Either way, not much need for my non decal services since you took the mantle.

It's good to know that there's a barking chihuahau ready to unleash at a moment's notice.

Just checking on its current location. Is it still with carbomb? I'm not on deck but in the hole and I don't want to cause a hold up if Andy_K is in need of an address to send it to.

Sorry, time just flew by this week and I neglected the BoC duty. I just sent it on its way and Andy_K can expect it Tuesday.

BoC chainrings on my Lipstick on a Pig project. Origin8 46T chainring, knackered Sugino 53T chainring converted to chain guard duty.

USPS is making me nervous. The tracking currently shows the BoC as "In Transit to Destination" and claims that the expected delivery date is yesterday.

I waited. I hoped. I dreamed. And at long last, after a suspenseful delay, the Box O' Crap arrived at my doorstep.
It was more than I could have wished for. For a few minutes this evening I thought it was also more that I could have gotten back in the box after unpacking it. Someone should do something about that soon.
Alas, the things I could think of a use for didn't take up much space.
It took several tries, but I eventually managed to stuff all of the crap, plus my additional crap, back in the box. I'll send it on its way to @hilltowner in the morning.

I have a question about the BoC stickers. I couldn't figure out how it's supposed to work. Is it just a tough peel-and-stick type of thing? I assume that since it doesn't appear as a negative image it's not a traditional decal. After a couple minutes of fussing with it, I gave up and just sat it back down on the workbench.

Confirming, the Crap is now once again in the hands of the USPS and on its way to @hilltowner.

Looking forward to the box, and to a possible ride next Summer with Hilltowner, who I discovered lives a few miles from my parents. The BOC brings the world together, see?

I'm having anxiety attacks about being so far down the list
I need to find another crap fix somewhere.

Trying to show the current condition of the box but all of my links to Google photos come out broken, even with sharing set to "public." Dunno, but try these links yourselves (in Google Plus):
Box as it appeared on arrival (after a bit of rummaging)
Box and assistant selector
My haul of the swag

The box has come and gone, and on its way to J.Oxley. Not a bad haul. I did remove a few unusable or co-op donatable items to make room for some better quality crap. Nora was very excited for the Star Wars stuff. 
I have to say the metal liner is key. Thanks to whoever added it to the game.
