Saved my neighbor from a potential fall

[Brush Hog]

Drove by and saw a ladder leaning against tree with a limbs trimmed up to that point. He was trying to figure out how to top it with a pole pruner. I told him I'll climb it or drop it whole. He liked the idea of whole. Went back after lunch and wedged it over for him. He was very grateful and I said that I didn't want to see him get hurt. He then fired up his old homelite and bucked it up with his son.

From me too. I have stopped to give clueless people advice before myself. Good karma will come back to you...............

Helping your neighbor avoid a bad situation is what makes you feel good and puts a smile on your face. Doing something as simple as this may have saved a visit to hospital or worse. Thanks for being a stand up guy.

I do it from time to time too, I just ask for some gas money and tell them what it would normally cost.

I just could not sleep if I heard someone I saw got hut bad or died.

I've had guys say hell-no then their wives change their mind for them. One of them gave me a fat tip afterwards "Pay him what it was worth Frank! He saved your but but good!"

Thanks for the kind words. I just go with the old saying " do onto other as you would want done to you". Old fashion yes but I think to many people have the me, me, I ,I attitude these days and I believe good things come back to you in different ways.

I saved a few myself but sometimes I have been told "I know what the hell I'm doing" so then I just walk away as I say a small prayer for them.
