Thanks, nuclearsandwich.
Let me make a few things clear, but I'll start with an apology. I stated from the very beginning that I would give you an update every single week until everyone had their caps, even if I had nothing to report except that I'm still alive. I have, however, not been on GH for the past couple weeks. Part of this is due to my work schedule kicking up, and part is due to my feeling guilty that I started this, and it's now in limbo. I am sorry, and I will move forward with weekly updates from here.
Speaking of which: Update!
I have requested an appointment with orthopedics, and am waiting for a phone call back for a date. Unfortunately army medicine is not fast, so we all have to wait together.
Once I have this appointment (which was originally scheduled for next week), I will have a better picture of what we need to do next. I haven't lined up anyone else taking over shipping quite yet, because I still don't know if that's entirely necessary. I don't want to make promises without incomplete information.
Additionally, I haven't heard from SP since I pushed the payment through. I'll email Melissa when I'm done with this update, asking for an update on progress.
I have had a number of volunteers, wishing to help, so no matter how this goes down, we will figure out a way to get everyone their caps. At the VERY worst case scenario, I am out of the Army this May, we just have SP hold on to it for six months, send it to Minnesota, and I knock it out there. If anyone stateside would like to volunteer to take over sorting and mailing entirely, we can talk about it and work something out. I have purchased 7 additional Ergodox kits, to reach our numbers, and we can work out getting you a set or two for your troubles. Before I agree to send it to anybody, I'll post it here in the forum to ensure nobody has any objections. I wont put a post limit or join date on it, but I will ask that you're a well known and active member of the community.
Thank you again, Nuke, you PMing me and pulling me out of me reverie. I hope everyone is doing well and has a happy thanksgiving. I'll update you all as soon as I have updates to give, and will definitely be checking in every week.
