obsolete said:Do you have ANY IDEA what it costs to ship just barely under 20 pounds of junk via "Priority" (actual delivery time 14 days) to Canada!?
I can imagine, I know what it cost to ship that way for the 9 or so days it took, I know what was quoted for 'express' (they 'claim' 2 days to arrival)...
YAY!! My box has arrived! Thanks to the lovly folks from NH. I see some stalking was done!
Legacy!
Nice a full

Pic 1: Box was from last year. Papa, Hungary to NH, USA. That is a sticker of the outline of the city of Papa.
Pic 2: Box of stuff.
Pic 3: Shop crap, I can't remember where the hubcap came from but probably from a set of axles to stuff under a Jeep. Jeep Cherocar blinker lens.
Pic 4: preach made hot sauce, highlift lock from my old Jeep (I lost the little piton that is basically a hook for the base of the highlift).
Pic 5: I live in maple syrup country I like to share the love, Space pen and light was carried by me for a few years at work (Shop 38 and my ID number for when I sign things) I has been deeper in the ocean than most here (GTCsomething will understand).
Pic 6: Mor maple love, the lock (I think) for the highlift holder, random E36 M3, spacers to convert a Jeep d44 rear to Grand Cherokee disc brakes to add preload to the axle bearings (SS or Ti, I think Ti though).
Pic 7: Regift from Hungary
Pic 8: Bezel is the bottom of an air filter that came off of the Webber that is on my Opel GT.
Pic 9: berkeley I wondered where I lost those 10mm sockets, spider gear from a Jeep (probably left over from putting a locker in).
Pic 10: Regift
Pic 11, 12, 13: Stickers and info for trying to get you to visit the Right Coast. Ski the East (and wipe out on the delightful blue ice), climb Cathedral Ledge in N. Conway, NH, etc.
Pic 14: A carbide cutter for a machine I cannot recall, but if used well it will sharpen the crap out of a pocket knife.
Note: Your digital footprint is large. You do freaking incredible wood work as seen in your camper build out.
Pleased to have, sort of, meet you!
In reply to preach (dudeist priest) :
That cap is from 91-96 caprice factory aluminum wheels
In reply to preach (dudeist priest) :
Thanks Again!!
The hot sauce is yummy! Tried it last night. Kid got into the maple crack.... Its good too, and not good for my waist line!
I will have to try to get over there at some point. So much to explore in between too.
Yes my footprint is huge..... I have kinda given up honestly. If people want to find me its not hard.
I've been trying to post pics for a couple days now, but I feel like I need to post to thank Brett Murphy for his AMAZING OUT OF THE PARK GOODIE BOX.
I am going to post pics, someday. BUt it was awesome and it definitely warmed my heart (and insides) with all of the awesome sauces, beers, and cookies!
So a heartfelt thank you, I promise I have pics- this board just hates me for some strange reason.
In reply to golfduke :
Woot! I'm glad you liked it.
Oof, I'm a bad person. My goody box arrived from Utah on Monday. Daughter unit and I unpacked it while I took pictures.....and then I got ADD and haven't shared with the class. Mea Culpa.
Daughter, fresh from the garage where we were working on her sisters car. New wheel bearings.
Karma looks unsure about the process.
Top layer, cool.
License plates for the collection. One day I'll have enough to do something properly ricey like build a spoiler out of them.
miniature AK and matching sticker. Both claimed by the girls. Weirdly the AK has working pieces, down to tiny bullets that cycle through the chamber.
Here we go, small belt, fuse holder, luggage strap, and a lizard slingshot (also claimed by a girl). If that is related to the lizard that I found in a project car recently, top level sleuthing!
Charger for my old Dewalt tools, choke cable, pencils, brake bleeder (always useful), a survival bracelet (again claimed), pegboard brackets (how did you know? I always need more of them!) and an AC charge hose (amusing I sent one out with my package).
Now we're getting deep. Pot scrubbers, pressure gauge, some connectors, and a tyvek suit. And motor mounts! What motor and what chassis I wonder? This is the sort of thing that builds are based on (scary thought). The cylindrical doodad is stumping me. I want to say it's part of a garage door spring system? Is that even close?
Some wire, safety glasses with angry eyebrows, a wrench, a badge to an MX-6 I owned 20 years ago, and some chain (timing?), bearings I need to look up, and an old school bungee cord.
And finally more license plates for that aero package in the future.
Thanks Utah, it's an amazing haul and includes some very useful items.

