I see that the USPS Murphy Mule is as slooooow as ever!!

In yesterday, out today!

I'm assuming "Sooner Schooner" is Bill Edwards.

Aw shucks, I've been found out!

Have you seen the RR from Bill yet Dave??

In a week ago, out today. Been out of town, so a little slow on the posting and turnaround.

Dave

Robin flew in last night from Shirin and will fly out this morning to the Abbotts.

Round Robin #10 arrived today. Lots of great cards. We replaced seven. It'll be on its way to George tomorrow.

Received the package back from RR#10-1 today. We are way ahead of some of the other RR's and will have to wait for their cycle completion before we shuffle the members betweent them and start over. Thanks to all for your attentive participation, and look forward to RR#10-2.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wishes to join in to contact either myself, Mombo, or Dave H. to get in the next cycles of RR 9, 10, or 11.

We have lift off!!! RR 10-2 started in the mail today. The following are in this cycle: (not the mailing order)

Hi all -- RR was rec'd and has gone back in mail. Computer crashed earlier in week and had to buy new one. Just getting back on line.
Darlene

Received the robin on Friday. Went out in the mail to George on Saturday. Kept and replaced all the cards.

Tammy

TAMMY, there was one I wanted i there !!!! (LOL)

Just FYI to RR#10 members. I'm leaving on a trip this Thurs, 7/29 and will not return until ~ 8/5. Therefore email acknowledgement and restart of RR10-3 may be delayed until the end of that week.

Got the RR from Tammy Wednesday, nd will be back in town on Aug 4th and we can restart the Robins!!

The robin landed in Meeeechegan today but will be booted out and directed towards New York tomorrow.

Took and replaced eight (8) cards. :p

Dan

Received yesterday, sending on to JoAnn today.
Nothing out - nothing in.

If the moderator reads this please drop me from the round robin list. Thanks
Charles

Sorry that the latest robins haven't been good for you Charles. It sure is becoming pretty difficult to come up with new cards for these. I try to keep a record of what cards I've passed on to whom in order to avoid duplication if possible. There do seem to be some cards that just keep going around. When I get a robin that contains these I just yank them out and hope for some new participants to send them to!

I guess the more cards you collect the harder it gets to find anything new.

Charles

Sorry Charles that nothing was in there for you. Sometimes that happens to me as well. mos times I'm happy to get just one (or maybe two). Dave and I will honor your request and remove you from the rotation. Jump back in when you feel like it.

I like Sue's idea about keeping a record with respect what is sent on to folks in order to avoid duplication. I have done this to a certain extent, but need to do a better job.

Do you suspect a limit on the number of cards removed and replaced on the robin would help in some marginal way??

Dan

I have no idea in the hundreds, probally over a thousand pcs that I have, what I have or what I sent but I normally take most and put recent fresh ones that I've acquired into the robin. I even became a NW Lighthouse PC guy last year since we were looking for some people from that area. I circulated about 50 through the Robin as the order was shuffled, and don't remember seeing them the next round. I always enjoy seeing the pcs and will look a them a few weeks before they enter the collection. Good news for Mombo, I've got some interesting New England pcs I got in Watch Hill RI that I never saw before. So I got one for me and one for the Robin. I believe I'm the last before they return to you Sue, so I hope I got a few that you need?
I always enjoy receiving the pcs especially from those who take the extra step to find a little treasure to send. (that includes the in-the-envelope, and no-envelope pces too!) And most do!
Thanks to all, it's always nice to find a little pc amongst the bills and junk mail!
Bob

RR flew in Sat.and flew out today,Mon.Replaced 3
I haven't seen any of the ones I put in a second time,but it is getting harder to come up with new ones.
JoAnn

The Robin has arrived and will be making it's way home to George today. Didn't take anything out, but I will remain. That doesn't bother me, next time I may want all 10.

Joyce

RR 10-3 arrived back at "the nest" today. We will now await the conclusion of the other RR's before we do a reshuffle and restart over another cycle!! Hope everybody got some keepers, at least a few from each pass-thru.

RR10-4 will be delayed about a week due to my ailing father in FLA and the hurricanes. Leaving for FL ASAP and hopefully return next week!!. Sorry about the late start.

Update: I'm back after a very arduous 11 days in FL. Had to move my father into Assisted Living and then sell his house and everything else . Will restart the RR on Monday 10/11. Thanks for your patience!!

Hi George,
Welcome back. Who's in this exchange and what order,
thanks,
Bob (just back from MOAB - no LHs but some great natural sites :p , canyons, and Arches)

Robin is here, and leaving today to Bob Scroope, then Lorie Roe, John Young and Eileen Dunlap. Didn't remove anything this time, but will stay in the exchange.

Joyce

Sorry I haven't been very active lately, but had to make another emergency trip to Fl again this last week. My father's cancer has moved into his brain and he only has "weeks" left according to the experts. I'm not ignoring everyone or the Forums, just have had a lot to do lately.

Robin in today, out tomorrow to Lorie!
Bob

Sorry that your father is so bad George. Don't worry about us or postcards. We'll look forward to hearing more from you as time permits.

I'm glad to see this robin is moving along. I'll be on the lookout for it to land in UT this week.

So sorry to read about your dad George. I know what you're going through.

My father passed early this morning. We will be in St. Pete Fl for about the next week.

George,
Please accept our prayers and sympathy on the passing of your father. He is surely at peace now.

God Bless you and your family George during these difficult times.
Bob

George,

You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.

Dave

I received the RR from Bob yesterday. I'll have it back in the mail today to John Young.

George...I'm so sorry to read of the passing of your father. Please know you have a lot of forum friends that will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Just FYI, I'm back from FL.

The robin is on its way to NC. A real nice selection of cards from which to choose! I hope I was able to replace some nice ones for Eileen's collection.

It's Dec already and the RR has not yet arrived. Here we go again, the USPS is probably the culprit. The RR could probably have been walked here to Murphy already. As far as I'm concerned the USPS is a necessry evil, but i would sure like to see a transponder invented to move postal articles thru the electronic plasma so they (USPS) can be completely eliminated!!!!

George, remember the old Circuit Riding preachers? I sometimes wonder if you have a circuit riding mailperson. Murphy one day, then another the next, and then another before returning to Murphy in two weeks or so. . . . . .

It's Here!!! Waiting for the next shuffle for RR10-5 to start. It's hard to believe that we have completed 4 circuits already!!
