I wanted to publicly thank Jim, aka fordtudoor on Pinside for being such a great guy. My mother-in-law helped me find a machine in Cincinnati but I was unable to make the trip to pick it up from Chicago. Jim graciously volunteered to come and move the machine out of a basement to my families home on a Sunday morning. Jim doesn't know me or my family, but he volunteered to come and use his own vehicle and tools to help. He treated my new machine like one of his, ensuring that it was packed correctly and transported safely. This hobby has members (especially those on Pinside) that would bend over backwards to help complete strangers. Jim is one of those members and I hope to pay it forward in the future much like Jim has for me.
Thanks Jim! I owe you a beer (or 5!).
