I am hoping you sent payment to Blaine in sweaty wrinkled ones from your Friday night side gig.

I have to admit, the effort of figuring how to ship the dollars forced me to completely lose sight of who I was sending to. I am a rank amateur and sent it normal. But you must also understand I in no way want to be caught in a war of escalation with him. He has more things to ship in future hopefully regarding transmission.

Oh, we're way past that, you started it and I'm just continuing with every so slightly more creative ways of shipping stuff. The only thing that stopped me from painting giant red dildos on the the outside of the box is I am not good at freehand drawing, but I am awesome at tracing things. But alas, my stencil cardboard is only 10" long.

Is that a challenge? Because that really sounds like a challenge and you know I'm always up for a good challenge. Throw down the gauntlet, I dare you.

It's not a challenge, yet. Let me think it over for a while.

Lately I've been drawing them on dollar bills and spending them at Dunks

I feel you being trans am guy qualifies you to do that. Now me, being a camaro man, I'm a classy SOB so I always include some pube sprouts and a main vein. I find realism helps sell the weiner and lends credibility to the artist.

It is HERE. The wait is nearly over!!

I have spent the last 10 hours at car dealerships. I bought the first new vehicle I have ever purchased, an incredibly boring base model rav 4. My gosh it has fucking radar and it's a base model.

Tomorrow I am gone all day so maybe Monday I can unbox. But for now here it is in all the wizard glory. Now say what you will about Mr.Blaine but he is nothing if not thorough. Sneak peak of the foam. It is rock hard. This should be fun.

Now you know how I hid most of the fasteners on the inside. BTW- that isn't foam. That is PL-8X construction adhesive. I don't trust nails.

Thank goodness that's not the density of the entire foam inside.

I never said the foam was less dense. However, I did say there is an Atlas, 2 quarts of fluid, a shifter boot, shifters, spacer ring and assorted hardware in that little box with 6 cans of expanding foam. I don't think it is possible to not be very dense.

Holy shit that was not easy. I sure hope I didn't break the case getting that mother fucker open. The foam bonded to the entire sheet of plywood so it was holding tight even with all the 2x2s cut off. I had to delaminate the plywood layer by layer and eventually reached under with a drywall saw and cut the foam.
