• ...to myself 
  
  Cats and engine shown for scale   
  
  And NO I am not waiting till Christmas to open. It's already been a LONG wait and fingers are crossed everything is safe inside... Off to find a knife...

• Exactly how I plan to be buried... Entombed perfectly in my collection of bubble wrap and peanuts that will probably be in my basement till I'm dead because I'm no good at selling off engines

  Haha I could have drug it out (that looks weird typed out, but that's how everyone around here says it instead of dragged...), but the photos were posted "live" as I was un-packing. Now it's all un-packed and ready for a half-way decent picture...

  Just finished un-packing all the small parts and I have two kids running around popping bubble wrap, so I will get the picture up soon
