Thank you Bernzy for the great looking plug. Happy Holidays to everyone. Hopefully Bassmaster's friend can enjoy it too. P.M.

Hope you made your goal BM.

Please let us know how it turned out.

Merry Xmas everyone!

My son saw the Patriot Danny when I got home, and thought it was wicked cool....... told him, same as I said to you, it will never see the water..... he said, "Dad, if they win the Superbowl again, you have to fish it.... maybe you'll get the large of your lifetime"
Them words been haunting me all afternoon! :eek: :eek:
Do ya think he's got a point? :huh:

"if"?
you mean when :D

:D you tell 'em slip:)

Merry Xmas everyone!

Does anyone know how much $$ was raised for the guy?

I still don't even know if Dave recieved my check in time:smash: Five PM's over the past six days and not even one reply:smash:

If I read it right, Dave was just passing everything over to another co-worker, that was doing the fund raising.

I am sure he will give you an answer when he can, but I don't expect him to do the accounting.

I know Dave was having a tough week with some house, and health issues of his own.





Slip, I hear you.... yes.... When, not if :D

But, the dilema.... When they do, should I throw the Pat Danny?:eek:

Dave also mentioned that he was having some computer issues. I don't think he made his goal but I'm sure every penney was really appreciated.
I bet he is still getting checks in the mail; hey I got my sisters Christmas card this morning.
I feel really sorry for the guy with lung cancer....

I just wish I knew if he got the check in time before Christmas. I know that was the goal and I would have driven down the $$ if it was not received in time.

Even just a one line response to one of the many PM's that were read would have been nice. Maybe a "I got it", or a "I didn't get it". or "I'm busy, go away" or maybe "go to hell you're a loser and I don't want to respond to you". Any of that would have been good enough for me.

I left it in the good Eben's hands. He will let me know if the $ was received.

Don't throw the Pat Danny. Give it to me.

dude i pmd You.
yes i got the check
thanks
add up whats posted here, im not I just send the checks to paul and he says thank You to all of You guys.
I think we can unsticky this now
thanks Dave

Glad to hear you got it in time.

I must have missed the pm, my mistake.

thanks to all:)

Your Welcome Dave, and I hope your co-worker sorts out these problems :(

Eben, your plugs kick $%#. I have already gotten a few large at night with the blurple swimmer!

Thanks!!!!!!

I wish I got a few large on my plug. Sorry Dave I could't resist :wavey: They call me Mr. Patient. By the way how did that guy make out. Paul

Same here?
