TWSS 2019 What Did Santa Bring? (100% received!!!!)

@TWSS wife said a box that was larger than the poop/coal box arrived today. on duty tomorrow-sunday and off to my work christmas party so will post up again at some point in the next couple days.

 

@TWSS
I got mine, thanks to whoever had me, I have no idea how long it’s been in the mail box.

 

@TWSS
Thanks to my ss! Got my gift today! Much appreciated!
(Thought it was a gift for a friend that I’d ordered... so it got opened early)

 

Nice!!! I need this! This is how I chipped a tooth opposed to breaking a nail!

 

Got some of my gifts in today from my TWSS. I’ll post pics when I get off work in the morning. Have a merry Christmas to whom ever my TWSS is and thank you for the gifts!

 

Elephant poo, wildebeest poo, rhinoceros poo???

 

Green

 

an unexpected 2nd surprise from @TWSS arrived, how did you ever know i am in need of something like this!




here is my old-as-dirt truck getting ready to do battle with the mid west salt monster for the 23rd winter now
thanks to TW I only recently realized how truly bad things can get, i have benefited by not having a heated garage to cook it during the winters before i can hit the DIY spray wand wash
... still have a ton of DIY mod work left to do underneath so that i can end my 1st gen obsession with the rot and finally take it a bit more easy, the Eastwood internal frame coating will be the final touches on protecting it
thank you!

 

NO! You stop this madness!

 

now, my Secret Santa already sent me Legos (which my boys immediately snaked) and a super-complete trauma/first responder/first aid kit

and I thought that was well above and beyond reasonable expectations, of which i had none... this is my first gift exchange here

so, I've been out at my cabin most of the morning. when I came back, there were two more boxes. no attempts from my wife to hide them this time, "they're marked TWSS"

i opened one and asked her to get the other, which worked out very well





she found this message in with the blanket.

the blanket is being washed, she already ordered pizza and broke open a bottle of wine. I think she's excited to test-drive her new blanket. it's thick fleece on the other side and it's gigantic. this is weird, I think my wife just cheated on me with a blanket.

EDIT: she is wrapped up in this massive blanket with a glass of wine and is watching Irving Berlin's "White Christmas". when asked how she likes her blanket, she said "whoever this guy is, he nailed it"
this monster is 90" by 90", it's monstrous. my wife and I are both over six-feet tall and this has room for both of us with room to spare

you can never go wrong with a nice blanket.

damn, why didn't I think of that?

the other box:



another indicator, Bessey... that's A German clamp manufacturer, isn't it?

oh yeah, I looked them up after absolutely drooling over someone else's.. wait, there's no fucking way that



yeah. they did.

folks, this is a self-centering, 7-inch capacity, 90-degree clamp for mock-up, assembly, and welding

this is a welcome addition to a limited welding clamp set, and a very welcome sight to a twelve-year-old who's learning to weld from his old man

he already wants to replace the wooden gear boxes for his Boy Scout Troop with aluminum boxes

this is gonna rock so hard

and once again, to whoever you are... thank you very much and have a very Merry Christmas yourself

@TWSS

edit: I checked, and my secret santa target should have their first gift in-hand now

 

Awesome dude, I'm glad you like it. I'm super broke at the moment, and I hoped you'd like something you could use. I didn't realize it until I got home, that I forgot to put the note in it. The piece with a hole is a voodoo magic bottle holder. You'll amaze your friends with it.

 

I managed to break my original one... but they are really well made and rugged.. freak accident honestly how I bent mine to the point of not being able to use it properly. Amazon... really good prices

 

@TWSS

Got the gifts! Couldn't wait to open till Christmas. Thanks @BWSecretQ !

 

Dude that's freaking awesome! I'm a little into Woodworking myself. I'm impressed with your coasters they look like they took a little while. I really appreciate it! Cant beat handmade!

 

So I have no idea what’s inside, as I won’t open until Christmas, but @TWSS came in today!!!

 

Those will actually catch fish. I got them as a gag, and handed them out this spring. Buddy went and caught trout, bass, pan fish, walleye, etc on it.

Got mine on Amazon.

 

Yea, I’m thinking a few days in the warm house may not be such a good idea...

 

My gift is scheduled to launch tomorrow morning with a Southeastern trajectory
