All Mighty Crapmaster. I have read the rules and regulations and other fine print and agree to abide by all such ad infinitum, May the force Be With You, Amen.

I humbly offer my online persona / handle for inclusion on the Box O' Crap Eternal Waiting List.

I received the box today:
http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...p;d=1464218831
Took some stuff:

And added some other stuff:
http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...p;d=1464218840

The before shipping picture is before I laid the paperwork on top of things. It is also a bit out-of-date. I squeezed some other stuff into nooks and crannies. The box is kind of stem-heavy. I looked through them all pretty carefully, but decided I didn't need/want any of them. I hope someone does. I think there are about eight stems in the box. I tried to offset that imbalance with other parts...

[MENTION=371000]eastbay71[/MENTION] I need your street address. You might have already sent it to me, but I couldn't find it. Please shoot it to me again at skip.montanaro@gmail.com.

Got Matt's mailing address. The BOC is waiting by the front door for the letter carrier, all 24lbs of it. Weather is crappy here at the moment, so no schlepping of BOC on my Xtracycle this time...

A couple things:
  1. USPS around here is getting picky about unscheduled pickups, so schedule your pickups. I can't imagine why they mind picking up unscheduled boxes of crap. :innocent:
  2. Here's a PayPal URL you can use to buy and print postage, with a decent discount. I paid (I think) 16.35 vs the regular 18.75.

How many times is this? Twelve? Ah, alright, yer added, again. Should I just write a script to add you back in every 3 months or so?

:crash:

In after [MENTION=45088]nlerner[/MENTION] !

The flow of bicycle parts from his drain can empty in my basement any day.
[MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] sign me up for a 4th orbit of Planet BOC.

Fahrenheit531 05-25-16 10:07 PM

GAH! What's with the "before shipping" pics?! That's not the way this is done!
We don't want to know.

8. Photograph the box contents as received (not a completely-revealing photo - just the box open and the crap on the top of the pile) and post (this thread is worthless without pics and all that...)
9. Photograph what you took out, but not what you put in - it's supposed to be somewhat of a surprise.

Recidivism runs rampant today.

I have at least two projects that could use a 22.2 stem of moderate length, a long 22.0 and one that needs a 1 1/8" of excessive length and moderate rise. I think I'm about a half dozen stops down the list right now, so good timing for a load of stems :)

If you don't find what you need, email me. I have a collection.

Thx! Once the dust settles, I'll email you if I'm a stem or two short.

That crap is priceless.

If I am not considered bad luck after the last box disappeared with the person after me, may I be added back into the rotation?

The bad luck was having [MENTION=209957]degan[/MENTION] next in line. I'll make sure and slot a highly reputable recidivist after you.

Rose, fellow Whovian, you're in!

Box O' Crap has landed and damn it's heavy! Pics to follow this afternoon, I've got a busy morning.

eastbay71 05-30-16 01:15 PM

Here is how the box looked when it landed. Still in really good shape considering it's been shipped twice. I'm off tomorrow so I'll go get a new box and ship it out again. http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/a...psn032mden.jpg

eastbay71 05-30-16 01:16 PM

Here is the obligatory open box shot

eastbay71 05-30-16 01:19 PM

And here is what I took. [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION] I'm down for another round! Can you put me back on the list?

Back on the mainland. Let me know where you want to put me in and I shall contact those fore and aft.

Done! Note that the Barking Chihuahua is back just in time to PM him for his address.

How was the honeymoon? Pix or it didn't happen!

eastbay71 05-31-16 02:17 PM

And the BOC is headed off to RaleighSport. He is fairly close so I could have probably driven it there for the same price. It should arrive Thursday.
