  @Phil - that was awesome! Thanks for the chuckle!
  
  @Ken - you need to take some stuff out too, to make room.

  It's too bad OldBitCollector isn't in this one. It just won't be the same without him.

  [h=2]I participated in the original Fellowship Of The Traveling Parts Box @ Savage///Circuits, it was lots fun trading parts in the box, and following the movement of the box back and forth across the USA. [/h]

  Well, just loaded an already-stuffed box of GOOD STUFF and gave it back to Chris. I told him he better dispatch it to an electronic hobbyist HOARDER. Initially he was going to send it to Phil, and I thought that he'd be adding more things to an already full box.
  
  So, not to label the first recipient as a hoarder, but you best be prepared to take some goodies.

  Wait. I think Ken just called me a Hoarder! Oh, maybe that was picking fun at Chris.
  
  Carry on.

  I believe you may have been taken care of already. I am guessing your username there isn't the same as here.
• NWCCTV Posts: 3,629

  2012-09-12 11:40 edited 2012-09-12 11:40

  You are correct. I use different usernames to make it easier to decipher on different forums. Thanks Chris.
  
  Edit" When will the box first ship out?

  Jen,
  
  I will stop by your office on the 18th when I am in the Rocklin office. Thanks for the donations.
  
  And to everyone else...after Jen adds her goodies the box is being shipped to the first person on the list (once revised for address continuity) from Parallax that day (September 18, 2012).

  Okay, so the package ships out tomorrow to start its journey and we have a good list, however there are three members who are still pending because they have not responded to their private messages sent out when they registered. FYI.

  Is the zipper closed on the travelling pants or can folks still be added to the back end of the loop?
• zappman Posts: 418

  2012-09-18 00:32 edited 2012-09-18 00:32

  Yes, you can still be added to list for the Traveling Box.

  The package is enroute! If you're on the list, keep your eye on your Private Message Inbox on Savage///Circuits. If you're not on the list we may be doing this quarterly as long as interest holds out. There are two people who signed up but did not follow up despite several messages reminding them. I will have to decline those requests this time around. There is a travel map posted in the TFOTTPB forum for participants.

  Just a heads-up...we're currently looking to see who from the existing participants from the Q4- 2012 Parts Box will be joining us for the Q2 - 2013 Parts Box. So if you haven't logged into The Fellowship of the Travelling Parts Box forum on Savage///Circuits lately, please do so and reply to the thread. Once we're closer to that we'll start accepting new participants from active Savage///Circuits members.

  The Q4 one has not completed yet. Any idea when it will be "traveling" again?
• SavageCircuits Posts: 271

  2013-03-05 13:49 edited 2013-03-05 13:49

  The box has been "hung-up" for a bit, but based on where it is I expect it will be completed in time to send the next one out for Q2 - 2013. I'm crossing my fingers.
  
  As a note, it's pretty impressive that the current ox has travelled all around the United States and has been very successful for the most part.

  Yeah, and I apologize. We're working to get it moving again.

  Hey, Not a problem. I understand some times you have no control over this. I am next to last on the list and can't wait to see what is in it!!!!

  'Sorry guys, my bad. The box is here, but I've had matters come up that have diverted my attention from work and other fun stuff. I promise, the box will get moving again soon -- probably as a bigger box.
  
  One suggestion: I think the same box should make a second circuit in order to spread the joy of the latter contributors. This time, take a little from the box, but don't add anything. By the time it returns to Chris again, it should be empty.

  No problem, you've got a few days. I'll be knocking on your door Saturday afternoon, dressed in black, wearing sunglasses.
