I guess those guys further west go to bed too early and don't get up early enough.

On to Ohio...

Woo Hoo. After getting delayed by the lovely 15.5" blanket of heavy wet snow we got yesterday the mailman made it through today with a box of goodies. Lucky me since the post office is closed tomorrow I get to look at these blanks all weekend to make my decision. I will try to post pics tomorrow sometime with what I am taking and what I am putting back.

drum roll........................

 

[woodwzrd]

Well the first pic is what was in the box when it got here
the second pic is what I am keeping
and the last two pics are what I am sending. The top blank is one of my cut cholla cactus in Alumilite blanks the middle one is spalted walnut in PR and the bottom blank is mini spruce pine cones in PR. These blanks were all cast under 80# of pressure.

I will have a tracking number up soon and it will be on its way East to VA tomorrow.

Looks like the box arrived at its next location today. Many of you know that I will be heading out of the US for a great reason. With that will come a slight change to our activity. I have cleared with those who are left. Here is how the rest of the course will go.
I will post the route with the names of who it will go to next. Please do your best to get the box moving when you receive it. 3 days is ideal. Do your best to the get the address of the person following you in order to get it moving again.

Thank you for your understanding of the change up.
Here is the route after Harley 2001 gets it.

[triw51]

I received the box and can someone help me? There is a set of cast blanks looks like abalone but I can not find what pen it fits. Thank you I think some of the labels fell off.

 

[healeydays]

So has the package hit the road back to Texas yet?

I hadn't seen any pictures or tracking info...

Is being picked up today

Tracking number 9405 5036 9930 0442 3249 61

 

[triw51]

Here are pictures of what I received, what I tool and what I sent on. Sorry it took so long to post pictures still having problems getting my pictures to load. I think it is operator error

 

[qballizhere]

Sorry i missed your post about the abalone blanks. The single barrel is for zen and the set is for empress or spring blossom.

 

[truckfixr]

I should have the box by the 31st according to the tracking info. I just need Steve's address so I can send it on the next leg of it's journey.

 

[healeydays]

So where's the box and what goodies are still in it?

Enquiring minds want to know...

 

[truckfixr]

The package arrived Saturday. I'll post pics later on today. I still dont have an address to send it to.

 

[truckfixr]

I've been unable to contact Steve by PM or phone, so I sent a PM to John U requesting his shipping address.

 

[Buzzzz4]

Sounds like a good plan. I can work something out with him at the end if he gets bypassed.

 

[truckfixr]

I'll be sending the package to John U tomorrow. I'll post the tracking information tomorrow evening.

Simply beautiful...

 

[triw51]

Just some Texas Thistle flowers in clear PR.

I like the way the thistle radiates really beatiful

 

[Buzzzz4]

Cant wait to see the pen from that one. Don't think it will make it to me though.

 

[truckfixr]

I can see that one makes it to you

 

[truckfixr]

The package is heading North again. I just dropped it off at the post office during my lunch hour.

Wow I checked the progress of the box and wow there is some cool stuff, those feathers are awesome, too bad it can't make it back to south Texas again.
