There
Where? Here! And there! And everywhere!
Soā¦ if you arenāt a child or a human, what are you?
Your voice overs are still all I really need in life, whatever you may be.

Rest assured that Iām not a dirty penguin.
OK, wonderful people, here it comes! But first ā¦ the reason itās been postponed:
I didnāt go out of town, didnāt go on vacation. But I donāt own any device with which I can make photographs and post them. Therefore, I must rely on the kindness and time allowances of three friends who have that capability.
Those three friends all went out of town at the same time. Two together, one separately. The box came the day after they all left.
One returned yesterday, so I asked for photos to be taken and spent much of today trying to make sense of it all via cropping, etc. I apologize ahead of time for the lack of quality, but at least it will finally be out there for all to see, momentarily! (Long moment.)

All of it.
The small parts.
The big part (motor).
The instructions. Yep. Itās a Shark Rocket Deluxe Pro vacuum cleaner! (Individual pieces still wrapped in plastic.)
And speaking of āsharkā, one Woot monkey, shark version, which I gave the photographer for his grandkid as thanks for his help to get this done. Also, one bright, shiny new can of tuna, nestled happily next to a notecard on which is written ānow)ā.
Hmmmm ā¦ did I leave anything out? OH YEAH!!! A paperclip, large size, no ridges.
(Best photo of the bunch!) Tada!!
Now doesnāt this all just make your day?
PS: When I sent my address, I also made mention of the fact that I donāt have any way to photo & post things and must rely on the kindness of strangers friends and if there happened to be a camera on that desk of merriment from which all of our packages were filled that I would love for it to fall into said box with my name on it. I didnāt get a camera, I got a vacuum. Much better!
Thank you, @davejlives! I can and will definitely use this!
Much nicer box than I ever expected!
And to all a āGood Night!ā

Wow, that sucks!
(I was going to say it sucks in the best way but some might take issue with that assessment. That would be fair.)
But yay on the vacuum! And the paper clip. Iām sure you will cherish it forever.

(Maybe someone vacuumed it before wrapping it ā¦
