    Overheard a grocery store employee tell a family that was camping that they’re out of firewood. I asked how much they wanted and gave them my address. Left out ten grand fir splits (not 10,000 splits :jaw:) and a few pieces of cedar kindling and they brought me this!

    Nice!! And nice of you too!:handshake:

    I cut down two huge dead Douglas Firs for a lady down the road a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of work, but she let me keep the wood. That night, she left this on my back porch:coldone:

    Super sweet! It pays to help others rather you get anything in return or not.

    For sure, you can't "buy" good neighbors, you have to make them.

    Very nice JiminyKicket and Cash Larue. I went over to introduce myself to the new neighbor and they chased me away!

    This one came in a big purple bag. I gave it to my son to put toys in. He thinks it’s the coolest thing right now :cool:

    Good neighbors are the salt of the earth and mine are the saltiest :) Wouldn't trade them for anything or anyone.
