I am now the proud owner of a 1/1 C&D Kryten's Krumble Kake.

I’m very glad the package arrived in time for Christmas and even happier it was so well received. It was a fun PMSS gift to put together. I’m glad you made enough posts in the forum to go through and made it possible to come up with finding things that might have some meaning to you; once the going through time theme emerged, everything came together nicely.

For the curious, here are shots of the Kryten’s Krumble Kake label from left to right:

We’re getting ready to visit my brother in Manhattan, but when I get back, I’ll open Dan’s present and post pics.

Merry Christmas!

Som Besths!

My Santa did not sign his name, but there were clues...
Package was from DCR Enterprises and was gun themed... so Im guessing @dcrguns is my super santa!

Brother, it's already loaded!

I hope you enjoy your Christmas morning and many blessings to you and yours. Sorry I’m just now replying, I’ve been a little busy this week. Just FYI, the bottom of the little screwdriver makes a nice tamper too!

Vegas Baby!!!
My father had a Maverick. I am not a fan of using the name for a small pickup.

My parents owned a 73 Maverick. First new car they ever owned (only know it was a 73 because I was 10). We (my parents and two brothers aged 12 and 14) spent that summer driving from Las Vegas all throughout the Southwest and up to Yellowstone.

Three months on the road where we camped, fished, explored and toured. Just an amazing road trip in a cramped car with a roof rack and stuffed trunk.

It truly was so imprinted in my heart and soul that I have zero desire to travel abroad or to the east. I continue to explore the southwest.

Weird end of that vehicle, on New Years Eve of 73 my dad had just unloaded the car with his bandmates since they were playing at a nightclub for the celebration and a drunk driver slammed into the rear of the car demolishing it.

The car only made it 7 months. The memories last forever.

I saw a Maverick Pickup truck and felt repulsed they tarnished that glorious name.

My dumbass decided to speed down a hill while it was raining. On the turn, the rear end spun out and ended up going backwards into a tree. Totalled it, but no injuries.

In case anyone is wondering, Red Dwarf is one of the best sci-fi series ever. British humor.

Mikvah Queen! I'm still laughing a bit over that!
I’m still laughing an hour on, and pondering how I can process some homegrown in a way that merits that blend name

Also @Andre_T micky is one of my favourite smokes. Simon the condor lover (suddenly seems a bit perverse to write his name like that), has suggested to mix it 50:50 with some rope tobacco, so good.

My sister had a ‘72 maverick with 3 on the tree! I drove it a lot through high school, fond memories. 😎
