Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted a contest so figured now was as good a time as any to do it. I am putting together boxes of rocks to sell so as a pay it forward I made up a SFRB for a contest. My truck is getting up there in mileage so how about a guess the mileage contest? Basically just guess what the current mileage is on my 2011 F150. Winner will be the closest to the actual mileage (as noted today, May 5, 2018) and contest ends next Saturday, May 12 at 9 a.m. Arizona time. If the exact mileage is guessed that person will be the winner and the contest will be over (I will try to check in daily just in case there is a winner before next Saturday). Limited to ~~one~~ TWO guesses only please (hope to give more people a chance at it). The one and only hint is that I got the truck used with 46,000 miles on it in 2014.

Winner will receive one small flat rate box of rocks including a couple pieces of plasma agate, Rocky Butte picture jasper, Lavic Jasper agate, and Kramer Junction agate.

Please check out the rock boxes I am putting up for sale in the marketplace on the forum and Good luck everyone!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

	“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
