Happiness is biting the bullet and leaving your house after a wicked snowstorm,
...only to discover your next door neighbour snowblowed your front patio, sidewalks, and your driveway. :)
I tell ya... truckers are the salt of the earth!
You save a trucker some money on their fuel costs, ...and you've made yourself a friend for life! :D

Good man good man, sounds like you got a good neighbor there

He is an answer to many prayers by many people (figuratively speaking, ...and probably literally as well)
You should have seen the trash that lived there before. ::)
When the owner who had lived there from 1989 decided to move out in 2004, he rented it to a Christian minister, who had 2 of the biggest juvenile delinquent sons you'd hope never to meet. They trashed the place so badly it wasn't funny. Our quiet safe friendly little street became a hotbed of criminal activity. thefts ranging from kids bikes, stereo eqipment, lawn furniture, B&E's. Anything that wasn't bolted down went missing. not to mention all the drug dealing... cars pulling up at all hours of the day & night etc., pizza delivery people getting robbed, beaten etc., etc., they lived there for years and didn't pay a dime of rent. Despite an eviction order, the homeowner didn't dare enforce it because... they're not the type of people one evicts if you know what I mean. One night, someone decided to send them a message by emptying a gun into their vehicle. I had bullet casings all over my driveway, and on my vehicle. they used my car as cover from which to do the shooting., and sat on my other neighbours front porch smoking cigarettes and drinking coffe waiting for the right time. We only got rid of 'the neighbours from hell', the day a joint police operation held an early morning dawn raid across Toronto & Mississauga on 275 residences simultaneously at 5:00am. i guess they figured they were coming for them next, ...cause they moved out pronto... the same day... didn't even stop to pack. they left and the landlord was finally able to change the locks. He got a new tenant in... a nice gay guy with a huge great dane, and a gorgeous jaguar. Unfortunately when the previous tenants left, ...they left in too much of a hurry, and left something behind in the attic. One night they broke in to retrieve it. It freaked Frank out so much that someone broke into his house, he decided to move out. they didn't steal anything, and nothing else was disturbed, ...but they obviously needed immediate access to the attic. it was such a personal invasion Frank left. for months the property sat empty... no one mowing the lawn, shovelling sidewalks etc., At one point, the door was wide open, and many of the little critters from the woodland area found a safe warm cushy haven from the winter cold. I'm just glad we don't have homeless people in our neighbourhood, or it could have just as easily turned into a flop house for the homeless. Apparently a few of the animals made their way into the walls and died there. The smell was so bad... he couldn't find a tenant willing to stay. he'd give them a break on the rent to fix it up etc., but after a few months they'd be gone unable to take it, ...and the house would again sit empty. Everytime the owner came by... he got an earful from the rest of us about choosing tenants. After having been our neighbours for over a decade, we felt he owed the residents on this street better than he was giving... especially given his vast real estate empire and his ability to hold out for a good tenant. He finally took our words & admonitions to heart, and did better screening of prospective tenants. The whole street was on pins & needles when this family moved in... we didn't know what to expect. After the first couple of weeks we realized we finally had neighbours worth having. They're wonderful, ...and they have the cutest little doggie. :D

Fuel tabs don't save on fuel costs. Let's see what happens once he realizes that you scammed him.
-
wow what a nice man..very cool of him

why ruin a rare moment between Tony and Jag with flamage. No need to turn this into a huge issue. She didn't plaster the post with ads. it's all good. :D
Oh yeah, you're right Hugo! I apologize! :)

He's been using them now for a couple years, ...and his trip tags, mileage reports, and emission readings say something quite differently. His personal truck also runs better, ...and is much quieter too. I hardly notice it anymore when he fires it up at the crack of dawn.

Ya. I was sooo NOT looking forward to shovelling it. I was so thrilled to see it already done.
I was thinking of giving him a bottle of wine, ...but I think he'd probably prefer a two four of Canadian.

Apology accepted. :)

Are you sure there were no other prior favors exchanged for his nice gestures? :-* :-* :-*

Thanks for some effective & appropriate modding. :-*

Other than telling his wife how happy the whole neighbourhood is that they are now are neighbours... no.
They're really happy here. It was kind of funny because one night I was chatting with his daughter, and she kept saying how amazed she was at how friendly everyone on the street was. Everytime anyone passed by their house, and saw them landscaping, they would greet them so warmly with such big smiles. I filled her in on the history of the property, as well as the previous tenant nightmare we all had to endure. Then it all made sense. At first she thought we were all on drugs or something. She had no idea how happy & relieved the entire street was that quality people who intended to make the place a HOME had finally moved in.

Maybe if you stopped scamming fuel caps for a living and got a real job you could move out of the ghetto.

Fu*k that sh*t snowblowers are for pus*ies this is getbig. Get the shovel out, crank the music and get your cardio in!

Are you kidding? Did you read about what kind of ghetto she lives in? The only way I'd shovel snow outside is if 333386 was covering me with a .45 and a 30-06.

Ha ha. I am still trying to get my hands on a good SA 1911 operator.
What about a 9mm and .308 covering you?

weak sauce 333. How about you just get a M40 bolt action rifle and take up a posting on the roof? One shot one kill sniper style.
-
Either of those options will work. As long as I'm shoveling or blowing snow in the ghetto, I wanna be covered.

stick a shovel head on a shotgun and you've got yourself a shield, shovel and sh*t kicking machine.

Trust me when I tell you, ...my neighbourhood is no ghetto.

Yeah...whatever hood rat. ::)
Drug dealing, bullet casings, thefts, homes left opened and unattended so long vermin are walking around = ghetto.

This was 1 abherrant anomaly in a quiet suburban neighbourhood of single family homes.
That's what made it so difficult for everyone to deal with. These types of things shouldn't occur here.
The average home value on my street is well over $600K+
The guy made one bad decision that cost him, and the residents of this neighbourhood dearly!
Don't get me wrong, I've lived among criminals before. When I lived at Harbourfront, I lived among some of the biggest dope dealers, money launderers, and criminals in Toronto. Many of the multimillion dollar harbourfront condos and yachts down at the Royal Canadian Yacht club, were paid for with the proceeds of criminal activity, ...but they were at least the kind of criminals one could live next to. lol. They were the John deLorean & Michael Milliken kind who didn't bring it home with them, and by all outward appearances had "respectable" images, and occupations, ...and you didn't have to worry about locking your doors at night. They did their theivery in broad daylight with the co-operation of politicians and favourable political legislation.

Happiness is getting all bundled up to brave the cold & snow after yet another wicked snowstorm, only to stumble across a full package of chandelier bulbs when you thought your last one had finally burned out.
