I was happy to pitch in, I helped a friend last night who locked there keys in there car and needed to get in without paying $60 to pop a lock, I got there car unlocked in 3 minutes and they gave me $20 which I didn't want to accept but didn't want to fight over it either, so I was just paying it forward.

I am ashamed to say I just now looked at this thread, I missed it previously. Corey if it is not to late I would like to also match your $100 contribution.
If I missed the salty cajun deadline let me know how I can still contribute and I will take care of it this weekend.

I am not sure about that but you are welcome, like some of you, people have helped me in life when I needed it. When you in a position to help people you should do it.
For instance, this is completly off topic but I have towed in several people throughout the years and of course would never take money for it. Earlier this year it was close to to dark and my 7 year old and I ran over an unmarked crab pot. Our trolling motor was just about dead and it was cold (around 40 degrees). The last boat coming through that evening saw I had a kid on board and they towed us in. I really believe good things happen to good people. Of course good people get screwed some times but this instance was a great lesson for my 7 year old. He was also with me on more than one occassion when we cut our trip short to tow someone in so he got to see what helping people feels like.

That's right Mr. Kinchen! I've always been glad to help someone out when they were in need. That has never done me wrong although, I'm sure that there was more than one person in the woodpile that had ill intentions regarding my generosity but, that's not important.
Just recently, two of our SC members helped with the relocation of my shop in ways that I would never have imagined that people would, or could do! I won't go into the details now but, their help was significant, to say the least! Their response to me when I asked why they were doing what they did was, we've watched you do it for everyone else and now, it's your turn. I'm not an emotional person but, nearly was that day. I was incredibly humbled! In short, watch what you do and how you do. Someone else is watching, too(and it's not just the Man Upstairs!)! Like in my case, I had no clue that what I had been doing all along had been so recognized/monitored. Thanks Eman and SimplePeddler for showing me something I didn't know!
