Hey, what kind of candy is that?

had an interesting package to deal with today. We had a box returned to us as they could not deliver it.

We open it up and are really stumped, this isn't looking right at all. Check the shipping label, hmm, while it says it is from Aloft, the label is not one of ours, the box is not one of ours and the contents sure are not ours.

Pretty quick we are thinking this looks bad.. bundles tightly wrapped in about a mile of cling wrap. Unwrapped the first one:

The second one was a bunch of pot.

Seems whoever shipped it used our name just incase the box should be inspected during delivery.

Anyhow, someone is out a couple of thousand in drugs and our local cops have some bags to play with.

But where is the candy?
 
mushrooms ? what kind ? Check with Lucrezia Borgia (grin)

About the other vegetables, someone someday may come to do an in person pick up (God forbid ).
In your case , I would delete this thread and the pics.
 
Ahh, not too worried about it. Was about $2,000 of product and the cops said it would have been a misdemeanor around here. Other states it would be a felony.
 
They look like Chinese dried mushrooms - very common here - or are they the "Shrooms" that Wayne told me about years ago.

I think I have led a sheltered life...

Doc
 
Yeah, these would be the druggy type.. The cops had some name for them..

p.s. No new drug shipment today.
 
Probably where it originated.

(See how I fit your name into the response..?)

If you play basketball. Don't take it in your luggage to Russia.

I thought it looked like cat treats, kinda is I guess, maybe cat nip.

Don't use the stuff and don't care if you do, and find many on it less obnoxious than drinkers.

I get my high from servo failures, motorcycles and fly fishing. Was not blessed with an over abundance of brain cells so try to keep what butterate dope and testers glue did not destroy, yeah I'm old.

Keil Kraft Deezil fuel duz it for me...or maybe used to when I was a flipper - maybe thats why I used to enjoy it so much - the modelling I mean, not the diesel fuel. If you really want to rock, or at least end up with no choice as you'll fall over, bung in some amyl nitrate...Then play Black Sabbath at 78 RPM and YOU WILL SEE GOD!

Seriously though, when I was a wee laddie a lot of people used to sniff model engine Diesel fuel for the ether. I'm happy to say I was not one of them. That time my highs came from a pint of Theakston's Old Peculiar, or failing that a pint of Jennings of Cockermouth Bitter. At 10% few can walk in a straight line after two of those, but it was hellish good fun trying!

Never did do any drugs bar the odd and infrequent hit of Wacky baccy, though not for lack of opportunity. Plenty of hard stuff around when I was a nipper.

Now? Can't do the ale any more, so my highs come from finding new ways to do old stuff.

Da Dont Do Drugs Doc.

Doc, I don't even drink, but lots of friends do.
I come from a family of alcoholics, and am a type A assertive person, so I extrapolated what the end result was.

Buddies say. You'd be fun plowed, I said no, going straight to jail.

Most alcoholics I have observed are above average intelligence. Probably why they drink to cloud out all the bafoonery that is going on in front of them, JMO, but for the grace of God go I.

Really enjoying the site, great bunch.

Merry Christmas

Hey Stitch - actually it wasn't DRINKING Diesel fuel that I was commenting on - rather inhaling the intoxicating aroma of ether and Amyl Nitrate. People really used to sniff the stuff. But, like Alcohol, its actually possible enjoy the aroma as part of an overall model flying experience, just like a good dinner, but best leave it at that.

Dayum...when I think back...

As Robert Plant would say: In the days of my youth, I used to be a rambunctious, rugby playing, pint gargling, prank originating hooligan. I was famous for it. Especially when I was in school, during my higher teens and lower 20's. We'd go out in the evenings or at weekends and train like demons, then go to the pub at nights and undo any good we'd done ourselves, but somehow it all semed to work, and it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Hell, I could do it and get away with it, but now? Nah - If I eat a flambé dish I can feel it the next day!

Oh well...actually I'm quietly enjoying slipping into the guise of being a doddery old phart...But don't let it fool ya!

Cheers,

Say NO to Eggnog! - Doc.

Doc, I got that just talking about being anesthetized in general. When you say diesel must be model fuel, as diesel here is not very toxic. Now the term amyl nitrate, again are we talking something different? I mentioned buterate dope which is hot fuel proof, and as I recall, nitrate is not.

I need a lesson, like here bum is someone who won't work, across the pond is you butt.
And you are right, how did we survive our youth???


I am on a auto forum with lots of posts in UK and such, all brothers basically just different speach.

Hey Larry, Amyl nitrate is the primary diesel ignition improver added to model diesel fuel: Caster or synthetic oil 10%, ether 30%, paraffin (Kerosene) 60% - with a bit nipped off for 1.5% Amyl nitrate (or nitrite)

Butyrate is the modern, slightly safer and sometimes (depends on the nitro level) fuelproof version of cellulose dope - though I don't think it works as well. I have made old fashioned dope out of old movie tapes (Cellulose nitrate) dissolved in amyl acetate. Once you get it right it makes great shrinking dope but it looks a bit grey unless well thinned due to the film developer etc.

And...You need to be careful messing about with Cellulose nitrate as technically its a mild form of gun cotton...kind of like a tamer version of TNT.

Honey...can you pass me the...Kaboom!

Actually I'm worse than those Blimey Brits wot lives in Blighty, like 'cos I'm a Brit wot lives in Tai-bloody-wan!

Cheers,

Doc
 
Rock Candy baby! Ah, the smell of KK diesel in the green cans, wow that takes me back. Good old AM’s and PAW’s in control liners, and my first single channel, rudder only models. They used to run Diesel engines in the local tiny model shop with the place filled up with exhaust fumes! Elfin safety, what’s that?
 
Running model diesel engines in tiny shoppes? We used to DREAM of running diesel engines in tiny shoppes!

We used to live in t'exhaust pipe of a giant Bucyrus crane, biggest one in t'north...every day we'd get up before we went to sleep, and breathe in t'exhaust fooms like it were mountain air...Tell that to the kids of today and they don't believe ya.
