Pap, I think I'll shoot for the autographed picture of Dave Stelts! But dinner with Dave is mighty invitin' too. I don't know what I would do with a million and the IRS and all! What a hoot!!!! Sherry

Couldn't we do some kind of fund raiser for this in the Winter months when everyone is whining about the weather, make them pay x amount of buck into the kitty every time they do? LOL...difficult to track i know, but....

Are the sweat shirts pre warn? And heve the essance of Stelts working his patch ? If so I would like one for our auction. LOL!!

Thanks Dick for letting the cat out of the bag. I'm working with 'a guy' on that very concept. If Stelts didn't drive such a hard bargain the deal would already be done! Unfortunately you all would have to drive to the west coast, which apparently is like going to China. Stay Tuned! Dave, would a piece of galvanized pipe be okay?

Ron, you want nothing to do with Dave's 'sweatshirt'! lol

A very interesting question, how far would you go, to what lengths would you go to get a pumpkin over 1500 if you knew it would be worth one million?

Sorry Dick. I thought the cans were going into the back of the truck when I tossed them out the window. No wonder everyone was giving me the finger and beeping. Next time I go to Topsfield I will bring a bag for the cans.

How about $50K or $100K for a 2,000 lber? That should be much easier to pull off! I've got $10K up for a WR now.
