| It's the first day of September, its beautiful out, and yesterday I got my truck back without having to go bankrupt to get it safetied.
For those of you who are not on facebook, Ed had taken the truck to the Dealership to have the safety done last week, they had given him an estimate of 5500 to have ball joints, rotors, brakes, tires etc replaced......needless to say, we didnt have the work done as we had expected a bill of a couple of hundred dollars at the most.
I had posted a RANT on my facebook wall and of course was really worried about what the Bleeding heart we were going to do as the truck is our only means of transportation.
Apparently my PAST DEEDS finally did not come back and bite me on the buttercup, but actually Paid Off.....When I used to have the Tack Store I was a great believer in giving kids that genuinely loved their ponies and worked hard to acheive their goals Special Deals and Extras especially during Exhibition week......no biggies, just Twinkle them and their Ponies, and donate money to the kitty for their winnings etc. I genuinely loved it, I had so much fun, I would bring in things for them to buy with their WINNINGS, lots of horsey trinkets and stuff just to make them laugh.......I digress, sorry.........
Anyway.......One of the fathers of a couple of these kids messaged me on facebook and told me he could help with the truck safety and set up an appointment for me where he has all his equipment done. Sooke followed me up into Sydney so I could drop the truck off.
By the time I got home, the garage called me and gave me their estimate of what REALLY needed to be done to have the truck pass. My Cost was 1263 dollars.......a great deal of the work the Dealership said had to be done was bullshit.......the fellows of course did some brakes and one ball joint and new tires and made sure that the truck was in tip top shape before letting it back on the road.
I have always done the things I do with an open heart and not in the least wondering about Compensation......I never realized nor wondered if anyone was Watching ...........But Stan Dicks was............

| It's so nice to know that there are still people like this in the world. I try to surround myself with genuine people - and have made many really great friends. True friends who can help you out without you wondering "what do THEY want?". It sure warms the heart. JJ, you do so much for so many. Nice to see that you've been rewarded! KEEP ON TRUCKIN' (or should I say HAULIN' buttercup!) | |
