If all the slabs are wrapped in cardboard and there is a lot of packing to protect them and keep the weight down the SFRB would be ok. If we get it too heavy they are just going to tear it up. Jim

I will do an MFRB. I will bag everything inside a sand bag. That way a broken box will lose nothing. I will also double box it.
Whomever is next on the list please PM me your address. I'll get it out this weekend.
Dang I have a lot of rocks.

I am going to wait for one more donation. Jamesp has sent a box of coral. You all want coral right?
I think I will put an MFRB worth of material in an LFRB. That way I can have room for cushion and internal packing. I'll use a couple of SFRB for internals packing plus bubble wraps and tape and and and.... we'll make this fly.

By the time Jamesp stuff gets here I will easily have 60#++ of material.
What id I put out two boxes. One for top of the list and one for bottom? they can travel in opposite directions.

Yes, what you said. Thanks for orchestrating this and making it happen, Scott! I hope that the boxes make it to their destinations intact.

The only problem I foresee is this. I have so much material I have to "high grade" for the TRB. I hope the contributors will not be upset at my high grading choices. Orchestrating? Peshaw.... Jim & George both sent sphere material for me. Stuff I would/could not have otherwise. I just have to figger out how to pay it forward. jamesp mailed an FRB today. Should be here MOn/Tues. I'll have the box prepped with some room for corals. Hang in there folks. We almost there. HA!! I know what we can do with extra materials. If everyone pitches in a few bux I can make a box for Adrian & KK!

Hey Scott, I'd be willing to throw in a few bucks. Overseas shipping is expensive. Lets see how many others will pitch in the pot.

You have some really good ideas there. Two boxes starting from each end sounds great but may be a problem for the people in the middle getting two boxes at the same time. It would not be a problem for me so you can put me in the middle.
I will do five bucks for an overseas box. Let me know and I will put material in the mail and add to your pay pal. Jim

What the hell snotpickerforever, changing your avatar throws me way off track. I do not look at names, only avatars unless they are the plain jane that comes with the forum. If you keep it up I may go insane and then you would be sorry. Jim

Jim, I played piggy in the middle a couple years ago. I also had to take things out of both boxes to send to pporky in Australia, and put stuff from him into both boxes. I had to wait almost a month until I had all of the boxes in one place. Got-r-done, but it wasn't fun.

And I'm already sorry (so I'm told). I will leave this one up until I can replace it with a photo taken in November at the Cadys!

anybody know for sure if the post office will accept a med. or lfrb to a p.o.box? I will be moving to n.c. in a few weeks and will be living out of our travel trailer until we build on the lot or buy a house. it may take till next year to finish a build. I may need to bow out.
