OK all postage has been purchased and tracking numbers sent via PayPal. If you didn't get a notification from PayPal, please check your spam, trash and junk folders and your PayPal account settings before sounding the alarm ::handshake:: onto packing individual boxes ::tu:: If you ordered more than once, all of your knives will all be shipped in the same box ::nod::

Quick Update: All the boxes are ready for shipping except for the final 48. I was on a roll this morning but I’m now at the ER with my wife who fell while crossing a sand dune and twisted her knee about an hour ago. My goal was to relinquish custody of the packages to USPS today but that may now be delayed until tomorrow morning. My apologies to everyone but I need to ask for a bit more of your continued patience. ::handshake::

Nothing to apologize for, family trumps knives any day of the week. Thanks for what you’ve got done so far and get her taken care of.

thanks Coley - looks like a meniscus tear on the X-Ray but the MRI will confirm - we may be here a moment. ::facepalm::

thanks Cudgee - without violating HIPPA I can report that we are home, there is a small tear but not to the degree that would require surgery. We have a follow-up appointment just before Christmas when hopefully the swelling and pain are minimized if not gone all together.

Overnight I will finish packaging the final knives and they will all be dropped off at the Southport NC Post Office in the morning. ::groove::

Any news avoiding surgery is good news. Tell her to just take it easy as she goes and hopefully all good news before Xmas.

Glad to hear she's doing better and won't require surgery. Hopefully, she'll be back on the golf course and avoiding those bunkers soon.

Glad to read your wife's is ok and doesn't need surgery. 🙏 Take care, Tom!

Quick Update: all packages are now in the custody of USPS and were scanned at the counter. I looked at the receipts that USPS gave me when I got home and there are less packages than were turned over which means some packages (~20) were not scanned in their haste. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and that all packages arrive at their intended destinations. ::tu:: I can’t worry about what I can’t control.
