There were several people BUMP'ing one of the older threads last night, doing a countdown to 70K while this thread was doing the same thing.

I believe that is what Free trapper was referring to.

At 75K I intend to start another thread.

72650 BUMP

[Jeff Head]

72700 BUMP back at you.

[KSCITYBOY]

Bumped to hit 100k before by Sat.

[Jeff Head]

I believe the 100K is achievable this weekend, but believe it will be late Sunday if it happens.

I would love to be proven absolutely wrong on that though and have it happen earlier.

Hoping for 75K by about noon Mountain or early this afternoon.

72860 BUMP

So here's where the 'late night' party was.

Countdown to 70,000

It looked like it was too quiet on this thread when I got up this morning.

Sorry I missed your party on the other thread last night.

[d14truth]

[Jeff Head]

Yep, that's the place where they had a countdown partygoing on.

I was at my youngest son's 7th grade basketball game unti just before 70K.

Now at 73125

BTW, Petitiononline has corrected the typos and go the link to the picture changed over to the Tampa Firefighter site that donated space since my bandwidth had been exceeded.

I haven't been online too much, so can't speak to speed here on FR or at the Petition site. Has worked fine for me when on though.
