    I know the islands have favorable weather this time of the year.

    And evidently island sisters are favorable also. He posted a thread late one night, which included pictures, and talked about auctioning off ARC and Brandon. I can't say much more without this post potentially going to poofville like his original post. image

    What a coincidence, It just arrived here! So does this mean it is mine after I open it image

    No, you must send it on to me, then I will send it to Utah ... etc. When we're all done with it then the last guy will send it back to you Rob. image

    I may get it out to you today - I went through an entire battery charge worth of pictures yesterday/last night, tough is definitely a good word. image

    I was actually thinking about this yesterday morning.

    I wondered if it had been called off with Adrian selling off Anaconda.

    Glad to see I'll still get a chance to try to see if I can get a decent photo of it. On the downside if rgCoinGuy is just finishing up with it then it looks like I'm still three or four months away.
    I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

    Frankly, I have almost given up on this, I was number two in line and have since improved my photography skills. image
  • rgCoinGuyrgCoinGuy Posts: 7,478 ✭
    I got some pretty good pics, but I am not sure how they will hold up to the rest of the board - I haven't submitted them yet though.... image

    What's all this about Adrian selling off ARC and his law firm? I haven't been able to keep up with the board in quite a while and missed this one.

    I picked that one night to not log in and I missed it too. Apparently Brandon gets a 150K bonus though. image

    I just got word that the contest is on, but the rules have changed. Instead of photographing coins, one is now supposed to photograph island sisters of one's own choosing. image
