If I live to be 500 I don't think I'll ever figure out what I've ever done that was good enough to warrant the plethora of fantastic friends that God has sent into my life!
I came home from work yesterday and there was a box on my front porch.
That isn't an unusual occurrence but this box was much larger than anything I had ordered.
When I opened it I almost soiled my britches!
This is what I found inside!!!!!

A couple of months ago I was with some friends running saws and shooting the breeze.
One of my friends had a 120SI Sachs-Dolmar that he had gone through and returned to like new mechanical condition.
He spoke of selling it because it just wasn't his brand and we agreed on a price. I told him that I would need a while to come up with the funds and he said that would not be a problem.
I've had a few things come up and wasn't making much progress gathering the $$$ so the last time I talked to him I told him to go ahead and sell it.
There was a hand written note in the box that said...."Mike, This is a gift, you owe me nothing"!
I will not front him out, as I know he didn't do this for recognition, and to reveal him openly might embarrass him.
Some of you will recognize the saw and I would appreciate it if you would keep the name of the previous owner between us. If he wants to come forward that will be his choice.
I just wanted to post this to let you all know how great some of the guys here are and to let him know how blessed I feel to have him as a friend!
