I kind of agree, get a few more participants, plus, as I said, sometimes we don't always have the time we thought we did. I'm going to add the month of April to the amount of time we have. The challenge will now end on Midnight (wherever you are), April 31, 2020. Takes some of that pressure off of Mike.....

Yeah, so am I. We had a Big Blue board meeting that lasted through the night, but the consensus was that there were probably a few dozen folks just waiting for the outcome before they registered for this challenge.
So, with a vote of 1-0, the extension passed.

Wow, probably the first time there was ever a unanimous decision about anything around here!

Yeah, it's great when the only way you don't have a quorum is to not show up.

I seem to remember that we voted unanimously to install the snack machine in the lunchroom.
I don't remember if we ever had the vote to actually stock it.

In a totally unrelated happenstance (ahem). My friend and I have decided to add a 2 or 3 bay Eggliner engine shed on th JGBSMF&W RR.
Since this just happens to coincide with the Challenge, I will be participating.

Thank you Mikey, I've been waiting for someone to actually enter. I've got my plans, but I didn't want to be the first one to enter.
As for the snack machine, it never worked from the get-go. You do remember the, "chocolate volcano" incident?
Took us three weeks to eat all that chocolate on the ceiling.

Well folks, April 30 was yesterday, meaning that we're heading into the voting stage of this challenge. We've got four entries, we were hoping for more, but I suppose four is enough. Regardless of where everyone is, where things are as of now is what's going to count, finished or not, the pressure is off.
I'll open a voting poll as soon as I have time, today is a busy one, so it might not happen before this weekend.
