Got-er-done! Wasn't as challenging as some of the previous ones. The biggest challenge for me was staying awake through the videos, shouldn't try doing this when one is tiredzzzzzzzzzzz :D Thanks again Jeff (and Tammy) and the sponsors. This place wouldn't exist without you.

well, that doen't sound encouraging for my future video making endeavors

Nothing to do with the quality of your videos Jeff. I thoroughly enjoy watching them, it's just that I shouldn't try watching when I'm sleep deprived. Keep them coming, please.

I had watched some of the videos before the contest And recognized some of the clues. But, didn't remember for sure which video they were in. So, I'm watching all of them and I'm about 2/3 done.

Remember Jeff, you gave everybody an extra week this year. I bet some folks are just trying to get winter prep work done and planning on settling in on the contest during the Christmas week.
On the other hand, I will mention to those folks that this one will take some time, so don't leave it to the last minute, you will need time to work through it.

In all honesty... That was for me.;)

Just a reminder, there are a little over 7 days left in the contest and plenty of time to get yourselves entered. There are 5 great prizes, but more importantly, the contest is just good fun. If the prizes do matter to you, the odds are really good right now so get your name in the mix!

thecfarm · December 25, 2021, 05:52:24 PM

I enjoyed that video.
As most know, I live here on family land. I hope my parents approve of all of the things that I have done here.
Only had time to watch 4-5 videos, I have some letters.

thecfarm · December 27, 2021, 09:31:14 PM

Gaining!!!! ;D

Old Greenhorn · December 28, 2021, 07:20:23 AM

Keep at it man, almost there!

trimguy · December 29, 2021, 07:18:30 PM

Come on @thecfarm , rootin for you.

Ljohnsaw · December 29, 2021, 07:26:48 PM

Pretty quiet here. Jeff, what's the official entry count so far? 6 or 8? There's got to be more then that...

How about another clue for those that are trying - Give thanks to the most generous sponsor (IMHO) of the FF. ;) (note the style...) (gotta keep it a little cryptic)

thecfarm · December 29, 2021, 08:11:09 PM

Got another one. Does not seem to make any sense yet.
Oh wait!! Why would it?
This is the FF Christmas Contest. :D :D

Jeff · December 29, 2021, 10:39:29 PM

Not many entries, that makes only a few of you so far, special. :D i will say I better not hear about someone accidentally helping someone that worked real hard at trying to get entered to get entered, that's something I just dont want to hear about. Nununununununun.

As for giving you clues to thee that didnt give it a shot? .

I didn't think it made sense either, until I was entering the phrase.

Jeff · December 29, 2021, 10:45:44 PM

Catch that there @ljohnsaw ?

Old Greenhorn · December 30, 2021, 07:53:43 AM

C'mon folks, you've got about 36 hours left and this is very do-able. Let's make it a horse race. Make sure the rules you are working from are the current ones as corrected since the first days of the contest. If you printed the thread out on the first day you might be working with one clue that is not quite correct (#12).

doc henderson · December 30, 2021, 10:00:29 AM

I have watched the videos as they came out, not sure I will get time this year. got the schedule done. finished day 1 out of 5 (nights 12-hour shifts) and I still have to upload receipts for my business expense before the new year.

Jeff · January 01, 2022, 09:48:33 AM
