so, another box shows up today, this time from my buddy Phil. Thanks Buddy! Seems you are a busy busy man.
this was another 'unique' bomb.... Phil, you really outdid yourself. What the hell was injected with the foam? I know the smell, I just cannot for the life of me place it. Like a tar pitch, or axle grease... something black, smelly and slimey.
Thankfully I have an awesome set of tools... left over from my Jeep rebuilding days and carried over into my boating days. And... gee, somehow, a box of latex medical exam gloves found their way into my disater prepardness kit (wonder how THAT happened :whistling: ) The gloves saw a lot of use today! Without them methinks I'd be triple showering to get the smell off. Oh yea... about the smell. It was kinda strong - now for me, and most guys... no problem. hell, I LOVE the smell of axle grease and Hoppes #9 and shit like that. The Wifely Unit© not so much... you know, her allergies and all.
And since my workshop shares space with her washroom, she got more of a dose than I wanted. As she was sucking on her inhaler, she was swearing at you! Soemthing like 'If I have to use my Epi Pen I'm gonna kick Phil's ASS!' (I neglected to mention the address was spoofed... :laugh: ) However, I have been banned to the carport for anymore bombs that may potentially arrive. I figure I'll take them to the station and use the Jaws of Life on them if needed...
So extracting the goodies was a slimey, gooey, smelly mess. Thankfully with the right tools and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment, for you slackers) I was able to exact them pretty easily. Now, had I had the forthought to video tape it, I probably could have posted it on YouPorn and made the video of the day! Big, hard cylindrical object, wrapped in plastic, slathered in black slimey lubricant, pulled from a tight dark hole... yea, I think 90% or better likes!
To mystery man,... thank you. Some VERY interesting selections in the liquid libations department. And the smokes... well, even better! I look forward to enjoying them on the water in the next month.
Just sucks you guys are so secretive... with all the shrimp soon to be overflowing my freezer, I'll need to give some away as well as my smoked salmon to make room in the freezer. Oh well...I'm sure some bum on the streety corner will like it.
