Lew, if possible (not knowing your schedule) keep the box over the weekend and send it out on Monday. We can work around schedules when needed. Sorry you have not been able to enjoy it yet.

No problem, been too busy down here to enjoy it anyway! I will probably mail it out on Sat because I will be in job orientation nearly all day Monday and go on call at 0100 Tuesday, so I want to make sure it gets it the mail without too much delay.

No problem Jason. I'll still get enjoyment out of it!

Is the West box still headed for me after Lew? He can keep in longer. Use part of my days. I can do a quick look-see in the box and it can be right back on schedule. I have had plenty of experience with boxpasses.

Carlos, you are still after Lew. I have no problem with him keeping it longer to enjoy. Thats the good thing about box passes. We are flexible.

Thought I better let everyone know Babs arrived and is safe and well in North Dakota! Man, I can't believe what's all in here to sample Very Happy

Carlos, I'll get it off to you ASAP. I appreciate you giving me a few days, I'll try not to cut into them any more than possible.

Once I get my head wrapped around these blends and do a little sniff test I'll post samples, puts/takes.

I appreciate everyone's patience, but as is life on the rail Very Happy

Lew, don't worry about the time. If you have six days to enjoy then by all means do so.
