After much waiting, here is what I saw out my front door window....
Yes, that is the postal carrier delivering the box
On the porch
Kitchen Floor, unopened
First opening
Left side of contents
Right side of contents
More stuff
I am talking with Robrev to meet as we live a few miles away from each other to do the swap!
BTW, I like (and so did my wife) the SWMBO bag!!

Holy Moly! 
Big thanks to the participant who repackaged everything so orderly and provided a bigger box! And big thanks to Art for an update photo!
Art is planning to meet with Robrev in the local area to do a transfer.
Art, do us a favor and reinforce the box with some extra packing tape if you would, please?
Ok, Robrev is next.
Stay tuned. Box has been on the road for four months now and still going!
Cheers,

Art, that's one big sucker. Thanks for the photo.
All right....I met Robrev at Starbucks, chit chatted a little and did the swap....I even had someone take a picture of the deed.
That's me on the left and Rob on right. A very nice guy, we had a great talk about work and family and or course, shaving. I hope we get to keep in touch.
It was a pleasure meeting you Rob, we have to get together to play racquetball sometime.

Hey everyone, just a note to let the group know I received the Box today. 
I'm heading to Atlanta for the weekend, but I will send the box on its merry way sometime early next week!

Well, that didn't work out as I planned. 
It's been a crazy few weeks, but I'll get the box on its way this Friday, the 17th.
Apologies to everyone for the holdup.

Hello All,
Just got word from Sam in Memphis that the box has arrived today. Thanks, Rich!
Hope you find something you like in the box. The contents surely look different from when it departed back on 29 August 2005
.
Beerman in SC is next, then caseys101 in Houston and then back to me. A six month journey is coming to an end
.

Richard,
I know the participants have to be glad that you are providing an update in advance. I mean after all, it takes time to arrange a bank loan to afford the shipping!

Hello Beerman,
Could you give the participants an update on the monster? I am sure caseys101 in Houston is "chomping at the bit" as they say in Texas!

Hello All,
Beerman has told me he will ship the box on Friday. He had some family issues which took precedence. No problem, understandable. Family always comes first, pardner! The box has been on the road for more than six months, so what's a few extra days!
Mike, I hope you found something you could use in the box and thank you for the extra items.
Caseys101, stay tuned.
Cheers,
Richard
