$64,000 Stretch Goal Removed - Working on New Backer Reward
February 7th - via: kickstarter.com

I'm still at death's door - this cold just won't go away. I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. But enough about me. Weed/Pest Stretch GoalI did crawl out of bed long enough today to add a weed/pest stretch goal at $60K - a simple goal given... (Read More)
