Cabelas did 20 used rods (which is really what he needs for the leading his troop requirement.) They said the could do more if needed and offered an additional gift card donation as well.

Their trade in Program runs Thru the end of the month so he's going to reach back out them.

And while we were out, our local Walmart called with a $50 gift card. So he got the last 5 clearance rods from them. I think that puts him at around 30 new rods, 20 used rods and 50 more promised from other companies. His original obligation to the DNR was 30 new/used rods. They have about 400 in their inventory right now so this will be a significant boost for that program.

Now if I could just get him to do his social studies homework.

Another update: The bench got sent to the company for powder coating last week. They quoted him $400 and agreed to split the cost with him 50%-50%. He went down and spent $200 of the about $500 of the cash/venmo $$ folks have donated to the project.

The kid is now officially over 100 new/used rods with about a month to go. The DNR asked him if he could do 30.
