1. Doc's house to High Cheese

(city)..................... to (city).........................

2. High Cheese to VeraBlue
(city).........................to Little Ferry, NJ

3. VeraBlue to luvs
Little Ferry NJ to Pittsburgh PA 374 miles

4. luvs to miniman
Pittsburgh to (city) Alton, Hampshire UK plus atlantic ocean


I don't know the city names for above..but if everyone would fill in their own blanks we can track this easily enough. Isn't the atlantic ocean 3000 miles? (grade school was soooo long ago)


Amended as above
 
Glad to hear that luvs. If you use an envelope that helps keep the price down also. It was less than $5 for me to send it to Jeeves ...er I mean HC. So PM me your paypal address and I'll reimburse you $5 luvs.

Is anyone tracking the aproms path so you can guesstimate the miles it travels?


oh, thanks doc, don't worry 'bout it! it wa only $9. that's thoughtful of you, though!

Good idea! I knew you were good for something!

PM sent to Andy. :thumb:
 
Doc to High Cheese - 514 miles
High Cheese to Vera Blue - 57 Miles
Vera Blue to Luvs - 364 Miles
Luvs to Miniman - 3,780 miles

Total traveled so far - 4,716 miles

I am starting a spreadsheet. I will make it available to all as I get it more defined.
 
That is cool Andy!! Do you want the info before or after we get the apron?? I didn't read the other posts, my bad!! lol
 
I have the sheet started. I went to each user's profile and I filled in the city / state / country, based on what each user enteered. Several users are either not clear, or did not post this info.

I have already calculated all of the trips that I can from this info.

This is important

If you do not want your city and state generally known, and you still want the chart accurate, PM me the info, I will use it ti calculate and discard it. If you want to post it here, I will mopnitor this thread. If you add it to your profile, please let me know.

So far, I have 7 unknowns and the total of all the trips that I can calculate is 14,861 miles.

Andy

P. S. barb, I know where you are. LOL

Okaaaaaaaaaaaay then! I'm easy to find. :mrgreen:
 
If folks will be kind enough to give me city, state and country (If Different from USA), I will gladly doo the legwork and post the results. This can be done in advance of the apron traveling. Just take Vera's original list, fill in your city and state and PM it to me. I'll do the rest.

Andy

Update
 
I live 8/10ths of a mile from homecook, so you can add that to the distance. :yum: BTW, when it comes to Barb, we'll get together and then send it to the next person. No need to have it come back to me when we drive by each others homes multiple times each week, so please move me up to homecook/JoeV. (It's probably going to cost me 2 cinnamon rolls.:yum:)

Thanks!

I think that was already suggested Joe........I don't believe it's going to work. But you can try!! :thumb:
And it will cost you 4 cinnamon rolls...:wink:
 
I'm not going back through 10 pages of posts to find where that was ignored. We'll handle it when it shows up in Mentor, then I'll ask to be removed from the list. Maybe then it will sink in that it makes sense to do it this way. :bonk::bonk: Oh, and I guess 4 cinnamon rolls it will have to be. It's still cheaper than double postage and holding up the process. :yum: Oh, and who pi$$ed off that skunk in my back yard? My whole house smells like skunk, and we had to light all the scented candles (thank goodness DW has 6,517 of them:yum:) to clear the odor. Peeeeeeee-yew!
 
He must of gotten pissed when you put out all the citronella thingies. He was probably enjoying the ambience. Better he did it after I left. LOL

Sure, that will work.

As I said somewhere, any folks who live close together are welcome to get together and pass the apron, have lunch with the apron, etc. However, it was decided that we were not going to change the order of the names to mail to because of proximity but being able to meet in person is encouraged. Maybe even a pic of the apron hand off would be in order. :D

Here is the latest updated list with JoeV sharing HomeCooks number 7 spot.

1. Doc
2. High Cheese
3. VeraBlue
4. Luvs
5. Miniman
6. Chowhound

i sympathize about the skunk issue!! every freaking tonight for 2 weeks we smelled skunk!! it has taken a break for a few days now so maybe they moved along.
 
Note to self: Take family friendly photos. No baking wearing ONLY the apron.:shock: No back shots. Launder apron before passing along.:yum:

Well, I get it first............so what you do with it is your business. :yum: But I won't tell what I'll do with it. :ohmy:

We'll just take a nice pic when I hand it off to you. :whistling:
 
Ok, this has gone on long enough. I went back to the beginning of this thread, which is like 24 pages, and pulled out posts that were against handing it off to someone that lived close by, that they had to wait until it was their turn on the list.
I will say that chowhound mentioned this in the very beginning like post #10, 13, 64, 87, etc. Since JoeV and I live within walking distance it would only make sense for us to share it at the same time and I will in turn send it off to the next person listed after me which I believe is Andy and Joe's name is taken off. That way it will move quicker through the list. Doc says he agrees with this. He did mention it in post #133. See, I told you I listed them all. LOL He also gave his blessing in post #232.
Don't talk to me about the logistics because that's beyond me. All I know is if you can deliver the apron to someone that's close there is no reason not to, then that person will be taken off the list.
Did any of that make sense?? Because it's been re-hashed over and over already........

I also think since Miniman has the apron now why doesn't he just send it on to Galvatron who in turn would send it on to the next person on the list??? I don't think we're going to be like a bunch of babies and argue that someone else should have gotten it first..................are we? I say as long as we all get it in mostly sequential order all should be good........anyone say "I"????
 
I’m fine with that. When it is definitely known that someone is close, then go for it. My only concern was sitting down and taking time to figure out where all 24 people where on the list geographically and then trying to plan a route through all 24 in the most “as-the-crow-flies” manner.

I don’t think anyone should have to sit down and rearrange the list and plot a geographical route (that can change if others get added to the list after the original 24)……BUT, if you definitely KNOW that a person is close to you, then go for it.
 
I certainly don't care if miniman doesn't send it to me next, even though I'm next on the list. That's what I was trying to say from the beginning. It doesn't take a map engineer to read where someone is from (below their avatar) and say, hey, they aren't that far from me. I got the feeling some people might feel slighted if their name got passed by.
 
Vera, when you see this take note.....

I just received an e-mail from Stacy, (TexasGirl). In part this is what she said.
Would you do me a favor? You could copy and paste this email. Since I am no longer a part of NCT, they should remove me from the list for the apron so that it continues on it's way to the active members.

Would you please remove her name? Thank You!!
