There is a mob starting to form around this thread. They are all carrying digital torches chanting show us your winner. Please do not mispronounce winner! Not to be confused with a former Congressman not running for Govnr. of New York.

Okay, okay.  I'm done in the bathroom and am ready to announce the winner.  No, I didn't spend six hours on the throne -- just shaving, and that's a five minute job.

Anyway, -- # 22 is/was Jim Larramendy.  Funny -- I don't recognise his name and can't figure out who he sings as when he posts.  And without knowing the signature -- I can't find out stuff like - like who's that?  Come forward and identify yourself, young man, and give me (or Bill Reilly, the very kind and generous sponsor of this contest) an email or PM with your address so we can get the wrench set shipped to you.

Thanks to all that sent in the entry amount(s).  Some of you stepped up and attempted to increase the likelihood that you'd win -- by buying more than one entry.  That was very kind of you.  The site and I appreciate it.  The site?  It's an inanimate object.  How can it appreciate stuff?

The site is happy because the site is all of you, and the site is stronger than ever thanks to your showing here. 

Jim Larramendy, whoever you are, time to come forward and tell us.  Please.

Hey that's my neighbor.

The next best thing to owning tools is to have a neighbor that owns them. :-D

I don't think it's JimL the bike guy.  The Jim Larramendy that won has a different email address (according to the Paypal report that I got to confirm his payment).  JimL's email address, according to his profile, isn't the same.

Jim Larramendy, Jim Larramendy, come out, come out, wherever you are.

Well, since I didn't make that statement as one of the rules -- I think it's best to wait a little while.  I sure wish I could figure out who he is according to the member list - 'cause then I could see if he's one of the regulars but using his real name (on Paypal).  No big deal, I guess, but after a while I will probably say he's had plenty of time to get in touch.  His Paypal payment was registered at a couple of minutes before 4PM EDT on Thursday, the 6th of June.  That's a bit more than a week ago.  So - do I wait a week to hear from him?

This is turning out to be quite an involved deal.  Maybe Mr. Larramendy is really from the NSA (No Such Agency) or CIA (City Insurance Agency) and is trying to get intelligence on us on the Forum.  Good luck on that! :-P

I suspect he will surface. 

Here is what we are going to do. I am sending Jon a second number from the random number generator. He can match that number up to a second place set of wrenches. These are our single sided wrenches. We sold two dozen sets of these last month. The only rule is you cannot win twice so if Jim's number comes up again I will draw again to get a new winner.

How is that?

Hey I hate to see all this concern over who Jim L is and who gets the second set of wrenches.  I am willing to take one for the team and volunteer to accept both prizes.  . . . No? . . .  well, it was worth a try.

Ah, boyoboy, is this internet stuff cool or what?  Bob Clancy did some sluethifying (new word) and discovered that there IS a Jim Larramendy.  We know that he rode an '84 Kawasaki at Bub's in '11 and went 118.713 mph.  And in 2012 his best speed was a 114.601.  More to come.

Bill, that's a fine thing to do, and I'm sure that Tman is very glad that you've added a second set of wrenches to the contest.  Thanks again.  And in the meantime, we'll wait to see if this guy named "Tman" ever surfaces - while we wait for Mr. Larramendy to arrive on the scene.

Calling Tman -- are you out there?

Bump.   Where's Tman? :?  Or, of course, where's Mr. James Larramendy? :? :?

Have you searched the member list by email address (I ASSume that you emailed to the paypal email address)?
