Wow. Thats an incredible thing for you to do. Karma will pay you back greatly one day.

Well day one was yesterday.

I got up early, went grocery shopping, cooked all morning, cleaned the house, hung an under the cabinet radio in the kitchen and worked 15 hours in the shop.

Dang, I worked harder than I did at work

Oh well, the good news is the wife got a 10% raise at work Friday

The check engine light came on in the SUV Friday and she freaked out cuz it stalled. Last year at this time we had to replace 2 of the coils and that was almost $500 so she was all upset. A trip to the local auto zone and a free check, a $10 gas cap and all is well again.

I gotta go do my chores before going to the shop or the "queen" will whoop me

You saw the right thing to do, then did it. That's a rare trait.

Charles,

"Taking the bullet" for a co-worker is very admirable.

I don't know you other than admiring your work here on the forums. But I will say that to do something like this speaks volumes about the level of character you possess. I tip my hat to you and wish you good fortune in the future.

Classy Chuck. May God bless you.

It's all been said already, but good on you, my man.

May it come back to you a hundred-fold.

Here's to moving upwards and forwards!

So sorry to hear the bad news bro. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Many people I know are currently out of work. Hopefully the economy will pick up within the coming months.
