6/9 UPDATE: Initial cards to Mombo are enroute with USPS.

Received the robin today, took & replaced 7 cards. It will be going out to Shirin tomorrow. I put the cards in a baggie due to the monsoon season! I told I.O. not to even put the envelope in our mailbox if it's still raining as it leaks so he offered to deliver it to the P.O.

(George, please correct your records as you had Shirin's old address on the mailing label. Thanks.)

Thanks Mombo. :p I was going thru some of my numerous PCE and RR mailing lists (which total about 13), and must havve copied his old address instead of his new one when making this one up.. Will correct.

George,

You might want to correct the gender also- he's a she.



Dennis

Thanks for adding that correction Dennis. I might be a junior version of my father but I'm not a Dennis Jr. I'm technically a Denise.

I KNEW that from previous PCE's and RR's and still made the most obvious error. I apologize SweetP, I guess fate just had me lined up for errors and they were all about you!!

No problem George. I'm sort of used to it? Before kindergarten many people confused me for a boy. I looked like my father and didn't have the long pretty hair many girls have. All it took was one comment from someone in the grocery store and my mom was off and running to get me a perm so I looked like a girl.

Received the cards today. Took and replaced 7 of the 10. I'll be sending it out to Randy tomorrow.

Sent out RR # 6 today.

Took/replaced 7, it's headed north to Wisconsin!

The Robin has arrived in its state home

It has come and gone with 4 taken/replaced. It will spend the 4th airborne on the way to Utah.

Larry

Larry, what am I missing with your comment above "in its state home." ???? Ich verstehe nicht.

Probably a reference to the fact that the robin is Wisconsin's state bird

Bonus points for Dave

I received the RR #6 from Larry today. I took out and replaced 4 cards. It is in the mail today to Joyce.

This RR seems to be moving along quite nicely.

Received the cards for Lorie Roe, took out and replaced 4 cards. They are in the mail today to Darlene.

Joyce

Round Robin has come and gone.
Took out and replaced 3.
JoAnn it went in the mail to you today.
Darlene

RR#6 is doing quite well, as we have navigated thru 7 participants in 6+ weeks!! KEEP THE FLAME!

Just returned from 10 days in Victoria,BC. The robin arrived when I was away.It will be on its way tomorrow
JoAnn

We returned home from the Regional in San Diego and a side trip to the Abbott family reunion in Iowa to find RR 6 waiting for us. Replaced 3 postcards and will put it in the mail today. Now it's off to Block Island for the SE Light event.

We have successfully completed cycle 1 of RR#6!! Congrats to all, hopefullly all got some good cards for their collections. RR#6-2 is about to start with the following mailing order chosen at random, except for me being last.

JoAnn Dawley
Joyce Holland
Tom&Joyce Abbott
Larry Radloff
Darlene Cook
Shirin Pagels
George Hood



Cards go out in Murphy's mail tomorrow 8/15. Coming your way Randy!!
Fortunately you all live out of town from me. Our mail is definitely stupid. If I send anything to anyone in Murphy the mail is brought to the Murphy Post Office (yes, we have one!), then transported by truck to Asheville (~100 miles away), sorted, transported by truck back to Murphy PO, and then delivered. So to pay a bill by mail within Murphy might take 5-6 days, the same time it takes to go clear across the country!!

Randy, have you rec'd them yet??

George, we just got back from Florida, should have them ready to go out in the next few days!

I received the RR #6 from Randy. I will have it in the mail tomorrow to Sue.

I received the robin yesterday from Lorie and it will be on it's way to JoAnn today.

Just a heads up everyone. I see it's on its way to JoAnn and I am next, but we will be away all next week, so there may be a slight delay in movement.

Joyce

Thanks Bonniebert for the heads up!!

I was in Racine on business this week so I got to visit the Wind Point Lighthouse. Enjoed it, but sure wished it was open to the public!

Received RR#6 today,replaced two,will mail out Mon. to Joyce.
JoAnn

Received the cards today from JoAnn, took out 6 and they are ready to go out to Tom and Joyce. Will probably be on Monday. We are still cleaning up from Hurricane Isobel, which shortened our vacation this week. We returned home to prepare our home for the storm. Good thing we did, or we would have had some upset neighbors if our lawn furniture decided to visit their house through a window. Winds here were very close to 100 mph.

