Nice haul. But please note the picture of the full box should be "as received", not "as refilled". More mystery that way. :)

My minions make the job of Crapmaster easy.

Yeah, I had a hard time leaving that LX in the box, but I had already pulled the Cyclone and I didn't want to appear too greedy before the Goddess of Crap.

BTW, now that you've got that decaleur, you'll need a front rack and a handlebar bag to go with. You can find those $10 Sunlite racks online (cause I know you're a cheap bastard, and proud of it). I have a buddy here in Portland that finds 12-pack coolers at thrift stores which are the right size and shape:

Look for the ones with solid plastic liners, the decaleur can bolt up directly to it. If you find one with some exterior pockets, all the better.

Considering my relationship with beer I certainly don't hate that idea. But I was thinking of using the decaleur as an excuse to finally get out the ol' sewing machine and do my own version of an acorn bag or something. And I've already got nice rack for it to sit on:

Yeah, man, do it! [MENTION=459894]NickFavicchio[/MENTION] sewed one up out of a old gym bag, I believe.

Rookie mistake.

Won't happen again, Crap Master!

The BOC left my hands yesterday and is on the way to [MENTION=129353]Falcon3[/MENTION]. Should arrive by tomorrow.

RaleighSport 10-25-17 10:54 AM

No box yet, I’m hoping the postal carrier didn’t throw his back out trying to load it on his truck.

Hmm, odd. The tracking says expected delivery by today, although it is still marked in-transit. My guess is you'll get it tomorrow.

Falcon3 10-30-17 07:58 PM

Box arrived today! Pics to follow

zammykoo 10-30-17 08:59 PM

Phew... it was in limbo for a few days and started to think it got sucked into the USPS abyss.

Falcon3 11-02-17 07:33 AM

BOC headed to [MENTION=334153]crandress[/MENTION] today. I’ll put up pics tomorrow.

Looks like it. But man, that thing had a good run didn't it?

crandress 11-04-17 08:01 PM

There is an aluminum liner in the bottom of the box...

Drillium Dude 11-04-17 08:11 PM

[MENTION=129353]Falcon3[/MENTION]: any pics for us?

You know what they say about he batter who's gone oh fer 25? He's due! You're due for some good luck. Between flooding and fires, all ya gots left is a major earthquake in your neck of the woods...

Besides, the Made with BOC Parts stickers might be getting low by now...

crandress 11-05-17 08:23 AM

my god, I have to empty and repack the box, I can't close it, geeze....

Yes, the BOC virgin's conundrum. My advice is to pick the crappies, borked piece and remove it, then try again. Repeat until the box barely closes.

The Crapmaster is all knowing and all seeing, and knows for a fact that some of the items fit that description in the current box. Start with one legged crank arms, turkey levers, and dork disks. A good playuh should be cleaning out the truly crappy crap in the box anyways.

noglider 11-05-17 09:32 AM

Why is it so hard to do just that? I left so much crap in the box with the stupid idea that someone might value it.

Thank, but I was able to rearrange the top layer to make it work, all that valuable crap is still in there, plus the items I threw in. And for the record, I have done the BOC in the past, just no on your watch.

Just waiting for an address so I can get a label on it. Hopefully next day turnaround!

Ah, good deal.

May I ask then, what is your MR ranking now? The Crapmaster likes to have his list in proper order.

Not sure what you mean by MR ranking? I participated two or three times in the last thread if that is what you mean.

The Crapmaster was bored one day awhile back, and decided to track how many times the Crapminions have played, and came up with the following rankings:

V = Virgin player, first timer
MR = Multiple Recividist (with number of times following)
and, finally, the highest calling of all,
CE = Crapmaster Emeriti, one who has either performed the role of Crapmaster, or has voluntarily restarted the game after someone has stolen the box (received it, but not forwarded it).

I'll put you down as MR4.
