A bit off topic but still winery related

I figured I would give you all a progress report on this. The loan is down to $1100 more needed in only 5 days! The ole carrot is on a stick and I am running out of track to chase it! So far there have been 100 people step up and I am grateful to each and every one of them.

Since the weather is wet out today I think I will go get a little more knotty pine and work in the bar area some more.

OK,

You are now down to just a 3 figure number!

Thanks John. I'm hoping the 3 figure number will speed up things. It lists on a trending pattern so the lowering numbers attract more investors. I saw one get fully funded the other day with something like 216 investors and 10,000 in under a day. That is impressive and shows the power of the internet! It was fun to watch it though the day.

 

[JohnT]

OK Folks..

I Will make it interesting..

If the goal is met, I will purchase the following and wear it for 24 hours...

Okay, John, you win. I just went and doubled my stake! I can almost TASTE the foxy badness enveloping your body! Embrace the musk!

Not able to up mine

You might need to try again if you wish. The site was acting up a bit yesterday. I know at least one person who was able to get it to go through after it failed yesterday.

 

[JohnT]

Ok, Just $750 stands between me and everlasting shame...

Here again is the link... https://www.kiva.org/lend/1243479

Lets get John modeling this soon! $375 to go!

 

[ColemanM]

Looks like you're fully funded!!!! Congratulations!

 

[grapeman]

Yes Ibglowin posted a screenshot in the Paying it forward post. I really appreciate all the help everyone gave me. Without all of you banding together I know I would not be anywhere near finished. Now we can all wait to see JohnT modeling the Welch's shirt!

 

[CTDrew]

Congrats Rich on making the goal!

 

[grapeman]

Not sure what happened but I am back to $325 needed! I had kept watching e-mail to see who had done the last $350 to finish it up and didn't see any. Seems must be nobody did! Either that or JohnT REALLY didn't want to model the T-shirt. LOL

 

[ibglowin]

It appears to be a false alarm.......

Now it showing $325 to go still! Lets finish this folks!

 

[ibglowin]

I blame @JohnT since he is an IT guy I believe he has rigged it so as not to wear a Welches shirt!

 

[JohnT]

I am not nearly that smart.

 

[grapeman]

not sure if I believe it or not. $25 to go!
