Little blast from the past

Was looking through old photos. Thought I posted the new mailbox I added shortly after I moved in, but I guess I didn't. Funny thing is it got knocked over by a flying pumpkin shortly after I installed it, and I had to dig out the post hole, fashion a new redwood post and pour concrete around to secure it. Luckily the pumpkin just destroyed the metal mount and didn't damage the mailbox too much.
In any case, here's da bus:

Maybe I shouldn't have replaced the old one?
