A guy who clears your driveway when it snows and you are pulling a twelve hour shift.

My Kubota with the front snowblower will clear just about anything and only took about 1/2 hour to clear.
He has moved and new neighbor has his own equipment. I miss getting breakfast on those days. Was busy at neighbors restaurant with all the plow guys coming in for breakfast.
Got out to the vehicles, fairly long walkway to get there. Had to shovel that out. Low and behold, my driveway was cleared. Woo Hoo!
I loan out extension ladders to friends, (I have several, and the longest in the neighborhood) and Table saws etc. If I really trust you. (Good Karma has a way of coming back to you.)
Called a neighbor, he is there for me. I was stressing, and lost a lot of sleep over this last night, trying to figure out how I could make this work. Gave it some Prayer, it worked out. Very thankful. 1 1/2 hour drive each way, not including the wait time while in surgery.
2 days Vacation scheduled from work in advance. (Thurs/Fri.) 3-4 months wait for the Surgery. (To re-schedule, puts me back again, 3-4 months.) One eye done, one eye bad, has been screwing me up. Looking forward to getting it done.
Good neighbors who will drop anything and help you out are a rare breed.
Very Thankful.
Said, "Hey, that's what neighbors do for each other." [:D]
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be"...good words to live by. If my vehicle is broke and I need a ride I'll call a car rental company. Enterprise will even bring the car to you these days.
Would have like to have done that. Will not get the word on what time I have to be there, until tomorrow or the next day.
1 1/2 hr. each way, not counting the 1-3 hour wait during the surgery.
(And) What if you can not drive home? What about that?
Pretty hard to coordinate a ride under these circumstances, especially in the boonies of E TN.
You?re on your way back to seeing 100% Ken. I know ya can?t wait. How?s Buddy doing? Is he gonna be upset when you start driving again instead of him? (Again, no green font from an iPhone.)
Buddy is doing great Chris. You are right, I can not wait to get this other eye done. One good eye, one radically bad eye for the last three months has been screwing me up.
Will be around $1800 out of pocket after insurance. (Total.) Worth it though.

Does he have a License?[;)]
surgery.

I didn't know they would operate on both eyes at the same time.

Only one eye done at a time. You are put under though. Legal requirements on sedation, bar any vehicular use for 24 hours.
If you can not prove you have a ride home/driver, they will not perform the procedure. They actually go so far as to walk you out to your vehicle to make sure you are not getting behind the wheel.
Wish I had a good neighbor like that.
Pretty Solid group of Guys in this Holler. Quite a few prior Military, even if not, most are Preppers and Shooters. We help each other out on a regular basis.
When/if the Brown Fecal matter hits the Rotary Wind moving device, we are not too bad off, as a group.
