Secret Santa 2020 'What Did Santa Bring You??' Thread

Those are awesome!

 

SS strikes again! No note in the box but these were only on my SS wishes.....thank you!!! Will be put to good use first thing tonight! Whiskey snifter glasses

 

That curved one looks like something out of video game and its shaving sharp.

 

You may want to keep one ready for Monday...

 

Got home from my week on the road and had a box waiting for me. Thank you for the knife and the beer.

 

Glad to know I wasn't the only one to Google 'Wera Tool-Check Plus" the minute I saw that post.
I keep a Dewalt tool case sized tool box, as well as some tools in my swingcase, in the bed of my Tundra.
That Wera set would certainly condense some of the many tools I have in them..

 

I gotta put this out there;
I've never been part of a Secret Santa until this one, this year.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the giving and receiving of gifts and all the comments posted in this thread.

I'd also like to thank @Squatting Pigeon and @Secret Santa for putting it together and monitoring it..

Merry Christmas peeps..

 

Just roll up grandma in the carpet and put her on the roof rack.

 

My package that is supposed to be delivered today from FedEx is being transferred to the USPS... and they haven't picked it up yet.

 

It's a pretty sweet kit. I added it to my Amazon wish list.

 

That's my least favorite bait-and-switch for delivery...tied with the "your package was delivered" notice that just means it was given to USPS to deliver someday (usually also by FedEx...).

 

We love our shit, its in our blood. You cant deny it though, its good shit...

 

Maybe you'll get it by Christmas 2021...

I ordered my wife something and it was sent UPS surepost.
UPS delivered it my local post office Monday.
It has yet to be delivered to the house..

 

Shipping is really slow... 3-day Priority mail is taking 5-6 days!

 

I mailed mine 3 day priority mail on December 2 still hasn't arrived.
I contacted the Post Office 3 times and even opened a case.

The postal service has gone down hill. They told me that they have been hit hard with Covid and don't have enough employees to sort and deliver the mail. Today when I called I was told that they believe my package is in the Christmas overflow bin.....WTF

 

Had a letter mailed to me a few weeks back. Was coming from 7 or 8 miles away but between gas and time to go pick it up, wasn’t worth it so just mailed priority with tracking. Took 8 days to get here.. ridiculous

 

In my neighborhood we get our regular mail delivered but then there are 2-3 extra mail carriers that drop off packages throughout the day. Most inefficient thing I’ve seen!

 

When we moved here, it was a dream. We'd get mail in front of our home by 10:30 in the morning. The postal carrier was super friendly, it was great. Then she retired and the carrier that replaced her is just mean. You say hi and she just looks at you. Real sweetheart of a lady.

On top of that, they switched our mail time from 10:30 in the morning to 5:30 or later at night. The post office is a block over and a block up from my house. We are now the very last block they deliver to. It's a real butt-sucker.

 

We've had the same mailman since we moved into this house (early 2007) and he's always been fantastic. Actually when we were installing our mailbox years ago the wife and I were going back and forth on where/how far in from street to install it when he rolled up ... asked him where he wanted it and he told us . Always knocks on the front door and waits too if a package won't fit in the mailbox and if it's raining they are tucked inside the storm door or wrapped safely in plastic bags. It will be a sad day for us when he retires ... we already notice the difference in mail delivery when he's on vacation. Guess the others don't have his level of dedication or customer service which is unfortunate.

 

Welp, the big brown truck dropped my SS gift off. A big ole thank you to who ever you are. I've already sampled the hot sauces, finally some hot shit with a good taste. The ghost pepper & blueberry is really good, starts off just like blueberries and immediately lights your ass on fire. Also got some sweet yota swag.. Thanks again.

 

I've had that Ghost Pepper & Blueberry hot sauce before, so good!! Seems like either you or your SS watch Hot Ones, since most people don't know about heatonist

 

That sounds yummy.
Love the DC bottle opener!

 

I thought your name was "EasyCrawler" too!

 

Yeah, I'm a hot sauce freak. These damn restaurants come out with hot or spicy foods and I'm like, these dumbass people ain't got a clue what hot or spicy is.

 

Yeah, quite a few on here think/thought that. I've got a 1st gen Toyota pickup buggy and rock crawl a good bit, being from Easley, it just fit. I have the same user name on every forum I'm on.

 

Actually this came up recently in a discussion with my wifes aunt who worked the the USPS for over 40 years. She made the very valid point that few people ever bother to reach out with positive experiences yet are quick to if they have a single bad one.

 

I had a message sent to me this past sunday saying how my package will be sent from my SS this week. Not sure on delivery date. USPS and UPS both been in and out lately on their consistency. We'll find out
