Fifth Annual Spring Forward Box Pass

[Mikem]

Hopefully the way I have scheduled the boxes (ref: chart) that should never happen. With everyone keeping the box six days plus transit time there "should" be at least nine weeks before you see the next box. If it happens we will work something out (as you suggested, probably more time with the second box). As an example; you are #3 on the West list and #10 on the East list. The only way you could end up with "both" boxes is that #2 held the West box for over nine weeks. The same scenerio should apply to everyone else's schedule.

I don't know looks like that guy Mike Miller will end up with the box about the same time toward the end of the pass. :lol!: :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Hot Dog! Almost here! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Can't wait to dig into those boxes! Going to be a great spring here in the Great Plains! :lol: :lol:

Thanks again, Mike, for putting it all together! Great scheduling work too! Two boxes cross country that should never meet! :cheers: Cool Beans!

Ahhhhh, now I see. Taking a better look at the chart (nice chart there, Mike!), I see that the names don't occur on the same number at same time. Hmmmmmmm.......foiled again! Must - use - brain - before - typing . . . . Nah, that's no fun.

I don't know looks like that guy Mike Miller will end up with the box about the same time toward the end of the pass. :lol!: :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Ah-hah! That Mike guy, he's a crafty one. :lol:

Mike,

Though it's been said far better & more eloquently than I ever could: You're the man! Thanks again for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this for the members of this group...

Could there possibly be a better name for you than "The Coordinator" ? :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Best,
Dock

Thanks Mike!

Holy cow batman, I royally screwed up on the order of the pass and forgot through all of the excitement to include Justpipes in the order. I also added Tom Clemons in the order and he unfortunately is not participating this year. I will be sending out new mailing labels to correct my screw up. I really apologize for this. I thought that I was more organized than this. Here is the real order of the passes. Again I apologize to the group and especially Justpipes and thank Puff Daddy to bringing this to my attention.
