Good night, Treefam!
Good night, Treefam!

I got PIFd an istick TC40W and whoever bought it for me asked the vendor to not include a packing list - it would no doubt tell me who the purchaser was - but the return address on the shipping label told me who the vendor was. I e-mailed them and they wouldn't tell me who ordered it (s/he must have a good relationship with them). Anyway, I cruised through their website and the TC40W is only $40 at their online store. I do not know if they are a registered supplier on ECF, so if you want to know, PM me. Mine was a special edition (wood grain coating on the metal - not a sticky - and that was still the price)...the 40w tc mod.....I have found a few for under $50..
Awesome! Just awesome!11/28 #3

Other great news: I got the shock of a lifetime today. I went out earlier to help a neighbor cut firewood. I was "invited" by a friend, not by the old guy (80ish) we were cutting this wood for. When I got there, there were a couple friends cutting cedar with their chainsaws and about a dozen 4-H kids picking it up and stacking. I asked what they wanted me to do because it was very obvious they did not need my help - even the kids knew what they were doing (they're all farm/ranch kids, so this is not new to them). I asked one of the ladies about it and she said the local 4-H club was doing "community service." When this huge trailer load of wood was about half done, everyone quit and went to the old guy's back porch for cookies. I asked my friend if I needed to help with the rest of the wood and he told me, "Not until we get it all over to your place and you can tell us where to stack it." Huh? Apparently he knew what a struggle I was having out cutting my firewood this year and several of the neighbors and all these 4-H kids did all the work. When we got to my place, not only did my friend have lots of cedar posts to unload, but a guy who I had thought didn't even like me the past 10 years brought a horse trailer full of already cut up firewood, which the 4-H kids (four of which were his children) unloaded and stacked it all in my garage. When it was all done, I looked at all the wood and, while I still have some cutting and splitting to do - right here at home - I don't think I need to go out in the field again this year. Amazing! Thank you Universe! (Of course, I thanked all the people too.) Wow!

I am glad to accommodate PIF requests, HOWEVER, The email MUST come from the original winner, not the PIF recipient. The PIF giver will have to do a bit of work!
I better step away and breath and rest.
11/28 - 6: Good night all, I may be off for a couple of days.
