Hi there, I bought a membership last week was wondering do I need to fill out anything for my box badge? :) It had me add address info...

LOL see a few posts up, bunch of **** hanging down from where box fits in garage, clock/sprinkler system controls, Ill move it when I get my new box with hutch :) 16oz, with my disease upper body strength is limited heh...
