Well time to do a little tallying up as to where we are.

$1220-Checks sent directly here.
$3395- paypal donations. Way to go cutting edge.
$530- Local cash sales
$500- Anonymous donation that cuttinscott posted earlier.

So we are now standing at $5645. 90% of it from the good folks right here on AS.

Other than the obvious gratitude to everyone who has donated, some special thanks to a few who really made a difference.

Darin for allowing us to use the forum to do this.

Scott and Steve up at the Cutting Edge who really put this over the top by opening up the Paypal floodgate, and then adding the two Dolmars to the prize list.

Scooterbum for donating the 066, giving the Stihl contingent some representation.

Bookerdog and TST for modding the 372.

And our local town councilman Henry Rank who donated the raffle tickets that I've spent the last couple nights filling out.

If I forgot anyone, I'll be sure to mention it later.

I'll keep you posted on the drawing this Saturday. Probably a little after lunch, and we will drag it out and post 'em one at a time.

I SURELY wanted to be there, Spike, but had a prior commitment. I do hope the weather cooperates for ya!

Yep, he'll be swiggin' the Pepto-Bismol later on...

Just kiddin', Mexican food rocks.

Those are some pretty decent numbers there, I'm glad to have been a part of something like this. It isn't very often, unfortunately (or fortunately?!?), that I see things like this happen.

He stopped in yesterday and the recovery is going pretty good. He doesn't really look all that bad because his face only has a couple of marks on it. But then he lifted up his shirt and WHOA did he get burned. His discription of his attempt to put it out and then pull his shirt over his head while it was still burning was something I'll never forget. And his "treatment" was also mighty interesting to say the least.

He spent some time looking over the list of all you guys that helped and where you are all from and it really blew his mind. I think the idea that so many people from all over the world would take part in this made much more of an impression on him than any amount of money ever could.

Glad to help. Tonight I found out a kid that I went to high school with and was on the wrestling team with got badly burnt in apartment fire this past week. They've had to amputate both legs at the hip, and they might have to take his one arm too. He's just 26 and makes you really appreciate the things you have because it can always get worse.