Future State Aero Package needs to be a thing now.
In reply to Patrick :
Makes sense when I met my wife she drove that vintage Caprice and had put Impala SS wheels on it.
I've finally recovered enough to open and post. Here we go.
Seems as though my sender knows my usual opening techniques:
Metal box, inside the cardboard box:
And here's the loot:
Hot Wheels, Ryobi Hot Glue Gun, screwdriver, GRM cossie, scented candle wax, filter of unknown variety, aluminum block.
Cool 3D printed figure
Used oil filter, ice scrapper, timken bearings, 10mm socket, helicoil set
Impact gun ! ! ! and multi-tool.
License plates, toggle switch and zip ties.
Thanks to my sender (Racetruck Ron?) for an awesome variety of cool loot.
My package goes out Monday headed to Utah.
In reply to Indy - Guy :
Glad you're feeling better! I had to cover my bases with the metal box just in case you took the warnings as a challenge. I hope I remembered right from your threads and that you do in fact have Ryobi 18V cordless tools, if not let me know I'll get you a battery. Those glue guns are my favorite tool that we make. The 3D printed spaceman is "Phil" he's Matterhackers test print I run when playing with new material/nozzle setups on my printers. The aluminum block is part of an LS oil cooler line I disassembled. Someone gifted me that Stanley screwdriver but since TTI pays the bills I don't think I can really own anything from Stanley Black&Decker.
The bearings, helicoil set, license plates, multi tool and happy meal toys are from years past. Oil filters that aren't AC Delco so I don't know if they fit any of my cars. The candle wax was for WTF factor and the impact has been taking up space in the bottom of my toolbox for the last 4 years since I got a Milwaukee High Torque.
In reply to RacetruckRon :
Your Stalking was spot on!
Yes, I do have an 18V Ryobi system, so I'll give the glue gun a try. You also must have noticed I'm always posting in the Wagon Appreciation thread, so the Hotwheels wagons were spot on. The impact gun is amazing. It's hard to believe I've made it all these years without one in my toolbox, so I was quite excited to see it in there. Thanks again! (and sorry for the delayed posting, Covid Sucks!)
In reply to Indy - Guy :
I searched my whole collection for Jaaaags but came up short so Chevy wagons were the second choice.
In reply to KyAllroad :
The cylinder is a fan spacer, and the chain is indeed a timing chain (severely stretched and sharp in places) and the brackets/mounts are for a 350/s10 swap I never got around to. Some regifted stuff and a bunch more free space in my tool box. That little keychain will add real horsepower. Science proven. A couple of those plates are from my mx6 experience and the car was scrapped before I ever bolted them on. So those are new.
In reply to preach (dudeist priest) :
I have indeed been deep in the ocean and frequently worked with the outside machinists at EB. Nice stickahs!
In reply to 11GTCS :
As you guessed I am from Portsmouth.
Currently in Sandy Eggo right now though.
In reply to preach (dudeist priest) :
Missing all the fun here eh? Enjoy, I was just watching some golf coverage in San Diego, looks lovely! Keep up the good work!
In reply to matthewmcl :
Ok, got around to measuring the BMW calipers as best I could with the tools available (box is still at my house where I have rulers and tape measures, calipers are at the shop.) Rears are 75mm spacing on the pin centers, and 77ish-mm (probably 3" centers) on the bracket bolts.
Fronts are 95mm pin-to-pin, and 120mm bolt-to-bolt.
If they are of use to you, they are yours for the cost of shipping.

I have trouble uploading pictures from my phone sometimes when it's plugged into my computer. What usually works for me is copying all the photos into a folder on my computer and uploading them from there.
