I'll try and make it on Sunday...but I have plans that I normally do on Saturday nights that keep me out till at least 4:30am. But if it is going on for awhile, I'll try and make it out later... Bummer that it wasn't cooler crew that found it and bummer that the people who did find it, read posts here and didn't contribute, admitedly. But no sour grapes I guess, congrats... Now I have to find out what to do with my time...I too was looking forward to going out tonight....Oh well. I will be out with the shovel next year. The only kind of shoveling left for this year is the kind that nobody wants to do. Think what we could do if the manpower that was put into that medallion were transferred to other things. We could power St.Paul for a year on that kind of juice... Ill be bopping in and out of here for a couple days yet I suppose, but for those who wont...nice working with you and we'll see you Sunday and/or next year.

Big Bad Joe: You used to get responses when you talked about blowing things up. And now your a nice guy and nobody wants to talk to you because nice guys finish last.

I am another bummed out medallion hunter. At least we don't have to be outside hoeing at 3 in the morning. It cracked me up last night when I got there at 1 and everyone was digging viciously. I laughed for the first 10 minutes. It was a hoot! Now I can find something else to obsess about

How about you all? are you bummed or what?

I was out 'til midnight last night and up and at it again from 5:00 to 7:00. Then I went to work and programmed the phone number for the medallion update into my phone. I hit speakerphone and redial so much that when I finally got the message that the medallion had been found everyone who works around me groaned and moaned too! Most of them didn't even know about the hunt until I started giving them daily updates!
