That's awesome, nice work! He has got to be grinning ear to ear. Never know, that could be the first call ever made by the next generation's Duck Commander... collectors item.  :tup:

They flew off when it grabbed him, spun him around 6 or 8 times and threw him out the window.... we couldn't find them again so we just finished up without them... got done just before the jack booted osha agent arrived with the obamacare ambulance and the tort lawyer...

Sorry, I tend to react sarcastically to that mentality...

Funny story, I was at walmart the other day trying to return a battery core for the fee refund. This nerd in the TLE finally shows up. I tell him I have a battery core return. He says, "Just a minute." and walks through the back room door.

I follow him. I'm standing at the doorway, the pallet where they stack the old batteries is 15 feet inside the door, I'm standing there looking at it, he's nowhere to be seen.

I go back over to the counter to wait.

A full 5 minutes later, he walks back out... dressed like there's been a radioactive spill in the TLE! He's wearing an ankle length rubber apron, a shower cap, elbow length rubber gloves, full face safety goggles, and rubber boots.

As he's reaching into my cart for my dead motorcycle battery, trepidatious as a bomb squad tech, I just couldn't help myself... I said, "Careful there!!!"

Ok, still holding at 75.

I will accept silent proxy bids, you can PM or email. Send to me before the end ofthe auction, and after the auction I will bid for you in $1 increments above the next high bidder.

The email bidding by non-huntwa members makes this necessary. It's already higher than I expected, I'm going to have to incorporate some investing and saving lessons into this that I hadn't planned on!

Just in case there's more bids, I wanted to keep it fair, so anyone is allowed to silent bid, and I will tally at the end of the auction and only increase the winning bid by a single whole dollar.

Current high bid for Alex's first call is $75. Auction closes Sunday at 2pm.
