And Fast!
Nothing better then a F4 phantom coming across the deck at full title boogie!
So are we allowed to participate in pass arounds or not?
Sure you can do pass-arounds. It’s a smart way to discover what works best for you!
"lies, damned lies, and statistics"
I thought it might flop when number of people in it were taken into account.
The sound of an A-10 autocannon is pretty awesome to behold!
Righto. Wasn’t sure as paying for the package to be shipped on is spending money.
And the soap sample pass around is a great one to be involved in.
"lies, damned lies, and statistics"
I thought it might flop when number of people in it were taken into account.
I set your question up. There are many ways to present data depending on who you want to get money from. We don't know how many people have gone AWOL, so there is no way to determine which group is ahead.
One thing I discovered was March and April were brutal months last year. Fourteen people crashed and Bedcheck Charlie confirmed six people went AWOL during the first quarter.
2018 final results: 34/78 made it. Only 43.6%. If we match that record in 2019, only 45 people will make it.
Oh all that pretty 30mm ammo....nothing quite like an A-10 at tree top level bringing the rain...."lies, damned lies, and statistics"

One of my favorites . . .

Hey, since my exception still says Straight razor(s) does that mean I can go ahead an buy another one????
Nice idea, but ....... nope. It is one specific personal exception.There was a sabbatical pass-around a few years ago that petered out.#39 Still In
We could even start our own pass-around!
It may be that he is out... if is exception was truly plural and he only bought one. But at that stage I think we have progressed from gentlemanly to picking nits.
Ruckin.
.ps I (#4 ) have an exception that can be exercised multiple times... So far this year I have not bought anything (shaving related) 49 days in a row.

We are losing participants to the powerful forces of RAD and SAD at an alarming rate, so I have been brainstorming a bit, and have some remarks for your consideration.
I think part of the problem is that it is too easy to quit if you have no skin in the game. So I decided to put some skin in the game. Below is a photo of a (very!) lightly used tub of MDC original. I hereby pledge that if I drop out of the sabbatical for any reason, I will immediately PIF said tub of to one of the remaining participants, to be chosen at random. Said tub will be put into inactive status (actually it has been pretty inactive in any case) for the duration.
I see this pledge as having a two-fold purpose. First, it will help to keep me in, because dropping out now has a cost. Second, it will offer at least some small incentive to others to stay in the game, as you might score a tub of MDC were I to fold.
I think it would be great if other participants would consider similarly putting some skin in the game. To further that end, I make a second offer: if five more participants join me in "putting skin in the game" by pledging something to be PIF'ed upon early withdrawal, then I will make the offer of the MDC unconditional. By that I mean that I will PIF it to someone (other than myself) to be chosen randomly from the survivors at the completion of the PIF.
Let's make this thing even more interesting...
