    On top of things as usual, Grumpy Old Administrator! I'm the current high bidder on that great campfire grill and I drove up the price on a few other things. Great cause!

    Lots of stuff doesn't have a single bid yet. Come on guys and girls, there's stuff for every price range to support the fight!!!

    Matt, I suppose this is already posted on other forums?

    You shouldn't have given up the camp grill, because when my tow rig blew up (and burned twice the diesel as usual) I didn't bid as I am BROKE!

    Looks like they raised some funds though, which is fantastic.

    Next fundraiser: keep grump old administrator out of the red because he has too many hobbies.

    I caught the thread about your adventurous return from Big Dawg's. That was some tough luck.

    I've been saying for years I should be declared a charity! lol

    I'm just glad they raised some money.
