Prize winners announcement thread!

[Jode]

haha (anaconda? very fitting!) - Sand is where we began 'playing around' (grin) and a long time ago, too. He was 26 and I 21, and David had a dune-buggy he'd built with a friend and used in the dunes in the SE portion of Calif. (Yuma dunes they were called) I drove out one holiday weekend to see what it was all about, always ready to experience something new, and check out this guy who was teaching me data processing on the night shift, back in 1965. He had a brand new Ford pickup with a cabover camper and pulled his dunebuggy on a trailer behind it. (and, at his invitation I arrived in the dunes way back, almost 50 yrs ago now)...

Last night he commented on those days by saying 'he had to try out that pair of shoes'... haha I'd never heard that phrase, must be a guy thing... we laughed together laying there in bed! I must admit, I was more interested in his camper, tho, I'd grown up back-packing all over the Northwest and it's mtns... a real bed was a rather new idea to use while camping, in my book. I definitely got hooked on 'all' the desert rides! We'd follow sidewinder trails in the sand to a bunch of grass and find the little guy there, cooling himself. Or chase down jack rabbits as they'd run lickey-split across the dunes. The guys he was hanging with, I learned years later, were quite impressed with David's new co-worker. David's boss was also a neighbor and good family friend of David's, and says that he hired me just for David, to this day...

Anyway, sand was already part of who David was, and only fitting that we'd find new colors and textures as we traveled different places. (more words than needed, but your note sparked some fond memories of the good old days! and definitely got me sidetracked from this thread!) lol

Glad I reminded you of your lovely beginnings with your sand man, David. What a great story.

We melt down scrap copper and make new water tube out of it. I actually work in the smelting department, so I am working around 2200 deg molten metal all night

I had a job working in heat treating once. It last 9 months I have never been so glad to leave a job. 12 hour shifts in that kind of environment has to have long term effects on your health. And the heat is unbearable, I feel sorry for you.

Thanks, im not sure whats worse, the heat, or the smoke that the dirty copper puts off, that stuff will choke a person out

I agree, I thought just the other day we need a thread just for this group. Everyone I have talked to during this contest has been very nice and I sure have had some good laughs.It would be sad for it to end.

Does it have to end? Maybe if it get too long or when contest is (completely) over they can connect it to a new thread called "Contest United", or "The 15M Friend Connection". We can keep the fun going till the next big milestone.

well folks today marks 24 months since I last snapped flicked open my zippo and fired one up. How time flys when you are having fun.

Wow, Nicely done!!!!

If they close this thread, I say we start one called the family room. That way all of us have a place to meet up daily.

robino is an expert in carrying threads all around ecf

- and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if she'll pick y'all up when the time comes and set you down in the lounge where you can prop up your legs and await the 50 million in style!

I think that's a good idea. I enjoy coming here after work and reading all the posts and chatting in the evening. It would stink if this ends.

Another thought to throw out here: if by chance this thread does get closed instead of moved, you can always start a thread in the Lounge.

Since moving the thread would cause the post count to go down, that would be my suggestion. Start a thread in the Lounge so we don't lose counts, cuz we are well on our way to the next huge milestone!!

Erm ... where's the lounge?

Help I'm lost!

MAYBE the gang ought to create a thread in The Lounge now. Although it has been truly wonderful that so many new friendships have been forged, I think it has been a real shame that this thread which was meant to be a celebration of ECF and the contest prize winners has been so grossly hijacked.





But that's just one turtle's opinion. Carry on.

Clever lil turtle. It has hasn't it. I don't think anybody intended that and I know you are not saying that any did. Sorry to anybody that may have become lost wading thru any unrelated posts.

aww now I feel bad. Tell you what, do you like kayfuns? I have 4 of the older ones and they're pretty good. I'll send one to you. Just PM your addy to me.

Aw that's very nice of you Hulamoon but I'm good! I have wanted to try a kayfun just because I've read so much good stuff about them, but please give it to someone who needs it more than I do.

I won the Scythe Shined

I thought it hadn't arrived but I found out my husband "put it in a safe place" for me and forgot to tell me lol. This is my first dripper, and it looks a little intimidating (holds 1-4 coils!) but it is soooo pretty! I've watched one video review and the guy really liked it, so now I just need to find a vid that shows how to use it and I'm good.
