Package...gobsmacked
As you know I'm currently out of work and life is a little tough right now. Anyway a certain member on SRP who also happens to make knives, scales, the odd custom razor, restoration CD's etc sent me a little package.
Now when I say little package I down play it somewhat. It weighed 5lbs and cost $30 just to ship it.
The contents of which stunned me for sometime. Razors to refurbish, blades to refurbish and fit scales to, wood, lots of wood, some tools and some very cool Gucci looking pinning thingy's and other trick bits. Oh.... and two sets of superb finished scales.
I don't ask for charity, I prefer to give than receive and like to think I "pay it forward" more often than most.
This gesture of kindness and generosity had me a bit watery eyed to say the least and nothing...I repeat nothing is expected in return from me, he's made it quite clear.
I am humbled by this fine gentlemans generosity.

Gary,
To slightly misquote Trollope: "I judge a man by his actions with men...". Much respect to you both.

One of the reasons that I joined this group is the character of the people involved. As time goes by they prove that I made a good choice. The best to all of you.

That's so awesome.
Good luck on getting a new job, I've been in a large unemployment patch myself once upon a time and I know how it can demoralize a person (and it just plain sucks to earn a lot less money since it stalls your life). May it come soon!
