I'll admit, for the second time my....giftee has had a VERY easy to deduce set of information. I'm still not giving it away just yet though. The anticipation is almost as fun for me.

Well that sucks USPS tracking just informed me that my package is being returned to sender due to bad address. Time to research and try again once I get my package back from FLA via USPS.  (wonder how long that takes?) Sorry to my recipient I am fairly certain I transfered the address correctly, but we will see.

Received box from Professor Brap!

Will not open until I drop mine at USPS.

Update on the package going to Waynesboro, PA. My USPS tracking said it was out for delivery, then the next day it says "Arriving Late" on Tuesday. Then "Arriving Late" yesterday. (I get these notifications around 7:30PM)

So, I don't know where it is. Shoot.

Just sent a package out to OH due the 11th, so its time to see whats in the box!

Chloe is vaguely interested

It survived the trip with only a hole or two

And the entirety of the box (minus the triangle bandage that Chloe claimed)

A suspicious package at the back gate.

The box obviously has some history. I remember seeing pics of it in a previous year and I plan to save it to send out for 2021.

Lots of awesome stuff that seems thoughtfully selected. There isn't much in there that I won't find a use for and enjoy.

The beverages carefully packed in an ammo can will not last beyond the weekend, but the cans will be saved.

Mrs AAZCD used to have a VW Fastback like that and I love the two wagons. The oil filter *is* correct.

The video:

 

Thanks Brett! and thanks to Bill for making this happen. Happy 2021!

My package was also going to Waynesboro PA and I have tracking alerts set but nothing updated for days.  Something must be up with that Harrisburg post office

Fear not, once the package returns back this way I will resend with proper address, Curious to see how long it takes to make it back to me now. It's a shame that your postal carrier couldn't make the jump and realize who it was for if it got that close. Geez.

You haven't met my postal carriers. I'm surprised they can count to 10, let alone 8413.

Ya'll I got a box! It's got stuff in it. I cut myself trying to open it. It was fun. Time for pics.

Yay! I get to hold on to the thing that too many of you weirdos have touched. 

Motorcycle mags. Looks like most of what's in here is way too classy for the parts I used to make. 

Stickers.

No clue what this says but it's to be said loudly apparently.

Grilles for speakers.

A steering direction manipulator device.

Knobs 

Switches

Noise control box

Educational literature

Manual Air Squeezer

Buggy of the 1/64 box of match variety

2 different modes of indicating that your garbage is too hot. 

 

we also have beads, beads, some beads, and more beads. Also various hardware and model car wheels. Will definitely find a use for some of this stuff. 

Thanks 93EXCivic!

Updated my previous delivery post with the box opening. Awesome gifting from Brett_murphy. Is this a spoke wrench?

Looks like a plastic tire iron. You can lever the bead off the rim and then hook the end of the iron to a spoke to hold it in place.

With my victim's box scheduled for a Monday delivery, I decided to open my box with some help from the pup...

Oooooooo...

All the pictures are upside down, you'll just have to rotate your monitor...

Mmmm... Bread... With my engineering minded child this will be put to use (not sure if this was just lucky, or planned but it's awesome either way)

Measure stuff, with less interpretation

Stickers, autographs and Mopar

Who doesn't need another ratchet strap?

I think there's a 10mm in here, just have to find it!

Awesome box!

In reply to BradLTL :

  • The little brass thingies next to the wrench in the box go with the welding cable connectors. They go around the conductor, under the set screw.
  • I don't think I ever got more than 90 ft-lbs. out of that 600 ft-lb rated impact, even when new and on a full size air hose.
  • I have used the breadboard (targeted), but Radio Shack quality is always a little iffy.

It's a tire tool for small tires- bicycles, utility carts, etc. It's used exactly as Keith said. 

I'm glad the box seems useful, I never know if I'm going to miss the mark or not. I included the Volvo wagon after I read that you'd owned a few, and the VW was as close as I could get to a Porsche at the time. I hope the beers were good!
