Thanks TreeSaw, give me a few more days and I will let you know what I think!It is!!!! Hope you enjoy it
Well the sneaky postman decided not to let me know he had been by the house but @iRider let me know about the shipping info. Candy, beer and screwdrivers is all a man needs for Christmas. I actually still have some screwdrivers I bought in the 80s (started collecting tools as a kid) but some have been stolen from me by contractors and I have not fallen in love with the the all in one types plus with an old house I run into all kinds of screws. Thank you Alex for the gifts!
That's Haley. I told her your are my buddy with the Alfa that had more issues than the M. She asked if there was anything we could get for the Alfa. It was that or a die-cast. She also picked out the beer.It’s here!
Thanks @stoney
neon yellow gloves, sour beer, and some check engine coasters to remind me of my Alfa! Thanks homey!
HA! She's a good kid! I'm hoping to only see those symbols on the coasters for a few years!
Well FedEx sure took their sweet-ass time getting it here, but I finally received a box with a load of beers and a cool local shirt from @boostindoubles !
I can't wait to dig into them, especially the mysterious blank can

BTW, I dipped a teaspoon in this and then stirred it up in a pint of salsa fresca, and holy shit. I was vibrating and had sweat dripping off my hayer and ears. Stuff is no joke and highly suggested if you really think you like hot…
Thank you RMSS!

Those grips are fucking amazing. Make sure you have the left/right on properly and the the angle mirroring - there is a notching on the inside. You never knew how bad straight grips felt until you've run a pair of mildly ergo grips. After I ran them on my first bike, I swapped them on all of my bikes. Best. Grips. Ever.Thanks to my SS. Beers and new grips were just the ticket
So has everyone officially received their gifts? Nobody still waiting?
I haven't received mine yet. @Flo33 I don't work at Skottland yard but you seems to be the one sending to me. If so please share your tracking number
Oh, it says ready for pick-up at Tullinge-1.

Please tell me if you run into problems.
what grips?
Ergon GA and GE series grips. I can't ride straight grips anymore; they feel weird and fuck up my grip strength.
They were now twice on bikes that I bought used. As everybody likes them, I tried to gel with them. Played around with the rotation and such. They now feel comfortable ... after I replaced them with ODI Ruffian MX.
Ruffian's are huge diameter. If you are used to running grips that big, an ergo isn't going to work. I prefer a super thin grip and these were an increase in diameter to what I was used to (harharhar), but once I acclimated, I haven't been able to switch back. The 4x I got from @Full Trucker had normal ODI's and I couldn't ride properly until I swapped them over.They were now twice on bikes that I bought used.

I think you are talking about the ODI Rogue grips. Ruffians are thinner than the Ergons that were on the bike.
You are right.
The small EXT HSC tool is laser printed Ti and needs some work with small file. The bottle is typical Styrian Pumpkin seed oil and very delicious as salad oil, as topping on pasta, oil for scrambled eggs etc.
One of the bacons is air dried wild boar and the other one is from an old pork race which is organically reared in vineyards in the south of Styria. Cut them as thin as possible. The small glass jar is apple mustard, very delicious with smoked sausage. The rest should be self explanatory
Edit: the certificate was a print in a wrong format and therefore perfect stuffing material to protect the good stuff.

Thanks for the heads up! I have some basic understanding of German but it is always nice to get pointers from the locals on how to use the products!
Nice you mentioned the ext tool, I wouldn't have figure out what it was otherwise

Aha, my brother lives in Stockholm and my plan is to bring the bike next time. Maybe you can show us some trails! I do no longer have a DH bike and is down to a trail bike only.
@TreeSaw had me laughing when I showed my wife the box everything came in. LOL a bicycle seat belt. Thanks for all the bike and food treats and thank you for sharing the home grown maple syrup! Coffee beans were on the grocery list today.. not anymore Freakin Ridemonkey beanie is awesome too. My kiddos demanded sampling of the honey. Good times.

We do! We've been making our own syrup since 2017. It isn't hard, is pretty much a low cost option for us now (Sq-Earl built our burner and we have make enough syrup to offset the cost of the taps, lines, pans for cooking and jars for canning). Plus, it's good for day drinking when the mud season is upon us.

When I saw that box, I knew I had to use it. They had some other ones, but it was definitely perfect. The honey is made in Saratoga from wildflowers on their farmland. It can be ordered online too if they love it. That shop is cool (tea and honey) and has some really nice variety. Hope you enjoy the loot!@TreeSaw had me laughing when I showed my wife the box everything came in. LOL a bicycle seat belt.
