Well, today I will toot my own horn because I just became the 9th member on team PimpRig to hit 1 million points.

It?s been quite a ride since I completed my first WU on 1/1/04. From drafting a letter to Vijay Pande to kick start Mom?s ?Folding in the News? campaign, buying lots of cheap parts and endless dumpster diving to build 9 sub 3ghz P4 folding rigs in my small one bedroom apartment, getting to 8th place on the team, moving and putting all but one in storage for 1.5 years and dropping back down to 15th place, then shooting myself with a framing gun while building an office/computer structure.

After getting the office completed, I set all my rigs up and found that a lot of them where dead. I started upgrading CPU?s and building more computers. At first, all I could afford were P4 3.0+ HT CPU?s but have since added 2 quad cores to do nothing but fold and have plans for more in the near future.

Like I said, it?s been quite a ride, but it?s all been worth it. 2 Million Points, here I come

Congrats to both you and our team Some unfortunate events have given me a major set back in my folding efforts and it's kinda hard to fix things from another country, but come April I'll try my best to get my sh*t in order.

Good for you babe. Remember, we have put our hearts and soul into this. Not to mention all the years. I don't like the idea that soon we will fall below the 10th spot, but it has been a lot of
fun Folding with the best. Pimps, with big hearts and big Rigs.

Fold on with pride,

mom

HEY WHERE'S MY SIG?

"Fold on with pride,

You will always be in the top 10 Mom. Maybe not in numbers, but you are there. Who do you think motivates some of us?

And if you are 'just' in the top 20, you are still folding First Class. The only way to fold.

You know we love you Mom! but geez, we gots thousands of cases of wine! You better be ready to get your drink on! We are a pretty big operation running in a small town. Inventory is over 1$ million

You break in and get it, I will help you drink it...

And when you get passed up, heck they have some power! Eastwingman passed me up like crazy! More points for our team.

The only way to Fold is First Class... Team Pimprig.
