Flon18 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 My apologise to all involved I have dropped the ball. The weather has gotten nice and I have lost all free time the last few weeks. I will finish the last two flys tonight and get them in the mail tomorrow. So they will arrive a few days late. Again sorry Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dezod 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2011 Today is the deadline for the swap. I have flies from everyone except for Flon18, sjo and Rich 5665 I heard from both Flon nad SJO and their flies are on their way. I hope nothing has happened to Rich as he is usually very prompt and involved. If I don't hear from Rich before the other 2 sets arrive I will consider him a no show. A number of you sent a dozen flies for the swap, we might just have 8 tyers, so I will return the extras that were sent for the dozen. I also want to thank everyone for the generous extras. I don't say too much during the swap because I don't want anyone to feel obligated to send extras, but they are always very much appreciated. I will keep everyone posted as the final sets of flies arrive. Thanks for your patience C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dezod 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2011 Alright everyone... The flies have left COLORADO :D :D . I tried to get them out both Thursday and Friday, but neither day I got out of work early enough to make it to the post office before it closed, so I had to mail them today. As an FYI for future swaps that you participate in, and I believe this has been brought up on the forum recently, but the price of postage has gone up from $1.53 to $1.71. It was no big deal for those of you who still sent postage at the old rate, but in the future you should know that you just can't put 4 stamps on anymore. Also there were many extra flies from a few people sending a dozen instead of the required 9 that I decided to split them up. I tossed an extra 2 flies into each of your tins randomly. Not everyone toe tagged, including me (I rarely do when I SM) but the parachute ant is mine, the para coachman is from Avril, and the para mosquitos are from Flon18. Thanks everyone for participating and for your patience. I also want to thank everyone who sent extras they are never necessary, but always much appreciated. Please let me know as the flies land back on your end, I like to keep track of who has received their flies back I look forward to swapping with all you guys and gals again C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
