I have won the giveaway twice now, so I don’t participate any more, but I enjoy seeing what others put in and take out. Looks like it’s stalled again, anyone know what happened?
 
I understand that people get busy...
But it only takes about an hour to unbox them, choose knives, take pictures, and box them back up.
I think if you win, you should be prepared to get these on to the next winner within a week or maybe two.
And keep the other contestants updated on the progress... It's all part of the deal and others are depending on you. ;)

Not that it matters, but I agree.

Exactly why I don't enter.
Among other things, since I moved to Buhl, I got less than zero idea precisely where the Postal is.
(I know it's somewhere inside the city/town limits, but that's about it...)

With the Gov's lockdown on assisted living and all other long term health care, physical therapy, and senior services, a bit over a year ago, I ain't been able to explore the town or learn where things are, or what is here that I might be willing to spend my few funds at.
(prior to January, 29 or 30, 2019, I didn't have access to my (adult) trike. I don't own a motor vehicle of any kind; haven't since 1995 or 1996. Costs too much to feed, register, maintain, and insure them.)

At the physical rehab place I was at before coming here in November, 2018, I did learn what was with-in my 1 mile (with rest for pain in knees and hips to subside every 0.2 to 0.25 mile or so) "walking distance". (trike was not allowed/permitted.)
Of interest to me: ACE Hardware conjoined to a grocer that carried 2 liters of Shasta Generic Mtn. Dew, and a McDonald's across the street from ACE.

The Governor's lockdown went unto affect Feb. 07, 2019. I did get to ride trike Feb. 03, and 06. It rained and snowed while I was out the 06th. Not enough snow to make pedal tracks, though ... :(
On the 03'rd it was rather windy (stiff headwind no matter what direction I went; wind changed direction when I did) and cold. :(

You are of course right:thumbsup:
 
Sounds like things are working out I was just thinking about this today and curious if I had missed the start of the next round or if there had been a delay. I keep my name in the hat, I haven't won yet, but it is more just the fun of seeing what people chose and what they add in.

That was the situation that was in my mind as well... A whirlwind tour of North America. While I haven't had a truly lost package yet, I've had a few go on some unexpected detours.

My brother in laws mother who lives in Virginia had her blood pressure medication go from her local pharmacy to California, then back to her local post office. Literally went across the country to be mailed about 15 miles from place of departure to place of arrival :eek:
