Refuge Secret Santa - 2024: See you in November!

With USPS I had a package that was coming to me, in Toledo, do the following:

From Toledo to Pontiac, to Detroit, to Toledo, to Pontiac, to Detroit, to Pontiac, to Detroit, to Pontiac, to Detroit, to Toledo, out for delivery.

Thats gotta be a terrible waste of time/money.

Yeah. This had to just be a mistake of it getting on a truck it wasn’t supposed to. Updates went “Processing at destination” to “Arrived at location” (90 miles away).


@mystic get in here and make it all make sense!

Watching it go back and forth daily, was pretty interesting. Annoying, but interesting. Like it got stuck on a loop.

The tracking barcode had to be wrong and it kept circling back to where it wasn’t supposed to go until someone finally blacked out the barcode and got it headed in the right direction.

Welp, another year, another incredible haul.

A signed Crest Foods Bedlam pic by the Boz himself (I have to know how you got this), as well as an excellent pickup for obscure former stars. A great headcover and towel (was this a Winston Collection pickup? Who could say). Some light evangelism material from YOTB and Fresh Coast Flock. And an Inverness ball marker to add to my bag of stolen valor (below are all gifts from places my friends go and think I would like something even though I’ve never stepped foot on the property).

Last but not least, the visor fits my size 8 head. Well done @meathaus well. Done.

Hell yeah glad they all hit the mark! I scoured eBay for some Brian bosworth stuff and that was the best one I found I thought. Glad the visor fits, and a little light evangelism is always a good thing!

As for the Shane Churla card I’ve got a soft spot for enforcers so that one seemed like an obscure one that a Dallas fan would like and came from my personal collection.

I had a Mike Modano autographed card and puck too but I decided I didn’t want to give that up!

Are you a card collector @meathaus? We might have to sidebar as I’ve recently gotten back into the hobby in a big way the last few years.

I’ve dabbled in some baseball cards more recently but most of my collection is from years ago. The card scene so weird now with buying into breaks now and what not.

My Secret Santa killed it.

The personalized Srixons are fantastic. Caleb was amazed and now thinks he is famous.

Here’s the photo they were based on:

The Supper Club roost hat is terrific as well.

Thanks @mikedabomb . Such a great and thoughtful gift. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

(UPS My Choice ratted you out. :wink:)

Gift has been mailed. Now I hope my gift-buying aim is better than Red Leader’s was.

I have a Pirateship package on the way and an email from Elfster confirming it’s from my SS :eyes:

To my giftee…I picked up part of your gift today and will get everything shipped out next week. Hopefully I can get it there before Christmas but wanted to wait until I could get something from a special course today
