July 27th, 2014:  Hey guys, it has been a busy week. Last Tuesday, I finally traded the air compressor and got a Movado Watch. I had to do some research, and I found out that these watches are Swiss made and they are mostly sold in jewelry stores. It is pretty nice and it is from their Museum Collection. I traded with a guy named David and I will be posting the watch next week. I am not sure if you have seen a pattern for all of my trades, but the average time for each trade is about two weeks. This was the only offer that I got, but I think it was pretty good.

   On Wednesday, I was able to give the rest of the deck money to Amanda from Crosses for Losses. We ended up donating $1700. I say we because like always, many people were involved in making this donation happen. My sister Aubree’s Girl Scout Troop 67 donated $200 of the money. They saw on the Crosses Facebook page that there is still a huge need in Black Forest. Many people now have re-built houses, but don’t have enough to furnish their new homes. Since school is starting soon there is now a need for school supplies and more. They list their current needs on their Facebook page if you want to help. The other person that had the biggest part in the donation of the playground and the $ for Crosses is Jeff, the owner of Innovative Exteriors. Thanks again Jeff!   
   Now for the really big news, I have another deck to sell, it’s going to benefit Colorado Strong, Crosses for Losses and maybe something else (see their FB pages). I am still trying to see what God would like me to do with the money when it comes. I have some ideas, but I am still praying. Let me know if you have any ideas. This deck is the same as the last one. A 144 sq. ft., TREX deck worth $9200. If the bidder needs something bigger, Jeff will give you a bid and take $9200 off the price. I am starting the bids at $4000 again. So whoever gets it will save $5200 unless they are outbid. The deck is now on Craigslist.Tell all you friends that the One Purple Lego Project is still going strong. I will post all the photos soon.I have started working on my Nissan Truck. Tomorrow, I am going to Pueblo to get some parts for it.
