Over on the ACME board, they had me pegged as the winner....after reading the posts here, I say Carl wins....besides, he's closer, And I don't have room to put another Cat!

OK, now that ACMOC is up and running again, hope it stays that way. Went down about 15 minutes before the end of contest. To keep it fair, being that it is running on both sites I figured I needed to extend it.
The deadline is now 10/19/ tomorrow 7:00 PM Californy time. Give a few days for the judges to make their decision.
I am not the judge of this contest, but seems that Carlsharp is definitely a front runner. May the best screw up win:D Thanks, Don

Carl Sharp, let me know when you would like to pick up your 22. The ever discerning judges have spoken and you are the winner. Don't forget the BBQ when you pick it up and KO's book when it is ready. KO, I will leave that to you, thanks for your contribution.
Thanks guys for all the stories, some real good ones, and some pretty scary ones. Stay safe, and always err on the side of caution. Don

Wow, I can't believe it. And a KoO book too!
I have read every page of his website.
Tractor Don, thanks for the contest idea and the generous prizes.
I guess I better start planning a trip north!
Thanks to the Judges for their careful consideration and wise decision.
Is there anyone I should visit on the way?
Does anyone have something that needs to move north that I can put in the trailer on the way up?
It'll hold about 8000 lbs.

Carl, you are welcome. Was fun. The 22 is ready any time you are ready to pick it up. BBQ will be waiting for you too. Don

ok, guys, i'm not using cut and paste on this reply.

I would be honored to autograph the book, but it will surely "not" increase the value on eBay or anywhere else:D
King, there is snow all the way down to Klamath Falls Oregon, I will pick you up there if you want to come to the BBQ:D
