I have no idea what the protocol is on the box. Earthling started this whole thing, so I think it is up to him to a certain extent. I think he has one East Coast box and one West Coast box.
I think it may be important to keep the box to a manageable size, otherwise it will turn into a footlocker sized behemoth.
How retro-actually sending people a thing, rather than a file. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Yeah ain't it Tom <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Ok folks you don't have to be an 'old timer' to participate..just don't go gettin' Altzheimers once you have the box <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> otherwise everyone else on the list fills my PM box up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />, You just have to have been around 'these parts' for at least 2 years, and 100 posts; so I have an idea that you're just as much a gearhead as the rest of us <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I have 5 boxes out now <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> It went like this.....West Coast #1, East Coast #1, SouthEast Box #1, MidWest box #1, Northern Tier Box #1......They're out there floating around and when they make their ways back to me I'm sending them right back out as #2 boxes to all those areas, except then it will be a whole different card of folks who get the boxes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
This is the fairest way i could figure out how to give a new home to some closet gear amongst friends. I put a maxiumum of up to 10 folks per card; this should keep the box moving pretty good, and allow for a fair amount of privacy amongst participants. Don't think I did'nt go through many ears of corn dipped in butter to figure this out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I have a East of Missippi Box card full already for when a box comes in; and I have 3 spaces left for a Round 2 West Coast Box at this time...easy now, no pushing, there's enough seats for everyone <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
To get on an Earthling's Doodad Box list you just PM me your info and I copy it onto the appropriate card for your Region of the USA, once the card is filled I put it inside of a CD case that has a CD of the Earthling Farm, where it stays until it gets back to me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I hope this will continue to be a fun surprise for all who participate in the spirit of giving regardless of Season <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Oh yeah, and like Tom said, please keep the box to a reasonable size, I don't have room here for a cabin tent <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
