TTF2 Update

Welp, we've got commitments from folks for $200. We only need $100 more and final approval from the land managers. Any luck on a lumber donation?

On another note, being sick sucks! I've got this aggravating sore throat/cough thing going on. Feels like I half a popsicle stick jamming me in the throat. Thank god it sucks to ride outside right now. I'd really be bored if I didn't have that Rampage box set. T-bone's set to get a big screen TV soon so we'll have to have a big DVD party at his place.

I would contact John Hyland at Millard Lumber in Waverly. He has been a HUGE supporter of my cyclo-cross events OR if you prefer, I will give you the lumber from 'cross races after December 18.

BTW, this does not mean I condone you and your hippie log riding friends ;)

Ok, now we are talking. Is there anyone willing to approach Millard Lumber per Jr's contact above? How about it smooth talking nwenn?

Everyone that has committed to MOD's Web-a-thon for "Balance and Gravitationally Challenged" (MWFBAGC), please send you funds to Don Raskey asap (make sure you attach a note "for Manawa" on them). Your support is greatly appreciated!

Hey grumpy old biker, I always heard rumors that you hang out at the homo depo, but now I know for sure!

Scott said...

Its the best place for wood!

I suppose I will wait to hear if you need me to talk to John or not. I don't want to go to him, ask for a donation if there is something already happening...

Thanks for the well wishes boyz. Had the day off today and spent most of it sleeping. Good thing Anne has pain meds left. Works wonders for multiple day nagging headaches.

Looks like we have all kinds of contact's for the TTF's. I might be able to talk to John Hyland, I used to tune his ski's for him and his family when I worked at Scheels. Doesn't he still live in Lincoln?

So it looks like we have commitments up to $250 dollars now. If anyone needs Don's address loot it up on the THOR membership form at www.trailshaveourrespect.org

If it Matters Home depot has been know to give $500 grants to 501c3 groups for projects.

We have not used it up here, but I know of a few bike groups that have.

Might be worth checking out.
