We have an elementary school at the end of the main access street to my neighborhood that would normally get plowed but they're on Spring Break, sooo....

I need to take Gregg's advice and set limits on what I will do for others. I just have a hard time saying no to people unless they have back-stabbed me in the past.

I am the same way. Interesting how many calls I don't get once I got rid of the truck....

It's nice to be helpful, but I started setting limits a while ago. I'm too old for that stuff anymore. It does depend on who it is asking.

I'm pretty sure all of us have some "fair weather friends" ... those who only need us when it suits their need. Sad

Right, this buddy is one of my 2 best buddies in the area. Everyone else I help is for the sake of the wife.

Yup. As a mechanic ive had to limit the amount of help I give others. Limit it to close friends and those who really need it. Advice is free though.

Well, I hope it was an "organized" move where everything was boxed up and ready to go. That makes a HUGE difference in time and effort.

We made the gals box stuff up last weekend while us manly men (panting and resting while chugging sugar free Monster) move furniture, then we took the boxes when they had them packed. This weekend should be easier, he is planning ahead and getting a 26' U Haul so we make one big trip. Everything should be staged and ready to go, so if we get enough folks we can do the fire bucket brigade gig and move tings pretty quick into and out of the truck
