OK
I will bite for a space. I can handle two months but 09 we will have to see as I am scheduled for a rotor cuff operation and then chemo for 48 weeks (not really chemo but have to take two meds that debilitate some of those that take them - in fact will be classified 100% disabled for the duration by the VA).

I will tie the Chili Pepper Avenger with Burnt Orange Turkey Marabou. How many do I tie?

You’re in. As for quantity, I will give you a final number tomorrow, but it looks like 10 for now. It might go as high as 12 depending on interest and how many sign up for the openings. I won’t let it go over 12 in any case, though.
We’ll have a new signup list for the '09 swap group in December, with priority given to current members of the '08 swap. So you can make a final decision in about 1 month.
