The box will go out in the morning. Here is my take:



Edit: I just dropped the box off, expected delivery Monday.

Stoked to be next. I hope there's plenty of room for my contributions. Just went through my bins and could fill that box 10 times over.

Since the list is short, and time is long, please allow me to re-partake in the (in)famous Box O' Crap bonanza. Please add me after @obrentharris so the Box can have short and happy travels from he to me. I solemnly promise NOT to add undue and inexcusable delays to the swift execution of the B o' C flight pattern. (why cannot the PO be open on Saturdays in my tiny burg?)

Brent, you have been added to the list. Speaking of crap, I am still reminded of that clock I made for Secret Santa years ago as I have the first failed attempt hanging in my shop...

You have been added back to the list. Fortunately my PO is open until noon on Saturday, what gets me is that they lock the building so I can't get into my PO Box 24/7 like I could when I lived in the Seattle area.

I still have it! In my opinion the best gift given in that round of Secret Santa. Home made stuff is the best!

Where i live is just like Dubuque IA, except, smaller, more rural, drier, and more of the cow ***** aroma. and no big river around, just miles of dairy and almond farms. And your town sounds like a slang word for regurgitation, while mine is Spanish for bathroom!
Fun fact, the spell checker wants to change Dubuque to Albuquerque. Now that is a total DIS!

Los Banos? That always used to get a chuckle when driving up and down I-5.

I assure you the cow aroma is present at times... But there is also a bread bakery, so it helps to counteract.

I always assumed more of a porcine rather than bovine aroma!

Los Banos it is! the locals say BAN-os, where I would say Bahn-yos, named for ( i hear) the springs up in the Hills to the west and the Baths that were built there.
My advice is to resist any temptation to veer off the freeway, since it would just a waste of 2 miles on the cars tires and gas! Nuttin to see there!!!

Alright, I don’t normally do this in hockey season, but I’ll throw my hat in again and kindly request that the Crapmaster add my name to the list again.

Recidivantly,

Went to drop this off at work but they said no can do, it's too heavy
Apparently they have a 25 pound limit for personal shipping, and the box is now at 31#...
Will stop off at the PO after work or early tomorrow, apologies for the one day delay
