    I was mowing momas yard this evening and while I was taking a break and having a cold 1 talking to moma I keep hearing a awlful sound and went out and a man that lives close to my moma was struggling bad with a bad weedeater. I told him to Try my 56 stihl and finish his weedeating and the smile was BIG. At the end I told him to keep the weedeater and thanked him for checking on my mom from time to time. I live 10 miles away and that is big to me. He also takes my mom to the Dr when I can't leave the work. The smile on his face was STIHL BIG and my hand was shoke off. What yall think

    Good on ya, GRIZ! Generosity is by the grace of the lord. Old country boys seem to have an inate ability to recognize a person in need and help. A very rare trait and hard to find those sorts of people in this day and age!

    Good on you Griz!!! Those are the things I love to hear most!!

    Giving is one of the greatest feelings on this earth! No doubt you made his day!!! Heck, you probably made him a happier man for the rest of his life!! I smile every time I run my Stihl KM 130 R Trimmer! Every time he runs it, he will think of you and smile! Now that's a good feeling! ! :dex:

    I gave a good buddy of mine my first "real" chainsaw....A Stihl 041. He was very appreciative of the saw, made me feel good to give it to him as he has helped me a lot over the years. We recently turned it into an AV, saw still runs like a raped ape and he uses it all the time when cutting with me.

    This is why I love this place! Great job!

    I kind of had the same thing happen tonight. I got to the job I needed to do and needed a second set of hands so I ended up calling the guy that I had working for me this summer anyhow I know he is needing money and I have always paid him well above what the normal going rates are in this area but tonight when they paid me cash I got to the car and as he was getting in handed him the whole thing and told him to go buy that pair of boots that he needs. The look on his face was priceless and I guarantee he will get a great pair of boots and not those cheap Walmart specials. Always nice to help someone out!
