Hey, RMSS powers that be...

Having to send from the U.S. into Canada, I'm going to need the e-mail or phone # of my elf, yeah?

Responded to the email sent out, but figured to try here as well. The last thing I was waiting on finally was delivered late yesterday. Shipping will occur last minute more or less.
Responded a few minutes ago.

@binary visions thanks dude!!! Thanks to Mother Nature I will enjoy a cold one right out of the box. Aaand I lost the mug already(mrs loves & took it).
I couldn't resist that tiny little plane. I was looking for woodworking gift ideas and saw multiple people who said they got it as a desk ornament but ended up using it a ton. No idea if it's actually useful but it made me laugh.

I might have to get one of those mugs for myself!

I was like: sweet jersey, black with some camo, made in Scotland, fits me well.

Then I turned it around and:

:rofl: I like your humor @CBJ , the irony is strong with this one. I will proudly rock it when riding my 559EnduRAD bikes.

Cheers for the EURMSS gift and the laughs!

Brown Santa says that the outgoing package is delayed. I am guessing the half inch of ice over everything has something to do with it.

I originally modified the shipping rules because of COVID shopping delays, but I think shipping is too unreliable this time of year to do the, "must arrive by the 25th" rule. Seems like unnecessary stress.

Anyone feel strongly about wanting to go back to the old must arrive by the 25th rule, or is this method okay for everyone?

Less stress is always better!

@Nick I'm glad everythimg arrived in one piece and that you approve the gifts. Will you read the Louis L'Amour? I am a big fan myself and have a ridiculous collection.

Once I saw the dumpster fire socks it was hard to pick out anything else. The beers are random - I hope they taste good!

I like less stress. Until shipping gets under control (or if it does).
My elf's package should be delivered 12/29 now. Went from NY to MA in 2 days just to go west?

My outbound package has gone about 50 miles in 5 days, so I am cool with with the current rules.

had I known there were 2 doggos I would have gotten the bigger bowl.

the socks run small btw so they should fit no problem.

the Xmas coffee you sent was fantastic btw, even got the seal of approval from my wife. she was asking if I can order more.

Valerio is my local coffee roaster... that batch was roasted last Tuesday.


i will post pics of my haul tomorrow...

The bowl is perfect - no worries! And I'm so glad that both you & your wife liked the Christmas coffee! I just tried it recently & was surprised how much I liked it. I usually just want it black and bold... I hope you like the Fogbuster too. that used to be my fave and is on the other end of the spectrum from the other one. I can't wait to try the Valerio - it's next to go in my grinder (I'm so lazy that I put a pound in at time so I'm waiting to finish the current batch). Shouldn't be too much longer as I drink a lot of coffee.

I hope you like the beers I sent - I tried to give you a well balanced selection representing some of my fave local spots. :). My husband & I are enjoying the Troegs as we speak! Yum!

Cutting board from old wood flooring is awesome! Thank you very much.

Beanie will be used right away as it looks like this off the back deck currently and still coming down...

Glad everything arrived intact, and I hope you enjoy the beer!

I gotta say though, after seeing some of the pics on here, I feel like a slacker. Gonna have to step it up next year.

Took my Elf's package 3 days to leave the area after an ice storm and no updates for 5 days after that. Hopefully it is actually just truckin' cross country.
