I feel a little guilty that I enjoyed your story so much.

We are back to being the same coin!

Well, except on your side of the coin -- Heroic Handyman with formidable strength to tame the most savage truck beasts in Flannel Cape and equipped with a regular salary flying with a warm heart over frigid ice fields to purchase new machines with the greatest of ease, able to leap a tall truck accelerator with a single bound.

I make light of it but thank God you were able to think so fast and so well and also that no one was around. I am glad you are safe!

S13 yelling at me as I write to make him dinner at 11:30 at night. Not quite the helpful elf you are imagining in your post above.

Anyway, sleep well, glad you are safe!

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage.
Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
