    Minified charity pledge...

    It has been told that Susan, AKA Minified, intends to just hang out in Fontana during the Dragon meet and not make any passes on Route 129! I have also heard that Twister bet her $20 that she would change her mind before it was all over too. Well since this is a charity event, I will pledge $10 towards our charity to see her make a run with us! Join me with a pledge of what ever amount you would like and let's see what it takes to get her through the turns, all 318 of them!

    I'm in for $20. You should all know, I (finally) paid Susan $20 I owed her for entering me in a tire raffle months ago and she immediately donated it to the Speedway Children's Charity on the spot. Now we can help dig a well in Africa while we get Susan to make good use of her freshly honed drivings skills!

    Susan, thanks in advance for being such a good sport about this, you know you're in for it! ;-)

    Sorry for the delay in this reply -- but ...

    just as a clarification -- I told Twister I'd be going to the Dragon as an OBSERVER and perhaps as a PASSENGER (depending on who's doing the driving!) this year, but I was not going to drive.

    Twister then bet me $20 that I would get there and change my mind and decide to drive.
    I replied that now that I had incentive NOT TO -- ie if I didn't drive he'd have to fork over $20, there was no way I was going to drive ..

    And I think somehow this idea was generated "out of context", as they say ... I was going to have $20 in my pocket NOT to drive ...

    And I'm sure it is a lovely drive and I look forward to driving it sometime next year (May looking doubtful that I'll attend since I'm saving vacation time for ice cream next summer!) but I won't be driving it this year .. I'm going to see it, and for the friends and social end of the event, and to have a great time as I know I will ..

    Sooo .. please change up your bets.
    The proceeds of which can certainly be designated to the bloodwatermission charity .. but if you want to ensure your donations then please make the bet that I *don't* drive ...

    If I DO change my mind and decide to drive, you win the bet, save your money, and *I* will personally put up the equivalent of whatever has been pledged so that there's no way the BWM charity can lose, fair enough?

    I appreciate all of the confidence in my driving abilities that this wager obviously reflected -- either that or y'all knew my attempting the drive would be good for a laugh worthy of your donation :-) -- and I look forward to spending time with the MINI friends and meeting many more!

    I'm ready, let's GO!

    Susan, do what I did last year, go out pre-dawn, very little traffic, mist on that lake next to Hellbender, just beautiful and you can drive your own pace. Then on the way back to Fontana, stop at the corner cafe and get a home cooked breakfast.

    Returning to Fontana before anybody wakes up, you can admit or deny your driving, however you prefer! ;-)

    As it is, I think we're all just looking for excuses to donate to BWM, and NO I'm not shaving my legs!

    Rainy weather contingency / alternate plans ... idea ...

    I've made a bunch of extra chili -- and desserts -- since once upon a time I had 3 Palmers (ok, one "pseudo" Palmer) coming along ... and I have a cabin reserved so a little extra room -- offering open invitation for club members to use the cabin for a congregating spot during the grill dinner on Saturday night , since if it's rainy or cold it's doubtful anyone will want to picnic -- come on over and help knock out some of the extras I won't be carrying back!

    Yup, there's a catch. As an idea for a BWM fundraiser, I need as many THMMC autographs on 4 different 6-pack beer cartons as possible .. so if you join me, be prepared to have to grab a marker and sign!! :-)
    Additional details to come .. :-)

    See you soon! I am soooo ready! Rain or shine, it's gonna be a blast!

    Had a great time -- proof positive it *can* be done without actually driving the Dragon :-)

    For those of you who made bets that I would relent and actually drive, you lose, please forward your charitable contributions to Jason :-)

    The additional BWM donations that were made at the Beer Swap/Potluck at # 424 totaled $47 -- thanks to all who participated and contributed. (Jason, PM your address to send a check to)

    I have not yet figured out "how" to turn the beer I swapped for into a charity fundraiser for Hope's MINA project, if anyone has any ideas. Thank you also to everyone who autographed the beer cartons that will surely become collector's items :-) ... not sure if a silent auction via PM and I'll deliver (I have 3 six packs of assorted beer) or a raffle at our next event (presuming it lasts til then with all the boys around here!) .. anyone have any other ideas, let me know! (except you, Ben, since I know all of your ideas will involve you drinking it .. :-))

    Thanks again to all who contributed to the planning and the fun of this event!

    I think Jason said that the event raised $400 .. sounds like from the Brew Swap donations ($47) and Twister's lost bet, that may get to $500 yet ...

    (Thanks, Mark for the challenge -- I have something to look forward to next year :-))
