Tired if it? You kidding me? Only thing I'm tired of is me kicking myself for not ordering more of them. Your wife must be a Saint. There's no way I could pull something like storing those in the house. I got grief for leaving my newly opened Fog 4 in the kitchen overnight. Please thank her for all of us. You sure you dont have any extra fog 1s or 2s laying around?  |

As a sidebar, we have lived in this house since 1993. The stonework on the fireplace, and the design for the ultra high mantle, was done by us - my w and m. The stone facing fell off 4 times and we finished it by flashlight. One of my most favorite memories. Shane will understand. The ultra high mantle and the three foot hearth was designed because of my wood stove at the time.
Back to the blue boxes... I have had some cancellations - so of which I posted in previous threads. Up to this point I have refunded those purchases according to the original rules.
I do not want to advertise any of these for sale until I have all the others shipped out just in case some of the math or an error happened. It would really be bad if I offered some for sale and then I found I goofed and someone who originally wanted one couldn't get one.
I hope you understand.

I just got my shipping invoice. It's not often a bill brings a smile to my face!
Thanks Peter- I can't wait to get my fogtainers. In fact, in my latest sysport I reserved space for all 3 of them.
Why doesn't someone start a new thread where we can all post pictures of our fogtainers in our workshops/ vans/ garages etc.?

Yeah, look close, I think I see some golden fur sticking out of the box. Wonder if he's going to like his new home, wherever he's being shipped to. |

A reminder to those who desired labels on their Fogtainers - check your email today for shipping information. Someone said my wife is a Saint. She is beginning to grow horns . Gotta go and pack some more! Yeah! Peter |

Well, I think I have all the labelled ones done and invoices for shipping sent. MacGyver was not available for this photo. I think that all the boxes scared him. Included now in the stack are those going to Australia, Scotland, Great Britain, Canada, and all over the US. Useless statistics: so far 130 boxes used about 1900 feet of 24" wide bubble wrap used about 3/4 of a mile of packing tape. The carnage and results at the end of the day. Please note that one stack is two deep.  We are on the downward slope. Many more members chose the labels over the printed version. Yeah! Peter |

Ken,
It is under the bubble wrap. Before anyone asks, the 2 x 4 frame to the right is actually the beginning of the base for a new 150 gallon salt water aquarium to replace the ugly one behind the boxes. Additionally what you don't see off to the right is a bunch of paduak for the aquarium cabinet, and off screen to the left is the beginnings of the cabinet. Underneath the cantilevered TV stand is a mini systainer that came with an apron in it (promotional item) that now holds remotes for the audio visual equipment. I live in a very compact space.

What a great bunch you are. Obviously I can't ship them all at once. But we will start heavy tomorrow. I had a meeting this morning that I forgot about.
If anyone is trying to reach me via email, I have been crushed with emails over the last few days and am sorting them out.

Pete, you must hold the record for a private individual being in posesion of the most systainers I might right now, but I am willing to give that distinction up . Will kind of miss them when they are gone, but then after a rest will start on something else. I sure am glad I don't have to pack mine and ship them to myself. Peter |

Brice, Cute, but no. Or maybe not. Come to think about it, I actually bought three with the help of some other foggers and mailed off two. I wonder where they might land? Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries. Somewhere out there in FOG land someone will be surprised. |

UPDATE ON SHIPPING
If you have received an invoice and you have paid via paypal prior to 4 am EST tomorrow morning - yours will expectedly ship tomorrow. Please keep in mind that although you may pay today, I might not have access to your funds for 4 business days. I also have to work this in with my income producing ( i.e. food in my mouth) ventures. I assure you I will ship as quickly as I can.

Well, after a fun filled day of posting, doing customs forms, loading, and shipping, MacGyver and I are both tired. You saw the earlier mages from yesterday - here it is now:  The clerk at the post office was great - again. She remembered me from last time - and did not run. Luckily I only had to deal directly with the international orders. They let me unload the others at their loading dock. A stack 6 feet tall, one package wide, and 12 feet long. More than just a couple. I tried to send emails to every member whose packages shipped today. I have to go thru the list again. But rest assured, this was the biggest portion shipped. Packages sent to Australia, Scotland, Great Britain, Canada, and all over this continent. I'd like to say thank you to Paul Marcel for the cool backdrop in a few of his videos. Enjoy! Peter - soon not to be the caretaker of the Fogtainers. |

Thanks Peter, I recieved your notification that the Fogtainers for me and for Kevin Dube are on their way to my place.
I am eagerly awaiting them and have now started to figure out what uses I will put them too.
I hope that we don't get stung too badlyfor taxes and duties at the border. It always seems to be a crap shoot.
