It was laying on the bottle when I got it. Well, looks like its a freon can tap. I had my suspicions of that but it was with the propane heater, so...

Glad you like the schwag, Mike. The murder mystery is a true tale local to my area. I know the guy who now lives in the house where the antagonist pushed a block off his chimney, allegedly in an attempt to drop it on his wife's head. I figured you could use the tour books given your locale. The matches are little footprints of where I've lived. You didn't mention one of the coldie-holdies is from Enthusiast Auto - do you have any idea how much a koozie costs from that outfit?? (He-he!) good news is when you grow tired of it I will be happy to take it back in trade for another! If you need more Roundels let me know, I'll fill up another box for you with them. Long live Elvis, the King!! The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom! Lincoln is the capital of Nebraska!!

Well that pretty much blows. Any insurance on the package Tyler? That would at least cover the mailing cost.

Has anyone else NOT received their packages yet? I've been keeping track, and it looks like the following members have not chimed in to say they've received their boxes:
pavel
travisj
slammin_e28
bavarianautowrks
msj

The last two members are fairly new and not very vocal on the board. travisj mentioned earlier that he would be out of town until after the 1st of the year, so we may not hear from him for a couple of days.

Where's Jeff? He's commented on other threads...

No, and I didn't keep the GD recepit, so no way to track it... :brick:

I went to the Post Office today to mail some stuff. There was a loooong line of people with tracking IDs trying to figure out where their stuff is.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Good things come to those who wait.

USPS has had it's problems this year as well as the others. I figure cutbacks and overload are the main problems.

I hope you get your package soon.

Haven't heard from idsbeaker yet either, but his box went FPO to Afghanistan... so, it may be a while before he gets it and reports back in :)

I arrived back home last night to find a priority box!

I will upload a picture when the uploader is functioning again, but here is a list:

sweet 507 coffee mug
(4) hotwheels
Foreign Affairs t-shirt
a very creative mechanical sculpture (picture needed)

Thanks Slammin'!
