I myself, scoop the church sidewalks for no charge. Another guy basically does the same for blading the parking lot and drive. The church has offered to pay. I am thinking of drawing the pay and then drop the equal amount in the collection plate. That way the people reviewing the books at the end of the year won't say "WOW, so and so didn't hardly contribute nothing to church in the way of a dollar amount" not thinking about what you have done during the coarse of a year. I also furnish between $50 and $100 dollars worth of supply's a year to church for something else. I consider it as part of my offering to church but since I don't turn in a bill and so on, that doesn't show up on the books either. Thinking of doing the same for that. Turn in bill and then put the money in collection plate. It would be pretty easy to rack up about $400 or $500 dollars worth of contribution to church and not get credit for it on the books. My church is one of them that has a guy that handles in-comeing collection plate money and keeps a tally of what everybody contributes. You have numbered envolopes to put your offerings in. That is how they keep track. If you drop cash in, not using the envolope, then it doesn't get tallied to your name. I am not sure if it would be better to be a worthless no acount when turning in a bill to make it show on books, or be a worthless no account for not contributing a large amount of money tallied to your name at the end of year. Makes me kind of wonder if a guy wouldn't be better off turning in the bill and then get some credit out of it on the books. I know some of my fellow church members don't realize how much people do behind the scenes. I have also had simular stuff happen like with you and the old lady. Do something nice for somebody for awhile and they become inconsiderate and come to expect it. When I was a kid I use to get elderly shut in neighbors news paper (that the paper boy would throw who knows where) and put it right in front of there door. If I happened to not be availible to do it, that's right, the phone would ring and "where's my paper at?". After a few times of being grouchy and bothering my other family members about it when I wasn't around, I had to have a little talk with them. Told them to either be happy when I was availible to do it or get somebody else. Wasn't to long, and one of the other neighbors was hired to bring paper in and do some other additional things daily.

A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
