Box of many NOS goodies!

HMMMMPH......!......leave it to guys!!!!

 

Hey! I'm a guy and I explained it for him!!!

 

I am SO EXCITED....we just got back from 3 days at the Cape (Cod) and there they were sitting on the front step.....DH wanted to know what they were and I had to tell him "Nothing he needs to know about ...... yet"........hope I don't break down and give him one and his brother one before his (MY DH's) birthday in 8 more days..........THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY AFTER SCANNING THIS SITE!!!!! Didn't want to read too closely ......I want to be surprised too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Good LORD they were HEAVY..(but I asked him to carry them in!!)

 

Ha!!!

 

WOW !

 

I'm jealous almost, but glad I don't have to deal with those pesky bouffant caps.(LOL) What does one do with a surplus bronze star, anyway?

 

I don't have any of those since I quit the B-52s long ago.
But I do have two 2 bronze stars.

 

I am SO d@amned sorry that I couldn't participate in this little adventure! Believe it or not, I could probably USE some of the things mentioned (NOT bouffant caps, though?????)! When my inheritance arrives, I am going to put a chunk away on the off chance that this is ever offered again. And at this point in my life a little surprise would be fun!!!!

 

Okay spring I have another question, what in the blue blazes is that square countermeasure thingamabob?????????

Also the check is in the mail to the above address.

 

Don't wanna make it too easy, and I hope others will work on it. All I'll do for now is give oblique clues, maybe. I don't think you'll know much about that particular item until you are sure the wheat's been separated from it. Thanks for sending $.

 

Looks like aluminum cornflakes to me. Radar-foiling chaff? Packaged to come outa some kindof cannon.....

 

Yes. Puffed out of aircraft when their instruments detect certain things. The smallest pieces should be short aluminum-coated fiberglass threads. Each tube would contain hundreds of thousands of them, packed in many little packets.

Then bottom line I should keep them contained unless of course I am threatened by a zombie apocalypse???

 

Or a cranky MiG.

Marine pilot, no question. The planes change, the names change, but the fighter jock attitude is eternal.

 

A friend came for dinner last night & she brought a SLAH wire basket votive holder that she had bought years ago but had never used. Her intention was to give it to me to sell on ebay because she has been trying to purge stuff out of her house. We figured out that she could cut off the 2 rings that held the votive candles& it would make a great piece to hold a couple of her many African Violet plants.

While the DH was out in the shop doing the cutting I started showing her the second box of goodies that arrived Friday afternoon. Not only did she leave with the basket that was suppose to stay with me, but inside the basket was some gloves, the set of mini screwdrivers, the pliers/knife tool set & the bundle of emery boards.

So much for that attempt to purge stuff out of her house.

 

Ha ha ha - good job bercrystal!

There is no way I am going to let her be the first one to get her house & garage purged out.
