I'm dizzy with anticipation! ;D

Yes, be prepared to "PAY OFF THAT MORTGAGE" and clean out the garage for "A NEW CAR", all with the CRPF winnings that could be coming your way!

Did I win.  :o

Hope you aren't losing sleep over it cause the poll doesn't end until Sunday night. BUT, looking promising AND I think we are almost at a record number of votes cast! 28. Maybe we can get a couple more votes by then for a total of 30 (or more)!

Don't run your car over a cliff or upgrade your house by a half million $ or more in the mean time though.

Stay tuned........

I thought it was just a tie breaker, I didn't know it was until Sunday. :D
Better tell the construction crew to skedattle until Monday.  ;)

Well, close enough to Sunday night cut off for voting (what with losing an hour due to Daylight Savings time kicking in and all).

Looks as though Reptile_Master's $5 soft plastic yellow 1956 500 has indeed walked away with more votes than any other entry this month. That means he can invite the contractors back to finish off the 10,000 square foot addition to his house that has the project name "the Phone room". About the time he gets back from the Maserati dealer he should be able to begin installing the phones to finish off the addition.

Congrats Reptile_Master! And thanks to all the other participants this month. Reptile_Master has invited you all over for a soda pop "once the dust settles".

Finally my mind will be at ease! I was really worried there for a while I was going to have to tell everyone "Sorry, I was just kidding, I don't have any money to pay you." What Terry says is true, once I get a 10,000 square foot "Phone Room" EVERYONE is invited, and there will be free drinks and 500's for everyone! ;)

As far as the phone is concerned, it has been completely restored, and I will be using it at my work bench!
