Life is crazy sometimes... (Patreon)

So, I wanted to apologize to everyone.  There was an incident with my sister-in-law, and I had to drive up to Missouri to get my nephew.  He is going to be staying with me for a little while, until things get straightened up for them.
While in Missouri, the power steering pump in my old pickup went out.  The brakes are also powered by the same pump, so it turned into an interesting adventure.  A 1-ton pickup with no breaks and almost no steering going almost 80mph through Kansas City is not something I would recommend.  I have plenty of practice driving broken military vehicles, so I was able to downshift and make it to the parking lot of an Auto Zone.  They didn't have the pump in stock, so a two-day trip to grab a kid in distress turned into a week long mess.  
Anyway, I'm back home, and all is good.  I've lost some people over the last week, so I wanted to say thank you to the people that have stuck around.  And I wanted to welcome in the few new people.  Thanks for joining!

I will be submitting the payment for the challenge coins this coming week, so expect an email from me soon for your address.  Don't worry, I won't use it for anything else, or even save it.  Once the packages go out, I will delete the spreadsheet with the addresses on it.  It means I will have to ask for them again every time I do something like that, but I don't want to risk your personal information.  Everyone still here when they come in will be getting at least one challenge coin, but I am also hoping to have some other cool swag in by then.  They will be numbered, so the people with the most tenure will be getting the smaller numbers.  I am keeping the first ten for something special, so number 11 will be the first handed out, with date of joining being the determining factor, not tier of payment.  It's the best way I can think of to say thank you for supporting me.  It means more than you know.
Take care, and talk soon!
