The box is pack and plan deliver to USPS on Friday.😉


My selections are modest
  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

Three tube lights,  2 of which are not functioning and may use parts or add parts to hopefully get one to function. I did not try the third one, but hope just 3 AAA WILL SHED SOME LIGHT   Otherwise these were wasting space.

A NFL Steelers Vic Classic requires cleaning. Destined for a  friend.

And a small BUCK requires a new edge.

The box was well packed and many items wrapped so nicely, I did not examine all that I could.

👍
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I knew there'd be a Steelers fan further north.  Good selection.  :tu:

Buck 425 club!
(Image removed from quote.)

What made it special is the Idaho stamp on the blade. The first one in my collection.   It was made the year that Buck moved from San Diego to Idaho.

   Hey, Looper.  Did you get the Zippo out of the surprise box too?  I remember you like those things.  I would have snagged that cute Classic SD if it had been me.  Free 58mm?  No brainer.  Best wishes.  G

Yes, it is in the picture, forgot to mention.

The White Classic is getting cleaned up, and will be gifted to a friend who grew up outside Pittsburg. He’ll Bitch and chaw about such a small knife not being worth a darn, then I will flip it to the other side. I bet he will tear up…

Classics are certainly not useless! I have a Classic or a Rambler on each of my keychains.

As I said before, this BOX has so much goodness packed inside.
I only selected what good be used.

There were numerous bundles I did not even examine,!just tucked into the new box. There are some very neat items as well, tempted, but hey I have numerous tools, and not needing to get familiar with new items at this stage of my adventure.

If you are thinking about signing up, this is time to get on the list,  so much goodness inside and quality too!

Cool picks!  I don't think there's anyone after me.  Maybe FarmerX wants another go?

 There is no rush. Take your time and examine each bundle.

I did not, because my storage boxes of knives are full, and I am very happy with my assortment of LM tool I utilize.

IIRC, this was my third time examining the box. Do not remember what I added, and was afraid I may select something I wanted to pass on.

Enjoy. Trust me, you will want to take your time.

Don't be shy. Any member in good standing can add their name to the list and will receive in turn a medium flat rate box packed with awesomeness. This is not a limited time offer.  It keeps going for as long as one more person signs up, or until there's nothing left in the box.  Take out whatever you want to keep and add whatever you want to contribute.  Adding anything else is optional, but everyone does. Then simply send the box on to the next person on the list.  Post pictures of what you kept, but do not tell anyone what is still in the box.  That way, it will still be a surprise to whoever gets it next.  It is recommended to use a new box and lots of tape to prevent blow outs.

I do indeed. The timing isn't great, though. I'll want to know my work schedule and be sure that I get paid without undue issues.

Nice picks, LoopCutter! :like:

That's a kind offer, but unless you really want to see the box move along, I'll hold off for now. I'll need a weekend to go through my "could go" items, and I won't know about any pay issues till 4 October.

Glad it arrived intact.

When I delivered to post office, she indicated. “You are getting your moneys worth!”

An update, of the 3 flash lights, only one was salvageable.
One was missing the LED fixture, so way to fit a new bulb.
The other, the end cap button switch was broken and internal plunger was missing including the tension spring.  The LED bulb still in placed would turn on, but would flicker then fade out.

Provided me at least two hours of entertainment 😁
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

   It was something to piddle with anyway.  Sometimes a diversion is what you need.  They are digging strawberry plants and boxing them just around the curve from my house today.  Gonna box them up and ship them to Florida.  It was a bad year to try and grow anything actually.  Maybe Lazar can get some entertainment out of the box.  Best wishes.  G

Made my selections, a pair of Wenger Esquires, the Mora and the Swiss Army Knights patch.  The Esquires are pretty nasty, tools don't snap open or shut.  Maybe with some tlc I can get them working smooth again, or maybe use them for parts.

   I would have snagged the Mora first thing.  Just because.  Esquires are a love, hate thing with me.  Hard to explain.  I carried one for half of September.  The patch is a definite keeper.  Best wishes.  G

Very nice selections!    Did you dig through the entire contents?   Those were near the top iirc!

You will enjoy the Mora 511. I have couple and are good for so many cutting jobs.

Oh yeah, took a while, but I did go through everything.  Lots of good stuff in there!  Already have a Mora Companion, this 511 does seem to have a beefier handle, so wanted to give it a go.

Need some members to sign up!  :cheers:

Good choices! :tu: I'm still giving some thought to one more go, but I have another thing to work around: lack of a secure delivery spot. Why USPS wants money to have it held at the Post Office is beyond me. :twak:
