Title: Found Money
Post by: mznb1u on August 10, 2009, 08:38:04 pm
Well not exactly!  :biggrin: But, after about one year of selling sodas to my kids and their friends for 35 cents, I decided to empty the coin box in the USS 8-64.  Totalled $63.50 not including all of the nickels in the coin mech change stacks.  That equates to roughly 185 sodas over a 12 month period!  :glare:  Of course, the kids know where the key is so maybe I need to hide that better!  Anybody else ever keep track of how much you collect?

In any event, that is another $63.50 that I can donate to my Breast Cancer 60 Mile 3-Day Walk!  BTW--I was contacted today by the walk organizers and I am officially the number one fundraiser :happydrinkers: in the Michigan Walk which starts Friday morning at 5:30AM!  My total funds raised stand at $19,124.50 plus the machine coin will get me to $19,188!  I would like to get to $20,000 before Friday! :hopefull:

PS--I am getting the hair re-dyed for the walk including the beard, moustache and maybe even the eye-brows on Wed night.  I will post a picture after it is done.  I have attached a picture from after the last dye job! :tounge:  In case you weren't sure, I'm the one on the left in the glasses!  8)

                              Kinda shocked me :oh:.                         
                            Well I did keep track the first year and after that I just dump $20 dollars in Dime into
                            a old cleaned out butter bucket and that works .
