Let's see...according to my delivery tracker, I have things on the way that will crush my dreams and cause pain in my life. 
But seriously, here's what's being delivered...
Today, PCB's for the Calliope and Isotope from AionFX will be delivered along with a few parts from Mouser. All the other parts needed arrived yesterday so I'll be able to get going on those two probably over the weekend. (Oh shit...nevermind. Still waiting on enclosures. Will get those Monday) While I already have an IVP derived build, I wanted an IVP that is closer to the original. The other one is a derivative of a Harmonic Perculator that has me curious on how different it'll sound compared to the one I have. I like this combo (Harmonic Perculator into an IVP) so knowing how different builds work together is a nice little study.
I also ordered a Lectric-FX DisDis which is a MXR Distortion II (parts aren't far behind). Billy Corgin talked about this one in a recent video. Apparently he runs one of these into a Big Muff. Has me curious. The Resonance knob on this one is interesting.
I also ordered a Madbeans Cliffhanger which is a Hermida Dover Drive. This one seems interesting to me. It's said to resemble a BK Butler (which I have a derivative of as well) but the circuit is more like a Fuzz Face-like circuit into a Zendrive. Regardless, it kind of interested me so figure I'd build one.
Lastly, I have a batch of Mojito Deluxe's on the way. Parts are trickling in. I sold a one-off on Reverb and got a good review. Had another person inquire on whether I had more on the way. So..figure I'd build a small batch of 5 to put on there. Apparently, the Honey Beast derivatives are sought after here and there.

I'm currently having some unwelcome suspense over a tayda DHL delivery myself.

Set of 25 blank CDs showed up today, the first time I've bought some in probably a decade and a half. Burning some CDs for the drive into work because there's a 5 minute stretch on the highway (of a maybe 25 minute drive) that my phone doesn't have good enough service to stream

Ahhhhh dhl and usps at the same time. Nothing too exciting in the pink bag, the other box however had my tubes n sockets for the black eye and the "obviously compensating for something" knobs.

Woohoo! This came today...I was short a SPST and @thewintersoldier uses some NICE packing material....Ge transistors, GOTA plectrums, and a ball silver enclosure! 
Thank you sir.

Just burned 3 Badbadnotgood Albums (III, IV, Sour Soul Instrumentals) and Surprise Chef's All News is Good News. Gonna do some Kikagaku Moyo albums eventually but those 4 will hold me over while I figure out more. My taste in music before 9AM is pretty narrow

Another package today that I was not expecting to see for a few weeks, as I placed this Tayda order exactly a week ago with the cheapest shipping option. I think this is a record for shipping time! And it had a custom drill job.
I got enclosures, knobs and a bunch of not pictured components. At my current build rate, I should be good until next summer.

Cheapest option used to take 2 weeks for me, and since they added the warning it was over 2 months. Not sure if the cheapest option changed services, or if shipping is just longer in general now but yeah

Yeah I'm not trying to wait 2 months for some stuff even if it'll be longer than 2 months for me to build it
