I found the above in the main forum - that is from Fatman - he's been having issues w/ his health.
Any one have a problem w/ moving him down the box swap list for right now?
If we do, that would make Scottyc next......
UG
Hey guys out of the hospital finally!!!!!!! No results on some of the tests but hoping I don't have to go back in. Uncle Grump address is on the way.
Fatman

I may have a flat rate mailer box, might help cut the cost down. I'll find out
Ok gang waiting for my SIL to pick me up to go pick up the box at the post office. I'm holding the box until Saturday.
Here's why:
I went through the list of folks in the swap and there's two right now that haven't logged in since Feb and one in early March. I have sent PM's to everyone below me on the list, and if by Saturday I haven't heard back from them I am removing them from the list and changing it to show the new order, it's not fair to the guys who bust their butts getting stuff together to have someone not even keep track of the thread they signed up for. If anyone has a problem with this let me know and we'll discuss by PM or by phone.
Once I go through the box I am going to switch everything back into a flat rate box, I've heard it's running $12+ and that's just to much when there's a flat rate box rate, yeah it takes maybe a few extra days but it saves everyone money, and if it starts to get heavy it won't matter with the flat rate.
Fatman
I've gone through the box and there's lot's of goodies in it!!!!!!!!!!!
I took out:
Some Crappie Stingers and Chenille

Fatman
Ok I haven't received answers from Scottyc, Yesruoc, Soswine or Scrapper. I am removing them from the list any problems with that PM me. I have a PM into Jigman for his address and the box will go out tommorrow. As of now the list will be:
Fatman>Jig Man
Jig Man>Bugman
This will finish Round 3.
After that you guys need to figure out what you want to do!!!!!!!!!!! Post up ideas here on the thread. I have a bunch of new tests scheuled so may be out the next round, but I'll let you know.
Fatman
Fatman,
I want it to keep goin and if you would like I would like to take it over. If others ok with that.
Thanks,
AC
Jigman
box is on it's way to you as of this morning.
AC - I'd love to see the box keep going but starting to run out of folks. I'll find out for sure this week if I'm still in or not but this might need to get posted in the regular jig tying section to see if more folks sign up. This new anti-seizure meds they put me on make me drowsy most of the time and I'm not even tying right now, they say it will get better.
After Jigman the box will go to Bugman - do you want him to send it to you and put a slight hold till more folks get signed up??
Ya that sounds good.
can I get in on this ??
Don't see why not, this will just add one more into the swap
Jig Man>Bugman
Bugman>chill49
Chill49>ACSooner
Chill send your mailing address by PM to Bugman and after you do that PM ACSooner for his address, and then send the box on to him. If you have any questions let me know.
Fatman
Ok just to update everyone I shipped the box to Jigman and they for some reason said he didn't live there and sent it back to me. Talked to the PO and they took it back after I showed them he lived there and he has received it. So we should be back on track again.
Fatman
The box is on the move again. I mailed the box out to Bugman today 6/21 with a whole bunch of new goodies inside. I had noticed that some people had dropped out this round and kind of figured out why after I received the box. Bugman will be very glad he is in this round and the rest of you should be trying to get in on this. My Dad and I found 50 items that we contributed to the box. There is everything from BnM reels, Mr. Crappie line and rattling floats, Southern Pro jigs, Crappie Thunder bodies, Berkley Trilene, to Bucktails, Hand tied jigs, Balsa floats, Estaz, Chenille, Jig heads, and Roadrunners. Box recipients will have a hard time trying to decide on only a few items.
The goodies I removed from the box include Pink/Black Chenille, 1" White Mister Twisters, 1/32 oz. painted jigheads, 1 pack silver spinners, and 1 pack gold spinners.
Just went through it this mornin and it is full of some good stuff,i snatched some Wally line,chenille and a spool of ironsilk and put some jigheads,mid south tubes,lake fork jigs and a Wally crank back in.As soon as i get an address from chill 49 it will be on the move.
Got the box today this is cool just like Xmas soon as I verify AC address the box will be on the move again
I took a couple bags of tubes a bucktail a deer belly 2 bags of horseheads 2 spools of thread 2 estaz and couple spools of 6# line
Don't mean to whizz on anybody's party here, but the original plan was to take 4 or 5 items and replace with equal or greater value items. When I received this box it was pretty slim pickings ( kind of hard to find anything I wanted). In an attempt to keep this box going for a while I placed 50 new items in this box with the idea that there would be some good stuff for the next 6 or 7 people at least. The way I see it Chillman has removed at least 12 items from this box. Hopefully he has replaced them with equal or greater items so the next person has something good to choose from. I really think that we should try to adhere to the original plan and only take 4 or 5 items per person. What does everybody else think about this?????????
Jig Man,
I agree with you, I feel it should be 4 to 5 items, and we replace with equal or greater value, I'm goin thru my stuff now seein what I have to put in it!! Hope to add to it also, and keep it going!! Also one reason I like the box is because Jig tying supplies or even soft plastic are not all the same across the country so I like to see what is offered at different places, and also see what works for ya'll in your states, that is one of the main reason I really enjoy the jig swaps also!!
Thanks,
AC
I am sorry no excuse for not reading the rules but I think I put in as much as I took out if not more. Will do better next time. AC box on the way
I'm gonna take the hit for this one guys!!!!!!! In an effort to keep the box going and the fact that I've been out on medical leave I sort of tried to help keep it moving along when Round 3 started and I didn't post the original rules listing. For those of us who have been in all the rounds we knew this, and when two new guys jumped in the mix I figured it would help add some variety of new stuff to the box. I should have posted it when we added the new guys.
I'm finally starting back to work on 5 Jul, so someone is going to need to take this over as I get back in the swing of things. I'm staying in for Round 4.
This is my final 2 cents, once AC gets the box I think he should hold it while a BRAND NEW sign up list is done. Give it 3 weeks posted here and also posted in the jig making/jig tying forum, telling them if they want in to post to the swap section to see if we can pick up some more people. When that's done the listing of who sends to who can be set up. Last thing, whoever takes this over i'd like to see everyone send their mailing address by PM to him/her, from other swaps I've been in for fly tying this really does help.
Post your thoughts folks, we're all in on this and whatever makes it easier and quicker for the box movement the better for all of us.
Fatman
Fatman,
I think that is a great idea, then it always some people to maybe get a stock pile of stuff that they wanna add to the box when they get it!! Also if there is no one against the idea, I will take charge of the box.....but if someone else wants to I'm game for that also. Also for who ever made those two sets of jigs w/ the cactus chenille....WOW those are great lookin!!!! I really like the paint jobs on alot of the just plan jigheads!!! Is it NightProwler that does the pill size jigheads? I want to get some of the those.....I got the box yesterday.
