Thoughts and impressions if the new Micro/IBBB/Bawanna Bowie Good and bad.

Well that does make me feel slightly better. Anybody from Arkansas? Everything is legal there.

Sorry Bawanna. I sent it in the box it came in. The little square one. I just figured out how to do the "Click and ship" thing so I dont have to go to the post office. Much easier. The triangles dont fit in my mailbox.... Bing!!! I need a bigger mailbox!

Son you better take a refresher course in this click and ship mail stuff. Your knife is in town at the post office. You shorted the guvna 1.20 cents and sadly there weren't nobody home to pay the piper. My real wife, not to be confused with any of my cyber wives said she'll pick it up tomorrow. That's ok, I'll have it to get started on tomorrow when I get home. Then another coming in on Saturday I hope.
Close but no cigar my friend. At least it made it to town and that's a good thing.
 
See thats why I go to the P.O. :D lol. Dont you worry, it will be there Saturday and it will come right to the door. Should be a fun box to open and no special instructions this time just rip into it.

Aww that's right I plumb forgot the last box you sent me told me how and where to start and step by step instructions. Course 50/50 chance and I started on the wrong end but I fingered it out before I got too far and spoiled the surprise.

I'd be a lying cur dog if I said I wasn't looking forward to that package. If I call in sick tomorrow does the day still count?
 
Dangit all! Back to shipping skool! I owe ya bigtime my friend! I Thor we had reciprocity laws with the govner of WA? At just aint right! Man im so sorry. Hope it didnt put ya out. They must have special size boxes in Reno? I even measured the box? Im gonna call my sister and complain! She works for the post office! Really sorry tho. Ill look online and see if they have a "click n b*tch" button.

Son, Love means never having to say your sorry. Remember that. And friends don't let friends drive Dodges, and a couple others.

Ain't no big deal at all. Right there in town, it's a pain for me since the parking lot is so small but my wife goes to town nearly every day and it's right on the way to every where so don't give it a thought. I was looking forward to thinking and planning my attack but I can do that tomorrow right before I attack.

I don't think WA has recipriousity with nobody, nobody likes us, least ways on our wet side of the mountains and we can't spell it neither apparently.

We'll get it tomorrow and the world will keep on turning.
 
The only reason I tried it is cause it is a pain for me to get to the post office. By the time I get off work and in town the PO is closed. The only time I can send anything is Sat morn or take off lunch and do it. Skipping lunch is never good for me. Especially just before a company meeting. Customer is always wrong! They all think im borderlined serial killer freak anyway about to crack! Acid casualty?...maybe? Anyway thats why I dont go to the post office instead of lunch:D Long as I can eat im happy! Oh. I dont drive Dodges an I hate Japanese cars! My wife says its almost dinnertime? Recon shes got me figured out?
Shes cookin for the dogs now. Soon as they are done maybe I can get to my bowl.

"Toyota Camry beats Ford F-150 as most 'American made'" By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY

"...the Toyota Camry is the most American of all cars -- more U.S. sourced parts, U.S. production and U.S. sales"

On the Top 10 list of "Most American Vehicles", five out of ten are from Toyota or Honda (made in USA).

Not quite a Camry... this one is actually made in Japan. :cool:

Sorry for the detour...This space reserved for My Bowies last task before checkering.

Speaking of checkering I've got the first pass on both sides of our Bowie. Usually takes 3 passes, sometime more depending how aggressive I am. So far the patient is resting comfortably and the operation is going well. Funny thing it looks exactly like mine? Go figure.

One the click and bi!tch deal. My wife and the lady at our post office says that's a if it fits it ships box, so it's a flat rate. I asked if it's still the case if the box is reused and they said yes so it goes first class. If you just considered it a box and went by weight, that's where you derailed. Wrap the box in brown paper or something and then anything goes.
She said it would probably be cheaper actually to cover the box and go regular mail.

Any how I think we're well on track to have it headed back to Texas on Monday provided the creek don't rise or a plague of locust etc.

I'll post some live action photo's tomorrow. I gotta work on fishing lures for a little bit to keep that job.
 
You checker fishing lures? Cool! Man you do it all! If the patient wiggles too much you know what to do! Pin her down with your Bowie till she stops!
I knew it was a stuff whatever you can in the box and pay flat rate but the box sizes they mentioned online did not match what I had so I picked the closest size. Heck with that biz! Ill just bring it in next time. PO cant be messin around with my steel like that. Glad you got it. Take your time Bawanna. My wife will probably be at the mailbox for the next few weeks waiting on that Katana to slice me up anyway.
 
Me and the wife assemble lures for Dick Nite, have for many years. She's now working in his shop too but we still assemble here at home.
 
A couple more pics before she was sent off to the master checkererer! I had an old tree full of bees that had to be removed because of some construction and turned out the bees decided to fly the coupe early. I wanted to see if they left anything useful behind and they did. No honey but a lot of beeswax! Time to break out the Micro Bawanna Bowie! I dug out enough of this wax to fill the bottom shelf of the fridge! Made a waxy mess of my pretty Bowie but when i wiped it clean it looked even better than when I started!

A little bees wax mixed with mineral oil and set atop the woodburning stove made for some good handle treatment. I suppose it would probably protect the metal pretty well also. Its really thick and waxy so the mineral oil mix helps spread it around.

Wow acquiring that much beeswax and you didn't have to bother the bees either. Win-win. Beeswax is great for so many things. awesome

Gotta disagree with you on that one. My Toyota has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Had American and German ones before it and they all broke down more than this one.
