DDFS final update
 
The DDFS flies are separated and packaged. The people who sent return
postage and packaging will have their flies sent tomorrow. The people
who chucked in a few bucks along with return packaging should also have
theirs sent tomorrow. The people who sent money for postage but no
return packaging stand a slight chance of getting theirs mailed
tomorrow, depending on box availability. My international friends may
have to wait until next week, 'cause Timmaaay ain't going anywhere NEAR
a post office between now and Christmas.

All swappers: One thing to remember for future swaps is that although
*you* may have tied teeny tiny flies that fit in a teeny tiny fly box,
other swappers tie flies that will take up the whole box by themselves,
and be crushed by the built-in dividers in the process. I would suggest
something the size of a VCR-tape box with one large single compartment.
The USPS has Priority Mail boxes you can pick up for free. I'll let it
slide 'cause I'm a nice guy, but Frank will have your ass come February.

DDFS final update
 
Yeah, like the word "final" really has any meaning here. ;-)

The following batches of flies were mailed today:
Big Dale Wilkerson
Chris "Padishar Creel"
Frank Reid
John "JR"
Paul "bouncer"
Randy "bugcaster"
Svend Tang-Petersen
Wayne Patton
Stan Gula

Unfortunately, FedEx never came through like the commercials say, and
Wayne Knight's *second* batch of flies never arrived either, although
the tracking has said "in transit" all day. That means your return
packages are light by one fly. My apologies to Wayne for not being able
to wait any longer, but I had to get these things shipped. The good news
is that at some point I'll be the proud owner of 30 patriots. :) What
I'll do is ship these back when they arrive, minus the ones for the
remaining packages to be shipped, to give him a head start for Frank's
GFS.

Thanks, swappers. These are truly a great looking bunch.
