Oh, if you are counting that, I have no idea how much gas and time I burned plowing driveways and the streets out in front of people's homes with my ATV, so they could get out this winter. The snow plows around here don't cover side roads and we had one hell of a winter. There were people getting stuck left and right in my neighborhood. I spent two full days after on giant storm, moving snow.
People were very grateful, offering money, shaking my hand, old ladies were bringing out pies, the whole nine yards.
I wouldn't take anyone's money, but when old ladies brought out pies, well, I'll just say they were damn good! I tried to turn the first one down, but I could tell it hurt her feelings, so I accepted it. Evidently word got around, because it was like a freaking bake sale over the next two days.
