Sjo:
Speaking of "glad you made it", have you retired yet? Hope you are looking forward to it. I change my countdown to 41 on Monday...

Bill,

My boss and I have a difference of opinon about my hollidayhours for 2014. I told them that I worked the last day on last thursday. My boss now says that this isn't right but he does not know when is my due date. So I told him that I will be waiting at home till he finds out.So the burden is on him and I'm feeling retired allready! I have a vivid life in my community, being a chairman plus moneyman for one commity and being a member for another one and doing the justice counseling for my political party, I guess I'm too busy for work.
And I need time to complete my swaps in time.....
Cheers
Sjo

Hey Swapmeisters ! Whatever happened to posting pics of the flies received at each monthly swap ? I really enjoyed seeing them and learned from them. They could be posted at the completion of the swap. How about it ???

I'm still waiting one set of the October flies, so those pictures can't be taken yet.

I just received the September flies yesterday and haven't even had a chance to open them yet, let alone take pictures.

The August swap pictures are posted.

For the prior month's, equipment issues prevented me from doing them.

As a general response to the question, not everyone that hosts a swap has the equipment or the interest in photography to post pictures. After all, you pretty much have your hands full just getting all the flies turned in and distributed. But, I agree, I like seeing the pictures too.

Hello Everyone, just a quick update on the swap status. We're short one set of flies and I suspect that diaper duty has delayed them. That's a better excuse than I usually have for being late. Since we've been pretty relaxed about the due dates during SOTM series, I figured we'd wait a little longer.

I haven't opened the envelopes yet, so I don't have any idea what everyone tied this month either. But, to let you know what we're waiting for, I'm planning to post pictures of the flies this weekend.

Then I'm thinking about going ahead and putting whatever flies I have into the mail the first week of December. If the missing set comes in after the Oct flies are mailed, then they can be added to the December swap flies (since I'm hosting that one) and if they haven't arrived by the time those flies are ready to ship, I'll just return the extra Oct fly to the original tier with their set of Dec flies. Does this proposal work for everyone?
