Keep on posting. The box o' crap train has been rolling on for some time, expect it to keep on for some time in the future.

"Oh, there's a box in the entry" sez SWMBO.

Two days the Holy B.O.C. has been there. I enter through the garage, didn't see it. Shoulda been checking daily once the PM went out.

At any rate, Fuzzie and Marzie didn't want anything to do with it. Must be some anti-cat stuff in there. Jackson James, on the other hand, was very interested.



The reveal. Ok, more like a tease.



I took all the crap out to examine the box. I'm pretty sure I can't braze the cracks in it, let's keep riding the liner until it implodes completely.



My take.



Always good to refresh on those B.O.C. stickers, a few winter projects that will need them.

Some borked crap was removed, I'll have to remember to bring them to work and give a load to @aggie_grad for his weekly volunteer night at the co-op.
@zze86, fire in the hole!

This looks like a good time to get back in line. Can you add me too? People ahead of me in line, please note I could use some Campy Record brakes in mint condition -- you know, if you have any laying around.

There has been no update on movement in a while. Seems it is in the hands of The Doctor, is the box moving?

oh no, I would never call out The Crapmaster (Doctor). I have not doubt he sent it, he's The Doctor. I saw the post that he was sending it, just surprised there is no info yet. It seems we are beyond the normal allowable length of time, and other than requests to join, its been quiet here. I am collecting too much crap, so I just can't wait for it to get to me...

Say what you want about crap, but at least it's an ethos.

A reminder to all BOC players, if the person sending the box to you PM's for an address, and you know there's a chance that you won't be around, pass. Send me a PM and I'll reslot you down the line. I won't make you get to the end. If something comes up after you give your address, PM the shipper anyways, there's a good chance they can ship to the next person.

All I ask is you make an effort.

I'd make sure you can get the box in and out of the basement prior to filling.
