Merry Christmas (early)
So, I'm setting here at work thinking about Christmas coming up real soon and the fact that I have my health a good job and a wonderful wife (took me 2 tries) oh ya, 5 unbelievable grandchildren. OK, bear with me , this does make sense
Anyway, I've been cleaning out the house and I've found alot of things that I don't need or haven't used in a long time, especially books. If you've looked at the barter board, you've seen some of them for sale.
OK, now the good part. I still have some books that have not sold and there are people out there that could actually use these books.
So, here's the deal. I'm going to post a book title and if you are the first to send me a PM with your name and address, I will send you the book. No strings attached. All I ask is that you be considerate of others, if you don't really have a need for the book, give someone else a chance.
Oh, BTW, I might post here or the Barter Board. And, you will never know when.
Merry Christmas.
Steve
PS Thanks to everyone who bought books from me.
Building Small Barns and Sheds by Monte Burch, Book is in mint condition, paper cover has afew small tear. Hardcover

I've just PMed you. Sorry for the typos. I have our 5 month old son in my arms and was very excited about your generous offer. Thanks for being so thoughtful.

You were the first to respond Robert. The book is yours. I actually liked the typos. I just thought you needed a new keyboard or something.
Congratulations,
Steve

Thanks,
Actually, this is a new keyboard. I can't for the life of me figure out computers. I can type more than 70 words a minute with almost no typos. I'm also OCD. I can't configure this keyboard. It is really slow. It takes almost forever to put words on the screen. It's so tedious. I'm really going crazy.
Anyhow, thanks again for the offer.
Robert

I can type 70 words a minute also. You just can't read it. If I try to type that fast it looks like some alien lauguage. Funny thing is, I set at a computer all day and make entries. It's a good thing typing wasn't a requirement for THIS government job. Well, you take care of that little one. I'll get the book mailed out monday after I get off work. I'll send you a PM after I mail it.

Steve This is so nice of you to share your reading material......no telling what good results will come from it. I love to see people trying new things......so many people keep telling people they can't do things for them selves. Just a couple of generations ago almost everyone had to do for them selves. Thanks for being a good friend.......

In the spirit of giving and receiving, and being inspired by Steve and his generosity, I have a book by Ortho called "All About Bulbs". It is free to the first person to PM me. Thanks again Steve!

Steve,
I have just gotten home from the business meetings. I have PMed you but I wanted to thank you again publicly. Your PM said that the post office would take 5-7 days. It took less than 3.
The book is great. I can't wait to build those modular raised beds. They look terrific.
Thanks again,
Robert
