This will be a touch of a rant, a touch of a confession and a bit of praise for one good soul.
About three weeks ago, I advertised 6 tool boxes for sale here. I stated I would deliver within 200 miles for gas and food. I received several responses, including some within the specified distance, but the first one was just about 20 miles further than 200 miles away. Ranting, I absolutely cant stand it when forum etiquette order is discarded in the name of a convenient, easy sale of a posted item. So here I am with two people, one 75 miles away(second respondent) and one 225 miles away(first respondent), both wanting all 6 tool boxes. So the temptation is to do easy and 6 years ago I WOULD do easy, but now as a Christian, I have help resisting and despite some initial difficulty in scheduling delivery, commit to deliver them to the first respondent, Jesse Saint. The days leading up to the Saturday 4AM departure out of Hazlehurst, GA for Dunellion, FL were brutal. Little sleep and too much to do. At midnight Friday, alone, I loaded the tool boxes. Four hours later, I departed for the delivery. Jesse and his son were on schedule and the delivery was completed in time for me to return to Hazlehurst and then to work. The end, right? WRONG! a couple of days later, I get a photo from Jesse via text of over $700 of aviation specific tools I LEFT IN A TOOL BOX DRAWER. As I sink like a WWII convoy ship into stupid, I thank God for Jesse and his integrity, honesty and character. After we talk and I offer to return to pick them up, he offers to ship them back to me.
USPS delivered my tools today. Jesse picked up the shipping. THANK YOU Jesse Saint!
But this is not the first time Jesse had done me a good turn. This is A GOOD SOUL. He is trustworthy and deserves your business.
I thank God through Jesus Christ for the HS kick to do the right thing by Jesse, not that my second respondent would not have done the same thing. I share this to publicly thank Jesse Saint, to thank Doug Reeves for this forum and to share my lessons learned.
IHN,
