Not everyone is eligible, but I'll be getting 600 and putting it in the bank. Too many expenses to justify anything other than that.

What will you do with yours, if indeed you are getting one?

We're getting a total of $1500... but it's already spent... going to pay off 2 credit cards and pay down the last one by a good chunk.

We will "keep" about $200 for discretionary spending (kid needs clothes, again, and so do I).

So much for going wild on the boat project (which is in limbo right now anyway)... :rolleyes:

Ill be putting it all into the boat! Not sure what though. Thinking about a fishfinder/GPS. Right now Im using hand held GPS. Or possibly new back2back seats. And last but not least...the remainder will go towards GAS!

Gas, gas & more gas.

If we boat as much as we did last year, the $1200 will pay for a little over 1/2 our gas this year.

It being a portable winch, you can dray just about anything around. One would come in handy for me out in the woods moving timbers around to be skidded out. I think Bondo is going to use them to drag steel beams around with. Or,,,,,,,,,he could use it for whale fishing :D

Portable winch makes sense... but that looks like a handheld winch??? How would you use a handheld winch? All you could haul with it would be stuff you could haul by hand without a winch, right?

Or is there some way to attach it to things that I am just not seeing?
