Thanks to the ever formidable Pastor Bob for his organizational volunteerism.
And also thanks to Balindamood for the thoughtful gift. You actually DO live in Alaska, don't you?

Thanks to PB for all his work. And thank you bibliobob for the jersey. Also it looks like we're #1 on the list, so I hope that means we weren't the naughtiest of the bunch.

Special thanks to PB for organizing this effort - great fun to watch the progress. Glad the USPS only took 17 days to get a package from SF to TN but I am impressed with Saturday delivery which is unheard of in the GWN. Looking forward to getting home early in the New Year to see what SS brought to me. Happy New Year everyone. Brad.

Thanks again to RaleighSport and Pastor Bob.
Very nice of both of you to add a little something to the Holiday season.
It will eventually thaw here, so I'll get to try these great flies.

Thanks OTG for a great book!!
Yep. As a side note, that half-a-frame was hanging next to what must be the biggest pile of 700D tires in the universe (at least 30 of them). Some strange things lurking in the LBS basement.
And also thanks to Balindamood for the thoughtful gift. You actually DO live in Alaska, don't you?

Many thanks to Crandress for the calendar which is poised to take the spot directly above my office in 3 more days.
And special thanks for the great clock! Very nicely done. Now when I promise my wife I'll come up from the bike room in fifteen minutes I won't have any excuses.
And many thanks to THE BIG SANTA, Pastor Bob!

Thanks PB for putting this together.
Thanks also to Jervine for the very nice saddle. It's sitting on my new gravel bike waiting for a few parts to finish the build. It looks great with my grey powdercoat frame for a black/silver/grey build up.

Many thanks to the Pastor, and many apologies for the tardy response. My wife has all her mail-order stuff sent to my name at my work address (the home porch is not at all secure and her work won't allow personal deliveries like that - my boss doesn't care), so the box that came from Noglider on the 23rd looked like just another Amazon delivery for the wife. It did not get handed to me until Saturday as we were walking out the door for a weekend family obligation.
All of which is a long-winded way of saying I am an idiot. This should not be a surprise.
Once I finally dug into the box, I discovered a great underseat bag - photos will follow soon. Noglider must have noticed that my current collection of such bags are all Riv banana bags or copies thereof. They are great, but they do hold (and tempt me to carry) a whoooooole lot o' stuff - I have been teased about riding with a "steamer trunk." This one caries a goodly amount without the excess space I don't really need on most rides, and is smartly designed. Many thanks, noglider. Excellent call.

I just returned from a Christmas vacation today. My apologies for not mentioning my travel plans beforehand. When the mail from last week (held efficiently by USPS) arrived today, I was delighted to find one last Christmas surprise from my Secret Santa (Campngolf). LOOK what I got!
A cool Look musette and Look sticker. Thanks Campngolf!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed your gift. By the way, I recently gave that freewheel a full servicing with new grease throughout (fittingly, the ol' Pastor Bob treatment, if you will) so it should be ready for many happy miles ahead.
Lastly, THANKS again to Pastor Bob for shepherding us through another round of SS!
I hope everyone has been enjoying a pleasant holidays, and all my best for 2014!

Well this was fun. Thanks to MiamiJim for a cool parts stash gift, and to the good Pastor for making it all happen. I really appreciate folks like him, and Drillium Dude (who keeps the Box of Crap afloat).

The post office was a couple of days late for Christmas this year, but my Secret Santa hit the spot with Vittoria tubes, a nifty computer--now I'll have to read the instructions--a set of tire tools and a giant jar of chamois cream. Thanks JPZ66. I was able to grab a quick shot on my way out of town for a week.
