OK the box went out today.

Thanks for letting me play!

FYI I'm not sure of the exact date of purchase but that massive RYJ I put in has at least two years of age on it.

Got the Brobdingnagian (look it up) package today.  Good grief guys, can we please keep in mind when choosing containers for passes that the USPS charges more to ship packages with one dimension over 12"?  It's not a big deal on short legs like between me and Barry, but it gets noticeable when you start shipping longer distances.  I'd repackage this one, but George's wife is probably screaming about her missing Rubbermaid container.  :shades:

Enough bitching and moaning. :biggrin:  I'll do my best to get it turned around tonight.  If not, it will fly Saturday.

That rubbermaid box was only about 1-1/2" too big for the USPS medium flat rate box, and I was wanting it out the door...

No worries, Brother!  I was mostly just "stirring the pudding" and wanted to use that Gulliverian term.  Takes and puts are submitted.  Let me know if they are okay.

Didn't get by the PO today.  I'll ship it tomorrow and post the tracking number.

The pass is on its way and has been transitioned to Barry (benchjockey).  It should be there Monday.  I nabbed one of those nifty sizing cards and tossed in a JetLite in case someone needed one.

There should be enough sizing cards for everyone I hope I added enough. They are pretty handy  :?:

 I see 3 here now. To make sure George gets one I'll pass them on.

I got a ruler and a similar, albeit ragged and worn chart on my desk at home.  I took the one from the pass to work for those midday Monster urges.

Wow this pass moved very quickly, almost done.  @John, smoke that right coast sitting down and not driving, it requires requires some relights as its a massive triangle size.
@Kent, I picked up one of those charts, very handy, thanks

So I got home not sure what to expect.  This is a bit overwhelming.  Puts and Takes are in.  Hope the puts are up to par for what I relieved from the box.  I'll transition with a tracking number ASAP.

The package is on its way.  Should be in Warson Wood, MO on someone's doorstep come Tuesday afternoon.  Thanks for putting together the pass and letting me in on the fun!

I'd like to thank everyone for participating in my first pass.  I saw it on John's doorstep a bit ago (at the other end of my street), so I'm going to call this one just about finished!  That was FAST!  I think I left feedback for everyone - but if I missed you, please let me know.  I apologize for the container size - I have buddy who owns a UPS store and my view of what shipping 'really' costs is a bit skewed.  The (failed) plan was for that tupperware container to fit in a medium USPS flat rate box, but I missed it by about 1.5" on the long end.  I'll shop for a new container before I host another pass.  The only other things I pass (they call it a swap) are fishing flies, and I can sometimes get 100 or more in an Altoids tin...
