Reel Repair by Alan Tani

I should have sent you some 114 dogs to save you some time.

a few would be great.  also, i need to pay you for the ones that i received in the mail today.  you're keeping track, right?

Alan,your kindness knows no bounds especially now when you are suffering a bereavement. You have taken the time and made the effort to help a young man in need. If anyone ever needed their faith in human kindness restored they only have to read this thread.

A good example why you're our leader. You're a good man Alan.
I'm glad I'm a part of this great site.

Pcde, I would leave that reel as is and never change it. As you already know, that baby is very valuable,
it is loaded with kindness from others and customized by the Master himself.

I hope you get lots of use with it, enjoy it!
Sal

I can totally understand.  When I was going through a difficult time, it was work/hobbies that helped to keep my mind clear and sane.

It sounds like you really appreciate what these guys did.

Like Alto Mare said:

What a gift from some good human beings.
