Great job Mr. Lusk! I'll mail out my check when I pay bills on the first! I'm sorry to say that I fell off the wagon. I haven't weighed in a while and doubt that I'm down much weight. We're going to dust ourselves off and begin again.

Update on running total. $1702. Sincere thanks extended to Nate Herman, Bing, Ewest, Greg Grimes, Randy Edgar, Sunil, Pedro Rodriquez, and Willis.
Rainman earlier had his tilapia "sale," and donated that $250. Thanks, Rex. I'll add that to the total for the year later, but for now, we'll keep it separate from the Lusk (Weight) Loss Leader. Rex wanted me to remind everyone that Pedro is the one who bought the tilapia.

Also, very generous of you, Omaha, to buck up!
It's a great cause.

I had the rare and distinct honor of walking my ponds and having dinner with Bob, Debbie and Nolan Monday evening...in an effort to pad my bill I tried to tempt him with huge steaks and dessert...no dice - far too disciplined! Guess it's time to fork it over.

Update on running total. $2067.42. Sincere thanks extended to Fatty McButterpants, Dave Davidson, Bob Lusk himself, Nate Herman, Bing, Ewest, Greg Grimes, Randy Edgar, Sunil, Pedro Rodriquez, and Willis. Rainman earlier had his tilapia "sale," and donated that $250. Thanks, Rex. I'll add that to the total for the year later, but for now, we'll keep it separate from the Lusk (Weight) Loss Leader. Rex wanted me to remind everyone that Pedro is the one who bought the tilapia. Also, Rex is donating blue tilapia for the silent auction at the conference (which is coming up soon!). Anyone wonder about the extra 42 cents? I'm sure there must be some inside joke, as it involves Fatty. However, darned if I know what it is.

OK, the mystery deepens. DIED says "I don't know what the 42 cents is either but consider it a bonus. " Fatty, I think this one is on you! Updated total is 2125.84. Thanks extended to DIED, Fatty McButterpants, Dave Davidson, Bob Lusk himself, Nate Herman, Bing, Ewest, Greg Grimes, Randy Edgar, Sunil, Pedro Rodriquez, and Willis; plus Rainman and Pedro for the blue tilapia deal.

Burgermeister--$5.00/lb for each pound he loses…need update from the burgermeister
Shameful to say I also fell off the wagon when my bluegill got big enough to fry up, along with too many fries. Only down 5 #.
I always have a $50 minimum on these deals due to my lack of discipline, so here comes a check for $50.
Congrats, (former) Big Guy. And all the rest.

I'm sending in my $58.00 later in the week. Got a taxidermist coming to pick up a bowfin I did for him to come up with the mullah. Promise!
I also hope to get the former world record redear replica posted on this site very soon that will be in a Amish crafted shadow box of solid Oak. However Dave and/or Eric want to do this will work for me. Winning bid goes to the Jesse West Endowment Fund.
BTW the cast of a large green sunfish is on order. Can't wait to get it assembles and painted the auction at the upcoming convention also for the Jesse West Endowment Fund.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Latest update: is 3013.70. Thanks extended to Dr. Condello, TJ Hudson, Burgermeiser, JHAP, DIED, Fatty McButterpants, Theo, Dave Davidson, Bob Lusk himself, Nate Herman, Bing, Ewest, Greg Grimes, Randy Edgar, Sunil, Pedro Rodriquez, and Willis. Other funds included here are from Rainman and Pedro for the blue tilapia sale, and from Sunil and Cecil for the redear reproduction. The 2009 Auction is already a huge success, and we haven't even made it to PB III yet! Two of our current students will come, as will one former student. We'll have a couple of posters based on their research near the silent auction table.

Thanks Dave. I was thinking of driving it to the conference. It will depend on what I need to haul down there. Maybe I could fill-er up with water and do some burn outs!

Thanks 2cat. Here is the info via Dave Willis at SDSU.
" However, if you would like an acknowledgement of the financial donation to a tax-exempt institution, checks could also be sent to me, and I would respond with a thank you letter on university letterhead that is signed by both Bob and me. I'll put the address below.
Sunil asked who to make the checks out to: SDSU Foundation. However, be sure to put "Jesse West Endowment" on the subject line so there is no confusion over where to deposit the funds! It never hurts to be careful, you know!!
Thanks, Bob, and thanks so much to ALL of you. We'll bring two of the most recent Jesse West award winners to the Pond Boss Conference.
