Apparently the BoC arrived yesterday. Ellen said our sister-in-law came over and said (I'm paraphrasing), "What the heck is that???" So, an impression has been made on another member of the non-bikie community. I got home late yesterday, so haven't yet laid eyes on it myself. I will try to turn it around this weekend. @tiredhands, I will need your postal coordinates.

The box has been turned around and awaits the "letter" carrier's arrival Saturday. Winging its way to @tiredhands. The box weighs about a pound more than when it arrived.

The reveal:

Oooooh, some of my crap too! 'Reminds me of the line in Forest Gump.....the BOC is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. I'm looking forward to when the box comes my way again.

Observing that the box o crap makes about two hops per week, I estimate it will arrive here in about three weeks. I'm excited. It has really become better over the years.

Look what was at my doorstep yesterday (banana for scale):



Opened up:



Presents for me! Not pictured is a couple stickers, I had set the sticker folder aside when repacking the box and forgot all about it!



I feel like I rolled 7s on the box o' crapshoot, I was just about to order a set of long-reach brakes but these will polish up just fine!
@michael k you're up next, I've sent you a PM. The way things are going around here I might not be able to make it to the PO before it closes, so the BoC might take a Thanksgiving vacation until Saturday.
