:40 pm, and was told delivery is expected on Friday.

5hr 40 minute turnaround-possibly a new BOC record!

If we can get three turns in one week, also a new record!

Glad to you got that 3-speed trigger, John, as I remembered you were looking for one. Ben showed great restraint by not claiming it.

Thanks, much, Neil. It will find it's way onto my long-delayed Velo-Cheapo that has turned out to be more work and more expense than I had anticipated. At least it will be cool when it's finally done.

I'm now convinced this should be renamed "The Box of Awesome." :eek:

Heck yes. That saddle would never have left here........

I somehow don't think that saddle was actually in the box.

Replying to my post with the pictures would be quite informative. :lol:

Are junk is awesome!

Always messing with the old guy.....

Houston, The Box Has Landed.

And . . . we need a new box. Have to go to the Post Office and pick one up.

I'll post the required BoC photos, and get this sent out, tommorrow!

Wow, that box gets some serious abuse! I started with a new one in both of my rounds, and it was just a couple of passes before it was kaput. Good thing they're free!

That box looked fine when it left here Monday!
