Bob, I certainly agree. I donated to Rickie for his use on electronics. But he can do with it what he wishes.
We had raised $675 for Rickie when we found out Humminbird was going to give Rickie a Mega 360 ..... I have sent the funds to Rickie's Paypal account.
I personally would like to see Rickie use the funds for something for his boat or his Podunk hobby .... but the funds are his to do what he pleases.
Thanks to everyone who donated and showed their appreciation for all Rickie does to help others.

I am sad to have to re-open this thread.
14 months ago, we ended the GoFundMe for Rickie because a Humminbird representative committed to give Rickie the Mega 360. Unfortunately, they were not able to make that happen.
Humminbird did help Rickie upgrade to a Helix G3N, but after a lot of back and forth communications .... and Covid .... they were not able to get the Mega 360 for Rickie.
Being the Kentucky gentleman that he is, Rickie would never bring up.
So ... I am hoping that someone is willing to pick up the torch and we could try to raise funds to get Rickie a Livescope .... or maybe the Mega Live that seems to be on the way. If someone want to start another GoFundMe ... I'm in for a donation.

Man that really sucks to know that humminbird wouldn't follow thru with what they said, I'm not in a position to do anything this week. But next week I'll donate what I can. I've learned so much about electronics just from reading his posts and answers to people's questions. He definitely deserves it, for all the time and knowledge that he shares with us

BobB thanked you for this post
Just a heads up .... Some have tried to donate to the old GoFundMe ... That has ended. I am hoping someone else will pick up the torch and start a new one.
