I’m doing a thing...
 
You guys know I don’t come here to promote my business. This is my car guy community and I come here to hang out, even if I don’t get along with all of you. So while this is tied to my business, what I’m really doing here is ask my car community for support. And all you have to do is make a donation to a charity in your own local community. Read the details and let me know if you have any questions. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1591132650.jpg

Donated to Chattanooga Community Kitchen and Second Harvest Food Bank of Mid. TN. (Not $500 so I don't qualify for the credit, but what matters is getting help to folks who need it.) Thanks for putting this out there!

Yeah we know. Everything is a reflection of self, so you think everyone is working an angle because that's what you would be doing. I feel sorry for people like you.

Donated to Dorthys kitchen, Salinas CA

Thanks for the motivation to share our blessings with those less fortunate... good luck in your event.

Have you done anything for your community?

Nice gesture. I sold out first batch almost immediately and will be ordering more. All proceeds have been donated to a local nursing home that has been decimated by the incompetence of Comrade Cuomo

I would be willing to wager Adam's wee, super slow Porsche luvin' ballsack :eek: that the, "hard eye roll" was due to that dude thinking the cause is unworthy, since just like with the COVID, there is a segment of the population that thinks the white-on-black violence stats are a hoax, or that they don't matter since black-on-black violence is so incredibly prevalent (the whole "whataboutidis" phenomena).

Nice effort, BTW.

Thank you to all of you for both moral support and those who have already been making donations in their own backyards. This is what motivated me and where my own personal donation was made. Time to go log some miles...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1591180118.jpg

Hey, nice way to donate to charity and keep us together.

nathanbs 06-03-2020 05:27 AM

Good on you!

creaturecat 06-03-2020 06:12 AM

Matt Monson 06-03-2020 01:48 PM

Here’s the selfish part of it. I played hooky today to celebrate running day.

well done M2. tip of my cap from me to you.

It's hard to believe there are areas with snow on the ground, given the burnass going on here now - incredible!

Matt Monson 06-03-2020 06:45 PM

The snow was near constant once I got 10,000’. That’s about the height of the first lake. Then It was snowfields up to the second and third ones. I didn’t go further but there are two small glaciers past that another 1/2 mi or so. That watch photo was my high point but not quite halfway. The whole out and back was 9.5 mi.

What a gorgeous place to live!

Matt Monson 06-04-2020 05:15 AM

Even after 20 years i still can’t believe if I drive an hour I can experience something like this. There was a lot of gratitude as I was out there yesterday. It was 1 year to the day from when they discovered the mass on my thyroid. A year ago I thought I might be dying.

Pedro '84 Coupe 06-04-2020 06:20 AM

Good for you, man! We donate regularly to local food banks and homeless shelters. I am grateful to have a good job and have means so it's no skin off my back. It would be nice if more people had compassion and empathy for the less fortunate and didn't think of it as "makers vs. takers" or "freeloaders". Many folks who go to food banks for help have more than one job but still struggle and no one deserves to starve in this country. Sorry if I screwed up your thread...

Great pics, btw.
