When Johntp bought the Bridwell hammer, I thought "nice", then he turned around and sent it on the road so anyone with a project or desire could use it and then send it on to the next person, asking only that those who used it donated to the bird. I was thinking: "INSPIRATIONAL!"
This even tops that. Wow!

hey there say, toddd.... ohmy.... these are the sweet miracles of life, that show what life is really all about... interactions, of frienship, love, and care, and passing life on to others, and back and forth, yet again, when needs be...
happy new year, with these things to be used, and the new job for your wife, and god bless you all...
say, johntp!!! how really neat... what a great inspired idea...(say, can i use a similar idea for one of my stories?) :)
you displayed wonderful sweet insight into what life is...keeping moving in the sweet kind of love,and the love of life,will always be yours...
god bless you all, with more surprises that continually bear witness to
this, as well...
:)

Cheers Todd. You are welcome. But to be honest there were a slew of characters involved that deserve credit as well. You know who some of them are; many others wanted to join in the deed but I ran out of cams!

...WOW!!!!
My day has just been made!!
And yes, from my own experiences over my time at this campfire, I second (third? fourth?) that the TacoStand DOES indeed have a huge, magnificent, wonderful and never ending heart...
The only trouble is, now some people may think that Todd is a nOOb, with all his shiny new gear. Actually, I would suggest that it's not trouble for Todd, but rather trouble for the unsuspecting souls he now has the opportunity to be able to completely dupe!!
Peace to all,
bb
