Did you ever feel like like having a winning Kentucky derby ticket?
Well, that's just how I do today!
But what if you've also got two runners-up?
Last monday Jean-Marc
Âchillepattada
informed me he had a parcel for me he would wait until wednesday to post.
I love surprises, mind you, but never would have expected to get it that quick when the postman rang at 9 1/2 am (GMT +1) and handed me a puffed enveloppe after fighting successfully with my lift doors.
Opening it took seconds (the parcel, not the lift doors) and I discovered a pair of amazing looking Case swell center whittlers, a pattern quite new to me.
Investigation also disclosed later a dollar, whose origin situated around 49°14′58″ North/123°07′09″ West, where sits Vancouver...
So I can say : a big thank you Charlie!
The case was not closed.
Judging that after all the postman could handle it, JM loaded the parcel with a tube enclosing a Bunny knife, that I would give to my Grandson (hopefully an incentive for him to have better school performances... )
A big thank you JM!
Let's have a look!
Those Whittlers are no small beer :
1993' Abalone salesman sample
and 2003' numbered with engraved bolsters
