Coolness! FedEx just dropped of an unexpected package. Someone (haven’t figured out who..there was no notation on the packing slip) sent me a little something off my Amazon wish list. A Christmas present, I’m sure. What was it, you ask? A nice heavy-duty 3/4″ shackle (or clevis, I suppose) that will come in quite handy when used with my Hi-Lift jack….which is exactly why I added it to my wish list.

I’m sure that whoever (or is it ‘whomever’?) sent it will either out themselves in email to me or in the comments so I can thank them appropriately but in case theyre the shy kind and are going to just lurk, well, then I take this moment to say ‘thank you very much’. This will go in the little kit that I’m putting together to go with the jack so that when the need arises little ol’ me will have the resources to move far more weight and mass than I could without them. Mucho thanks!
