Okay so I stopped back at the (Don's) house today. I was on the way to meet Terry and Troy for some grill trading. I figured I would stop by and drop off a couple of the old two rivet style handles for his old grill. I wanted to spread some good cheer around especially after this week of bullshit in the news that has sickened me. I thought it would be nice to help the guy out by setting him up with some new handles and it would be a nice surprise.
As I pulled into his driveway and before I even got to the door he was there and opening it up. Last time he had a irritated look , this time he had a smile. I told him I had just dropped by to give him some handles (because last time I said I would). He said I didn't need to do that and he was very happy....I felt good, as I said after this week, and today being the anniversary of the Columbine Massacre I needed some good mojo.
Now listen to this.....Last time I stopped by and talked with Don everyone said I had some good grill karma heading my way. Well a week later I had two grill deals going good and then both fell through....one of them I was being strung along by some jag off, and apparently he got off on fucking with me and making me drive all around with no intention of selling me the grill....So I started thinking geeze I thought I had some good karma coming my way and now I keep getting jerked around. The guy who was messing with me, he was selling a 18 bud light grill, who I was actually trying to get as a surprise for my wife's cousin. When I thought I had the deal closed I told him and he got all excited. Well as the deal went south over the course of a week, I could tell he was bummed. Then I felt bad because I shouldn't even have told him and it wouldn't have been a big deal. Well I then turned to the WKC and I posted to see if anyone here had a Bud Light 18 and low and behold the WKC came through. Multiple people had leads, I had one on standby in Phoenix, but Terry right here in Chicago had one and we did a trade and it all worked out! The good karma was telling me the other grill was not for me....that wasn't the right one. The asshole had bad karma and he didn't deserve anything. The good karma led me back here and to help other fellow members. I was also able to help Troy because he was in need of some handles as well....SOOOOO the moral of the story is spread around some good feelings...it seems to bay itself back exponentially....
