Dallas, TX | What's going on Hello everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while and not as much as I once did, but my real job has kept me busier than usual.
The problem is that even though I love what I do, work can be stressful and that needs relief.
My favorite stress relievers is playing XBOX-360 video games. Yes, I'm 55 and play video games. Ooo-rah!
As the TDPH Treasurer, I have monkey on my back. He's a little heavy but needs fattening up.
Let's all get this monkey fatter so I can play more video games. You wouldn't want me to get stressed out now, would ya?

I heard about that monkey - he's in need of a good dose of bananas to score a new cruncher |

Ok, I'll do a challenge and match contributions up to $100 total.
The rules are as follows:
Board members past and present as well as hosts are exempt. You guys can be sneaky and I'm not matching your contributions.
People who have made contributions to the project in the past are fine and most of all new contributors to the project are encouraged.
So if you contribute $5 I'll match it, if you contribute $20 I'll match it, if you contribute $50 I'll match it. Once we hit $100 in total contributions it's over.
Time will run out on this offer at 11PM Monday June 2 Eastern Time. If we don't hit $100 by then I'll be upset and stressed out myself but I'll match what we have.
Post that you have pledged a contribution here and Jeff will provide me with confirmations of receipt on all pledges posted.
I don't want to see my buddies getting stressed out.

--we're wayyyy too close now and those quads are great crunchers - just look at Mojo 31's output 
Now as for the rest of you...
..be it $5.00 or more - no donation is too large or too small
And I want our Treasurer (and hosts awaiting new blades) to be de-stressed
Just click here to make a donation (amounts will be kept private):

said by grobinette:Board members past and present as well as hosts are exempt. You guys can be sneaky and I'm not matching your contributions. I resemble that remark, but will gladly donate a brand new White-Rodgers 1F97-1271 Single Stage Programmable Digital Thermostat to the first individual who makes the largest single donation over $25 between now and 11PM Monday June 2 Eastern Time. Board members & Hosts are eligible to bid on this item. Only the Treasurer who sees the amounts of donations is excluded, and his determination of the qualified high bidder will be the winner.
This fantastic thermostat has touch screen controls and a blue back-lit display that can be left on for use as a night-light or turned off. Retail price is in excess of $50.
This digital thermostat will work on any single stage heating/cooling system. It will not work with a heat pump.
Full specifics under IF97-1271 at »www.white-rodgers.com/wrdhom/com···F95-1271
I'll pay for the shipping to anywhere in North America.
Installation is the buyer's responsibility but is not difficult with the enclosed instructions. |

I've have been and still am buried with 'real' work, but let that not diminish how much I appreciate the incredible dedication to TDPH shown by the $$$$ you've forked out.
Announcement coming soon
