Mine too, but the Shriner's are very close. Look into them. They do some amazing stuff for kids. I've got friends and relatives that have been involved in Shriners for years. I think you have to be a Mason for so long before you can join the Shriners.
I've pooled some friends together to buy out the Salvation Army Angel Trees in the area but haven't told them. They put up a tree in malls etc. with the name of a local kid to buy a gift for that people can pick. Some of them don't get picked all off so we've got about $25K together so far to make sure all of them get picked and get gifts. I'll kick in whatever it takes to get them all picked if I have to, but fortunately the other guys are willing help out. We're just waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks.
Me too. I always buy at least 50 tickets. Never have won anything though, lol. Don't really care about winning, but it does make you wonder after all these years I've done it.

Has anyone else seen this latest issue of MM&FF with the article about the new 4.7L Kenne Bell liquid cooled Bigun' blower? Holy **** that is a massive honkin' supercharger!!!! Did you see that dude holding one of them next to the car? They had it strapped on a built motor and it was making over 1700 hp.

The Shriners are pretty awesome too. I've known of a couple things those guys have done for friends of mine's kids. Most people don't even know what those guys really do.

Same with the donations to the Salvation Army kettles at Christmas. Somebody around here puts about $5K at a time in the kettle at local stores multiple times every December. Usually do it about 3-4 times, around $20K total. They always report it on the news but nobody knows who it is, been doing it for years. No idea who it is, but I do know that they only do $5K at a time because any more than that is hard stuff into the kettle, even in new $100 bills without being noticed, it just wont fit without drawing attention.
Sneaky bastard.

Thanks! And I hope everyone had a great day!
Hey, if any of you guys are feeling generous and have it to spare during this holiday season, I'd suggest the Shriners Hospitals for kids and the St. Jude Childrens hospitals. Both are great charities and the do a ton of good work. I've donated heavily to them over the years and have had a lot of interaction with members of the Shriners and St.Judes. They are truly devoted to providing for people in need. Heck, the Shriner's burn units are the most respected in the country down here.
https://www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/donate
https://shop.stjude.org/GiftCatalog/...4262&pID=24671
If you have it to spare and want to do something good, these are both very good charities to donate to as far as national charities go. I tend to do most of my charity donating locally, but both of these are an exception that I don't mind donating large amounts to. I've seen their work and what they have done for local people and the region. They are top notch.

But I've also had to turn selfish. Any funds for outside the region go to Foundation for Thymic Cancer Research. There are so few of us that we'll never get the big broadcast funding like breast or prostate does, nor would there be enough financial payback for pharma research.
So hopefully/prayerfully someone along the way will figure out a specific solution, rather than just using stuff from other treatments that are just a shot in the dark. Someone like this Alan & Barbara Neibauer decided to do something and started the Foundation. Sadly Barbara died but Alan continues the fight for awareness and funding. Thankfully the Foundation has organized research around the world to pull information retroactively to put together a block of cases (just 6000) to study what works, what doesn't. Of which I am extremely thankful for! Everyday!
(ITMIG is the research arm. You're talking about going back through paper records and old file folders... )

ITMIG has been making some significant contributions.
The ITMIG retrospective database is an astounding success.
Approximately 50 institutions around the globe have gone through their institutions clinical experience and contributed their data, thus
creating an unprecedented global database of over 6000 cases. This resource permits progress in ways that have never before been possible.

While I'm yackin.... one of the fund raisers the Foundation does is called "Stinky Ball". When I first read that I thought - they need a new marketing person! Who is going to put on their tux and formal and go to something called stinky?? Much less donate money!
Then I read the back story. The thymus resides in the center of your chest beneath the sternum. The thymus tumor I used to have looked like a squished ball that was pressing against vitals in every direction.
So one of the patients that knew the Neibauer's relayed that when he explained the cancer to his 3 year old son, the son later said "I don't like that stinky ball!!"
Hence the "Stinky Ball" fundraiser. lol

Last night about 5, the mares were spooked and on alert. The boss mare giving her alarm snort twice. The stallions were fine, the dog was fine, I walked down the road a bit, saw nothing. Heard coyotes howling & yipping which is not unusual though the last few years I don't hear them as often as I used to.
Then I read this today. From where OR-7's den with pups was located earlier this year, over to Ft Klamath, down to me, is an easy 45-60mi triangle.
Still wondering how a State with zero wolves since the last ones were killed in the 30's; then the wandering wolf from NE Oregon finds his way to southern Oregon, suddenly finds a female down here.
I still smell bs from the government forest service. I think they transplanted a female without disclosing to the public.
I don't know the difference between the sounds of howling wolves and coyotes.
OR-7, wolf pack in the Fort Klamath area
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Howling wolves were the only audible disruption in the dense fog that muffled Fort Klamath last week.
J.A. *** Ranch Manager Steve Bailey said he heard the wolves Friday from his property near the Fremont-Winema National Forest treeline that buffers Sky Lakes Wilderness from the grasslands of Fort Klamath.
Bailey suspected, but couldn’t confirm that wolves were present, until Tom Collom, a wildlife biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, notified him that signals from OR-7’s satellite GPS collar repeatedly tracked to a spot near Bailey’s home in the Wood River Valley.
“The satellite download took me right to a skeleton,” Collom said.

Monsta buck! 
Russell Moates harvested a one-in-a-lifetime buck, and won the third annual Big Buck Contest sponsored by My Mechanic.
“It is the biggest, I believe, Klamath Falls has seen in many year.” The rack was 40 inches wide and 19 inches high. It was taken in the Steens Mountains.”
Second place in the contest was taken by Mazama High School student Ben Lane, and he used a muzzleloader to bag his buck. “That is quite a task, since (muzzleloaders) are usually only a 100-yard shot, maximum,” Eklund said.
The number of entries for the contest was down from a year ago, but the racks were almost always bigger than a year ago. Eklund said several measured 30 inches wide.

Scott - whatever the IB guru's are screwing with this week, is messing up editing in IE.
After I post, if I want to hit edit to fix a spelling mistake, the edit box is blank.
I try closing tms, logging off and closing, clearing cookies and files, logging back on, and still get a blank edit box - though the post is showing in the thread.
From what I've noticed, its only when I copy and paste items. Seems like just plain posting allows me to edit just fine.
Been noticing for about a week.
Can you have them fix and tell them to please quit ****ing with it??
Thanx!
EDIT - yep this post opens for editing. But my previous Monsta buck post shows blank in the edit box. Seems to be only happening for posts that I have copied and pasted.
