Sorry. Been having a time of things.
On arrival
Cover Art
I selected a gold chain for a fixed gear project, a Cateye Mate connector so I can run my old trusty computer between two of my steeds, a couple black plastic cable guides for said fixed gear project, and a couple BoC stickers (there are tons of them left). Box should be arriving in Vermont manana.
There was also a tiny button that I selected, but it wandered off during the photoshoot. When it returns, I'll shoot it.

La boite de kaka arrive!
Tres styling! Et tres lourd (heavy).
I claimed a considerable amount of crap.
I replaced it with a like amount of lighter crap. Actually, that's a lie. I unfortunately purged all my crap some time ago, so I had no choice but to put decent stuff in the box. Arrrgh.
The box arrived late on Saturday and we are headed into Sunday and a holiday Monday. I will get it on its way as soon as I can (and as soon as I get nlerner's address - check yer PM!), but the box may end up taking a 48 hour vacation here in Portland Ore until the US Postal Service resumes its noble duty.

Almost kept that 3rd Eye Mirror for the novelty. A fine haul! And on behalf of all, thanks for clearing a bunch of the bigger stuff.

@gugie Aw, you kept my daughter's cat pic. <3
I am loving the addition of the art to the metal cover!
BluesDaddy and I have already communicated and ready to do some BOC turn around faster than Chris Froom r**ning to the finish line in Le Tour.

The BOC has arrived! A little beat up, but largely intact.
On my doorstep:
The reveal:
I'm off on an all-day bike ride tomorrow, so I'll be sending it off to @BluesDaddy first thing on Monday.

My haul:
BOC is loaded up and ready to go out to @BluesDaddy tomorrow. It's just going one state over (from MA to NH), so hopefully the existing box, seriously reinforced with packing tape, will hold up.

OKAY!
I just plowed through the basement bike lair and organized all my pieces and parts pulled off poor orphaned machines that pass through... Hope you folks are ready for some spectacularly unspectacular patina'd (or maybe just greasy) mid 80s Cr@p!

The BOC has landed after its short trip up I-93.
The box 'as 'ad it. I'll be using a new box.
Peeking inside...
The metal armor is taking a beating...
So I did a little straightening:
The haul:
As soon as I get a new Large Flat Rate box, the BOC will be on its way to @YogaKat .
