I'm going to head over to the post office to ship out the box if they're still open.

Enjoy life!

Well maybe I am a little impatient but I am waiting.

at least youre coming up!! I feel like its a snails pace for my turn! Im excited though! :popcorn

The BOC should arrive Monday or Tuesday. I made it to the post office on time to get it out on Saturday.

Thats some nice flic stand:(

the BOC has landed, dug thru it tonight, hopefully send it out tomorrow if [MENTION=388437]last[/MENTION] ride PMs his address

PM done. looking forward to the BOC!

I got it 2 days ago and it promptly puked up everything out upon my kitchen table.
I rooted thru the various bits and bobs and came up with the following

where upon I ruminated and obfuscated upon said items and changed my mind numerous times and always came beck to these items. reaching into my local and my imported crap, I was able to shove even more craptastic crap back into the old box and got it shipped out today.

Well played!

And one of the decals I put in made it to you! BTW, here's the artist/author's picture site

The Box has landed!
I am sorting through my first glance choices, and seeing what additional "crap" I can fit in the box. I will get it to the PO Monday, if I have the next address.

Ok does everybody have a flick stand now lol!

They are handy, and avoid problems caused by normal kickstands...

Sorry for the delay Skip et al. The dang box exploded, :eek:(actually the seam just split halfway through the re-taping process) I tried to put in a bit too much. It never occurred to me what good packers y'all are.
I had visions of putting lots of stuff in, but there's not much room, silly noob that I am.

I re-arranged, repacked and re-sheathed the box.... then "Doh!" I ran out of tape, reinforcing the new one box. It idefinitely still bursting at the seams. I can't imagine what it was like before the metal liner!

Box will ship tomorrow, having been reinforced yet again. I will bring it to my small town PO, so they should accept it, even though the flaps don't meet in the middle.I have a picture of my haul, but it's on my phone, I will post it later.
Best regards, Eric

Box landed today. I took a couple things, added a couple things. Here's my haul and the teaser pic of the box. As you can see, I'm going to have to work a bit harder to squeeze everything in... (Is anyone else disappointed that the photo attachment stuff no longer seems to work properly? Thumbnails are much larger - not really thumbnails anymore - but are no longer mouse sensitive, so you can't view the full resolution image.)

I'll try to get it out tomorrow or Monday.

[MENTION=96605]smontanaro[/MENTION] -- Don't forget the rules allow (encourage?) the removal of exceptionally useless or beat-up crap when space requires. ;)

Right. That may not be much help. My second try still came up short. I will admit that though I took some stuff out for donation to the local bike co-op, I also tried to squeeze some more stuff in. :( I haven't given up yet.

Edit: Okay, I managed to get its corpulent self packed and taped up. Awaiting [MENTION=165435]carbomb[/MENTION]'s address.

Here are three updated photos, sneak peak, stuff destined for the bike co-op, and stuff I took.

Yes. Have you tried a web hosting site for photos and linking to them here?

It also seems that non-premium members can post photos directly. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I know I can link to images on external photo sharing sites, but they all try to make it challenging (or at least tedious) to get the URL of a raw image (where's the ad revenue in that? I suppose). Also, uploading images means they will be available for future BF thread archaeologists, whereas, if I kick the bucket or otherwise disable/delete/tweak my Flickr/Google Photos/Ipernity/Photo Bucket site those images will kick the bucket as well.

I hope nobody removed the bottle opener...

Sorry, don't recall seeing one. A mouse (perhaps containing catnip?), a toy car, and some army men. I have no idea what any of them have to do with bikes, but I left them for the next recipient to puzzle over.

OH, CRAP! That's what the dang thing was...

No longer being a beer drinker, I couldn't make heads or tails of it, and I wanted the room to put other stuff in.
But all is not lost, I'm looking at it as I type. I will send it up the list abit so it can get re-united with the BoC.

Sorry Dave! Glad I saw your post.

My god, man, how do you recover from long rides?

1)That must be the reason i only go on rides under 80k... :foo:
2)Probably how coffee was discovered, by someone who stopped drinking beer...

I am working myself back up to longer rides. Enjoying rides over 50k is a big improvement from suffering on a slow 10k. :thumb: Goal for next year is to ride 100k regularly.

No worries! Last time i put a bottle opener in, it was more obvious. I should have labeled it. And never fear, no functional crank arm was harmed in the making of this device.
