AS members, its time to take care of our own

[RVALUE]

I still think this is a stupid idea, which is probably why I like it so much!!!

When I was in college, about a month before Christmas, we announced that we were drawing names, and exchanging a six pack of Michelob.

Some people thought that was the dumbest idea, and opted out. When the last day of finals came, we searched out our recipients and presented them with their gift. It was kindof neat, wondering who got your name, etc. Turned into a really nice mini Christmas party.

The ones with the gloomiest faces watching the rest of us were the loudest earilier about the 'dumb idea'.

The package has been passed on...

Hey Av... I told Tiger it was ok for him to sign it too. He said he thought this was a cool thing to do. I had a GREAT time talking saws with him...

I would love to see pictures of the hardhat when its finished.

A big thanks to Gene and Matt to get the helmet to the GTG.

I will be shippin it out on monday

Just a hint, might want to watch when you handle it, seems the sharpie is wiping off. Avalanchers name is smeared a little bit.

I got 6 or 7 members to sign it today. And informed them about the raffle. None of them come over to the firewood section.

Let me know when you get that thing, i have an updated shipping list and I will have to email it to the next on the list.route is going to have to change a bit after you ship it to the next member to acomadate the members added to the list after it shipped from here.

It has came and went. Was off work Thurs./Fri, arrived Weds. and was shipped out Thurs. am to Indiana. I threw in a little something in the box for the raffele, plus to cushion it. Some of the sigs are rubbed off partially....
and a pic of it with the 'ol Pioneer RA.

Good deal.I have been strapped to a bed in the local hospital, and was wondering how things were going with this thing.haven logged on since hmm,last tuesday I reckon.Got a pm from Super3,he has replaced the sharpies with fine line paint pens,solving the rubbing off of the signature problem,and has sent it on its way.
Mtfallsmickey,sharp lookin pic!

 

[woodbooga]

Hope you're on your way to a full recovery, there!

 

[mtfallsmikey]

Any updates on the helmet?

 

[avalancher]

I havent heard anything, Super3 sent it out on the third so it really ought to be at the next place by now.According to my list, loadthestove should have been the next one to receive it.

What?You only sent one rat to him?I thought the plan was a box full.......trying to save on postage eh?

Those paint pens work any better than the sharpies?

That's all right. I've got a couple extra gerbils I can give up to send along.

I've not been following this thread closely (and I'm too stinking lazy to look through it all right now) but how many are on the list?

The list in the box with the helmet has somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 names,this is the first wave.Second list has an additional 35 names,if the helmet makes its way through the first list and we have time before Christmas then I will send it on its way through the second list until we run out of time.
I chose to break the list into two parts,biggest reason is it was important to get the thing on its way,and instead of constantly changing the shipping order and having to constantly forward a revised list to a member.But in reality, I have been pleasantly surprised that all the members have done a great job in getting the thing back into transit once they signed it.So far nobody as far as I know have sat on the thing more than a day.Great job everyone!

I can throw a rabbit in with the helmet if you like. Would you like a black or white one? They are pretty small so space is not an issue.:hmm3grin2orange:

How does shipping the helmet from member to member help the members?
