Good guy has bad accident, and needs your help

[Jkebxjunke]

The post office is only a couple hundred yards away, so we are making our own trips.

How 'bout this: One of the local loggers asked about donating a picker load of wood. Guess that would have to be a separate raffle, huh? UPS'ing 10 cords of firewood could be somewhat costly.

Not to butt in, but if the guy who got burned could use firewood, perhaps they could just donate it directly to him. Just a thought. Hope my snail mail got there. J R

Thats a good idea. And if I win that 372xp I will drive down and cut it up for him!

 

[havenodog]

I'm in for 2 tickets. Check is in the mail.
Sending up a prayer for him right now.

 

[psquared]

Count me in for 2 tickets. The check will go out tomorrow.

Great job Arboristsite members and those donating the saws and services.

By the way

Time to confess my ignorance again, what is a "picker" of wood. Term that I have never heard. Is it really 10 cords, and is that logs, or is is cut firewood?
Thanks. JR

I don't know for sure but I'll give that one a shot. Around here, "picker" is a slang term for a self-loader log truck. So I took that to assume he would donate a load of logs, though I don't know what length would equate to 10 cord.

OK, yesterdays mail had another 7 envelopes, kind of wrapping up the first batch of entries/donations. So, my snail mail total is 37 totaling $770. Somewhat dwarfed by the paypal total, so THANKS AGAIN Steve and Scott.

After I hit the mailbox today I'll post another update.

I should also take this opportunity to thank Darin for allowing us to do this here on the site. After this got going, and especially after it got way bigger than I expected, I was wondering if it was even OK to be doing this. (I probably should have asked ahead of time). Thanks Darin!!
