I've posted to ADVrider and the Bennington Triumph Bash forum to help get the information out, and sent out an email to my Triumph RAT pack.

When is good for you?

Yes!

Hey everyone, quick update. I stopped by to see AJ last night. The good news is they expect him to be released by the 9th of February. The difficult news is that he is actually doing worse. I am told that is not uncommon with this, but it is rough for him nonetheless. When I last saw him he could move a little on his own if he was careful and slow and didn't move more then a few seconds. When I saw him last night he was unable to get around on his own in any capacity and was having trouble seeing clearly. AJ is a tough guy and is keeping a strong attitude about things but you know it is rough when they tell him that even after he is released it will be at least 6 months before he regains even 85% of his mobility and at least a year before he regains enough strength to go back to any type of strenuous job or ride a motorcycle or anything.

Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Will do, thanks Jason for the update. We should get the crew together after the Drunkathon to visit him in the hospital to present the total amount raised...if he feels up to it in Feb.

done... I may be able to provide something for the raffle too.

Lets keep reasonable goals.

I would expect nothing less from an Army soldier....Aim low ?? .... Is that what they teach you in the Army Doc?

update the damn thermometer...

Thermometer should be up to date. I wrote it to auto update; typically takes about 15 mins. Did something look like it didn't update?

Attainable for the Army is impossible for the Marines.

[Ray-Ray]

Where and when is the raffle?? I work for A liqour vendor and a bar. So I can bring alllllll the booze to raffle off!! We have pretty much everything. I can maybe make some packages as well.... Lemme know what some people drink and I will be more than happy to donate... lemme know.. get better bro

[yesterdayze]

The fund raiser a thon will be at Donny's NY Pizza in Essex right next to the round about. We are doing it Sat Jan 30th at 7pm. Having a liqour package to raffle off would be totally awesome! As it has a bar I don't believe we can bring our own liqour to serve, but they are doing drink specials and raffling a package is an excellent idea. Do you want to work something up and drop me a pm? I would imagine anything you want to work up would be great.

Thanks bro!

Oh yeah, and we broke $1000 today putting us a 3rd of the way there!!!!

*EDIT* - I also updated the event flyer if anyone needs a new copy with the date, location and time of the event.

Jason, for the record -- Donny's is in Winooski, not Essex. You might want to change that on the vtbikenight.com page too.

I don't know anyone on here, and I only went on 1 group ride this past summer. But I noticed that if anyone is in need so many NESRIANS jump in to help out. Even complete strangers. This is a great place full of wonderful people.

I wish AJ a speedy recovery.

I just have to put my thanks in. You guys are great!

Community support has been solid also. We have a couple vendors that are considering pitching in or have already donated. Hannaford's was amazingly nice. They didn't hem and haw or miss a beat, they just jumped right in!

Still, nothing beats the NESR community, you guys rule!

I'm gonna go to a few auto parts stores on Monday and ask about donations. I know at Bond Auto I'm good friends with the manager and assistant manager.
Also, like I said in Doc's post about the fundraiser my mom is donating a hand made quilt for the raffle.
