Away for long weekend
 

I will be away Saturday through Tuesday, September 24 through 27.

If I do not see any objections here by noon today I'll post a list of subscribers.

I've just heard that New Orleans is getting reflooded courtesy of Rita.

Haven't heard how they been affected in Texas other than the evacuation problems. (Heard that 20 were killed in a bus fire.)

It's all a real mess.

Dig in guys! This is for help down there. Let's get the total above $1200!

You always have room for another Luger, especially an unfired one.

List of subscribers
 

I just about didn't get this posted, we had a server crash here.

Noel $100 is in the mail. Bob Benson

Noel, I have a 100 on the way. Thank you for the effort and capital investment on behalf of such a good cause.

To the board, theseare pretty good odds for a 20 buck investment. Noel is doing a good thing here. If you can spare it find your way to the post office.

Noel, my promised check was delayed by a heart attack. It is written and will go off tonight.

Rod, how the hell are you feeling? OK I hope, I enjoy your postings and wish you well!


Ed

Ed, I feel pretty good, thanks. I don't have any stamina; my dog got out today and I went about a half a block after the rascal. We live on a little hill and I was bushed by the time I got back up to the house.

I appreciate the comment about enjoying my posts, but I can't believe you even noticed them in all honesty. I'm such a novice about Loogurs I try to stay fairly quiet. You, on the other hand, always attract my attention with your excellent posts.

Rod, I wish you a fairly speedy recovery. I say "fairly speedy" so you'll be feeling good enough to go to the shooting range before you are certified as well enough to go back to the grind.

Mention has been made of Rita. I'll probably designate the money as relief for both hurricanes unless some one objects.

$100 check mailed today. Bob Benson

unspellable,

Thanks. I don't really have a grind to go back to. I'm retired. I do feel pretty good under the circumstances.

Have you received my check yet? It should have been there by now.

John D. Enough to push the total up to the $1200 lower limit.


Mention has been made of Rita. Iâ??ll probably designate the money as relief for both hurricanes unless some one objects.

If you see anything missing or that looks wrong, let me know.

We are getting there. We at least have John D. whittled down to a reasonable number of chances, but let's push it over the top.

Mauro has an excuse, he cannot legally own a 9 mm pistol for now. How about you other guys?

(Rumour has it that Italy may make the 9 mm legal for civilians in the next year or two.)

Let's finish the raffle!
 

Guys, get the last minute entries in. I would like to have the raffle wrapped up by the end of the month. (Actually, it doesn't matter to me, but maybe it does to everybody else. If there's a clamour to keep it open I will do so.)

Please try to have any pledges in by Monday, October 18. and any checks to me by Thursday, October 21. I will then contact John D. for the last entry. (He will have the last entry by virtue of having pledged what ever it takes to reach the $1200 minimum.)

If we can get all the ducks in a row in time, I'll announce the winner on Monday, November 1.

So get 'em in! Any Luger fan can find a place in their heart for an unfired Luger! It's all for a good cause!

You need to buy tickets to preserve this unfired piece. If I win it is going to meet a lot of little cartridge friends from Walmart. It is a good cause, and even if you dont want to rebuild the New Orleans, save this pistol!

Sorry but it is coming to CA. It will never be fired because of all the legal hassle to get the piece in. It may die of old age.

Jerry

Times up?
 

I think I will call a deadline of 3 PM central time on Friday, October 21 for pledges unless some one argues this should go longer.

There will be a few days after that for checks to get to me.

So come on guys, you don't get a chance at an unfired Luger every day of the week.

There is still plenty to do to get the hurricane mess sorted out.

BTW: If no one objects, I'll send the donation as Gulf Coast hurricane relief without specifying whether it's for Katrina or Rita.

Final Raffle List, check for your name!
 

Here is the list of subscribers as of Friday Noon, October 28.

Check the list, if you see any errors, nowâ??s the time to holler.

John D. Enough to push the total over $1200

I'll post the winner two business days after receiving John's check.

(Unless it falls on Friday, November 3 through Monday, November 7, I'll be taking time off to visit my dad then.)

Mention has been made of Rita. Iâ??ll probably designate the money as relief for both hurricanes unless some one objects.

Guys, my dad is coming to visit so I will be away for the long weekend, Nov 4 thru 7.

I sent a message to John D. but have not heard back from him. Any body know if he's off doing something?

I will leave the raffle open until I hear from John.

John was heading to the Carribean for his marriage...10-day trip or so...

Last chance extended for new people!!
 

John Sabato tells me we have several new members and that I should give thenm a chance to get in by leaving the raffle open untill John D. gets back up to speed.

So it stays open until I hear from John D. Should be soon so if there are any latecomers, don't waste time!

No�«l, I have combined all three of the Raffle threads. Maybe we shouldn't worry about the new folks, looks like its been a loooooong time since you started this Raffle, as it was September 6th, just over two months ago :)


Ed

Ed, I'm not really worrying about late comers so much as getting John D.'s pledge in. I didn't want to make you feel obligated to stand in for him. As for myself it doesn't matter if John or you buy the last chances. ($220 to get us over the limit.) I would just as soon get this wrapped up myself. Maybe John will get caught up enough to look in by tomorrow.

Noel, he's just so happily married that he cain't think of anything but his beautiful bride ;)


And I wasn't trying to be too pushy, just keeping things exciting for the members :D


JOHN, JOHN... :D

OK Guys...!!!

I'm back from work catching up....

Let's wrap this drive up... Noel - draw the winner and e-mail me what Jen & I owe for the difference. I think we are good for it - and it's not like "no one knows where I live" or anything.... Also - Ed mentioned you had tried to e-mail me?? Nope - nothing on my end.... Try any of these:

john@rennlist.com
johnd@rennlist.com
john@rennlist.net
johnd@rennlist.net
admin@rennlist.com
rennlist@aol.com
jdunkle@netscape.net
lfadmin@lugerforum.co....

Nevermind - like I said - it's not difficult to actually "find me" :)

John D.

hey, I copied all these e-mails addys ;)

I also sent you both email messages and PM's in your absence John D. I hope you can find them... :)

Hey JS!!!

I actually e-mailed you a reply from your e-mail (not your PM, as the PM was a copy of your e-mail, which I had already replied to, so I figured one reply to the note, rather than the PM - being the e-mail that is...)..

Well - you get the idea..

BTW - I left you a phone mail message a week or so ago - did you get that?? I wasn't sure from your message of the last 2 digets of your phone number (I thought it was "16"?). If not - some phone mail customer is scratching their head wonder who Jen and I are and what the heck a CSU/DSU is...

;)

Best to you - and thanks again!!

JD
