No worries! I kind of expected that we have a bilateral gift exchange going after Sandro posted. @binary visions needs to check his random pairing algorithm for next year, me thinks.

I'm already looking into it, because it shouldn't have happened. I've used the same script for years now and haven't had any issues

My shit is on the way...sadly won't be there until after xmas...except for one item arriving today!

Maybe we need to motivate more Euro monkeys to participate? I guess the issue comes from too few entries, which screws the algorithm up?

 

[lovebunny]

Mine is due to arrive on the 30th. My apologies but I promise it is worth it!!!

 

[scrublover]

So this arrived. Much thanks! They left their real name...but I have no idea on the Forum name of the giver...

[WestCoastHucker]

[scrublover]

Skookum?

Or is that too obvious? I've not been (active) on teh Monkey nearly as long as some of y'all.

Dude those apples were grown on my farm! I am glad it arrived safely. My friend grew the popcorn. I used to work in that creamery also.

Excellent! Awesome gifts! Thank you.

I was actually born in Omak and moved to Oregon when I was three. But spent a good amount of the next 16 or so years Summers and holidays in the Wenatchee and Omak area with my dad and Grandparents. Mom and my older bro are in Spokane.

Flew into Yakima airport many times.

Well come around and ride bikes when you get the chance!

The apples haven't been cleaned yet, fyi. They were picked and then put into a cold room several months ago. They're still tasty though. Envy™ is the variety.

 

[Konabumm]

Oh boy! My package wasn’t supposed to be delivered until next Tuesday but it say ”Out for delivery” It’s a Christmas miracle.

 

[jonKranked]

First box is away!

 

[junkyard]

[TreeSaw]

The coloring book made my husband and I laugh out loud so I needed to find an appropriate recipient and it seemed perfect for the monkey

Some of boostindoubles gift going to good use.

(one for us, one for work tonight)

Apple Pie Bars Recipe

This delivers all the pleasure of apple pie — a buttery crust and topping sandwiching juicy spiced apples — without the need to roll out a dough A simple dough is pressed into a bottom crust and squeezed into crumbles for the top You can arrange the topping into a lattice, stripes, or other...

(not sharing the beer or cheese with work. love my coworkers, but fuck that)

That is awesome. We cooked some into pancakes this morning ourselves...

I investigated the EURMSS issue, I was primarily worried that someone actually got left out and had to dig through my logs. We ended up with some gift exchanges but I found the bug and made some updates to do some better error checking.

Apologies for the bilateral exchanges but everyone was accounted for at least

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday!

 

[binary visions]

I have no idea who my Santa was, but I received this amazing, custom, water bottle mountable flask! Absolutely awesome. Thanks, mysterious Santa!

 

[WestCoastHucker]

No Username, but a(n assumed) real name and address on the package. I'm sure I could figure out who it was if I were so inclined. Thanks for the swag RMSS...

 

[jonKranked]

Package #1 should be delivered to my elf tomorrow. I'm still waiting on package #2, tracking hasn't updated since the 21st

 

[BadDNA]

Some good stuff this year. I haven't been very active the past couple of years, been busy with other things, but this was always one of the things I looked forward to on RM. I need to get back here more often.

 

[binary visions]

My package has disappeared into the bowels of the USPS. The mysterious, "your package will arrive late but is still in transit" message.

The last time I saw that, the package vanished for a month and suddenly reappeared on the recipient's doorstep.

Glad you like it, BV!

Shout out to ScrubLover for preparing me for the robot apocalypse! I'm going to win their trust and then spill their hydraulic fluid with these bad boys.

[Konabumm]

@lovebunny thank you so much for the awesome Unique gifts. I absolutely love the beer cozy hauler it matches my beer bike perfectly. I can’t wait to try these beers

Thanks again!

 

[lovebunny]

Cheers! I'm glad it came in good shape. Those Stashers bags are so clutch. They are also stackable if you want to make a "beer frame bag". I hope you enjoy the beer. Fall is my favorite local brewery. Hope I didn't psyche you out too much with the Fox Transfer box. haha

RM santa paid a visit today, courtesy of @binary visions. Twas a good haul. A bunch of tasty beers, some coffee I will try tomorrow, and a pressure gauge. Best of all he made a donation in my name to the bikes for kids charity. Because who doesn't love a kids smile while they're riding a bike? Thanks bv

 

[jonKranked]

I feel bad for my elf, both packages are currently lost in the USPS abyss. I just hope the goodies will make up for the delays.