Joyce

Round Robin #6 arrived in Desoto yesterday, September 29th. Replaced six postcards and will put it in the mail to Larry tomorrow, October 1st.

The robin made good time, I replaced 4 and they are now on there way to Darlene.

The robin appears to be getting tired; finally flew in this morning; will send it back on its way to Shirin tomorrow.
Darlene

Shirin,
Ran into a couple of snags and did not make it to post office until this morning. Cards went in mail around noon or so. Sorry for the delay.
Darlene

The robin arrived today and is ready to go back ut tomorrow to George. There was a good selection of cards. Thanks all!

I may be a few days in getting the cards out as I'm out of state to be with my father who's having a lung removed. It may be 7-10 days before I return to NC and "get" the cards. Bear with me and thanks in advance.

George, the cards will be waiting for your return. They were mailed today. I hope your father's opperation goes well.

I'm back waiting on the cards to arrive. My father's operation went pretty well, considering his age (82) and all that he's been thru in the last four years ( 2 heart ops, a brain op, chemo, and lung removal). Bless his soul he's doing well and the power of prayer always works.

Will turn the cards around in 24 hrs once I get them. Thanks,

??? You still haven't gotten the cards??? It has been a week since I mailed them out.

Nothing yet!!!

That's not good!!! I wonder where they have gotten to.

Pony Express!

Gary Martin sent me a letter from Michigan to Virginia on Oct. 6. It arrived October 23. Bet than envelope would have some stories to tell! :rolleyes:

Judy

The mule must have taken a detour.....

I think the Murphy Mule is lost!!! Thank goodness the USPS is not an airplane as its reliability would nver allow it to leave the ground!

So how much longer do we wait until restarting this robin? I don't quite have the 10 postcards to restart it yet but hope to pick some up this next weekend so I can restart it after that.

There have been others that took longer to arrive in other PCE's, so I suggest we give it until the end of this week. If nothing by 11/8, we'll restart at that time. Those of you who have read any number of my posts know that I'm not a fan of the USPS as their "failure rate" is higher than any other company would tolerate. . The only reason all my bills get paid on time all the time is that I do them electronically and do not rely on the USPS. Wherever possible in other circumstances I use UPS or FEDEX as they are more reliable than the USPS. I joke a lot about the "Murphy Mule" here in conjunction with the USPS, but unfortunately here in this corner of NC they really are sloooow, inefficient, and unreliable.
This is not the first instance of problems as I have provided written complaints to the local Postmaster with "zero" responses.

Well that should give me some time to collect the rest of my postcards.

Judy

Judy, you just signed up for the new round robin that John started. Don't know what number has been assigned to it, probably #8. This thread pertains only to RR#6. There is also another one in progress, RR#7.

It gets a bit confusing as many of the same people are in all three of them.

I'll say!

Judy

THEY ARRIVED !!! [finally....] I will generate a new random list and begin RR#6-3 by the weekend!!

Whoo hoo! I'm so glad to hear that the cards have finally arrived!

PCE # 6-3 is set to kick-off today !! The rules haven't changed so I'm not repeating any of the logistics. Cards will go out today (11/7 in the Murphy mail)in the following order:

Tom & Joyce Abbott
Darlene Cook
Lorie Roe
Randy Kremer
Susan LeFever
Shirin Pagels (address corrected)
Larry Radloff
Joyce Holland
JoAnn Dawley
George Hood

Enclosed labels also reflect the order in the upper left corner.

HAVE FUN with 6-3!! and congrats to all for sucessful round 6-2.

Thanks George.

I'm ready for round 3.

Round Robin 6-3 landed in Desoto today. Will have it back in the air on Friday.

To quote Roy Rogers, "We're back in the sadddle again...."

The Robin flew in Saturday the 15th and out today--Monday the 17th--on its way to Lorie.
Darlene

The robin came in today from Darlene. I have replaced the cards and it is ready to go out in the mail tomorrow to Randy.

Arrived yesterday from Miss Lorie.

Took 8, replaced 8.

Sent out today, going North to Sue in New York.

The robin arrived today. Will look over and advise when it's ready to go.

Five out, five in and out today!

Started a second topic for responces now that we are well past the 50 post mark.
