Life is good - contest

This last week has been a pretty eventful one for me. 2 years back I messed up my shoulder while wiping my own azz. I topped the scale at 308. I told the Mrs. that I would like to get to 220, but my ideal goal would be 190. This morning I weighed in at 187. I have gone past my goal, and lost more than 120 lbs!
But wait! There’s more! 2 days back I signed my offer letter for a corporate position at my company. I am no longer working in day to day operations! I have 1 boss, and he lives more than 2000 miles away!
I wanted to celebrate. More than that, I wanted to share my joy with the fine folks here, so I decided on a contest… Good traders… Blah blah blah…

In addition to cigars and pins, I also seem to collect board games. I have an obsessive amount of them, which is par for the course for people like us… But guess the number is such a common contest. I want to mix things up a bit. Guess the MSRP of my entire collection! 1 guess per day until I finish figuring it out for myself. Could be a couple days or a couple weeks. Depends on how much free time I get. Wheel of fortune rules apply. If you guess over, the guess doesn’t count. No entering on behalf of other people. I picked up something nice for the winner, and what they do with it afterwards is their own prerogative.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

    Congratulations, Wayne, that's fantastic news.

    We just played Mexican Train (Dominoes) in the back yard today since the board games we pulled out weren't suited for 5 players.

    My guess, $6,022.14

    Thank you all! I did total it up, and there's a couple really close ones in here. I'm gonna throw a pic up for reference. Keep the guesses coming!

    Note: I am not including the Dungeons and Dragons books in the cost. that's a different expensive hobby in and of itself.
