So I go in and guess who's working the counter? The guy with the three boys in Iraq who got HH pocket knives! He just took a look at the air box and then just took it and packaged it up for me for FREE! Tape, box, label, plastic peanuts, the works!

I won't use the word, "karma", but those knives went out with our thanks and blessings upon them. Maybe a little bit of it is headed back our way.

I was just telling the boys about it. Told them that I bought the air box for a guy that couldn't find one cheap. It cost me about $11 for the whole thing, air box and shipping and all. I declined any payment.

I told them that we'd done something nice for that postman's boys and he never forgot it. I said that doing something nice for the guy that needed the air box would likely be the same way...he'll probably never forget it and in turn, he'll hopefully do something nice. Maybe not even for me, but that's beside the point. Others have been nice and done things for me and my family in the past.

I just think it's a great lesson for the boys.

Oh, and that's not all! I forgot to tell you! I found this on the way home from getting the air box at the salvage yard!

Had to log back online to tell you that!
