For quite some time relatives, family friends, neighbors, etc. Have always given me free lawn mowers snowblowers pressure washers and so on that don't run anymore. Ive always taken pride in getting everything running that someone has given me. Well today the opportunity arose and I got offered a free four wheeler. Unsure what it was I hooked up my trailer to my truck and drove over there to pick it up. Turns out to be a 96-98 appx. Yamaha big bear 350 in not too bad of shape! Gave me a plow and a winch with it. Said it hasn't ran in 2 years and he couldn't get it to start and just wanted it out of the garage. 2 hours later after cleaning the pilot jet I was ripping around the yard! Can't wait to hit up the trails and plow some snow with it!

Karma is a superstition. Be thankful you were blessed and if you have an opportunity,,,,, learn from the generosity of others and do the same with things of your own,,, but for you to need to give this machine away,,,,,hogwash. There are no strings attached to gifts you receive but being thankful and willing to give as you receive is a good way to live your life,,,,and it's not called karma unless you are into practicing Asian religions.

Indy, you are right in line with seeing this as the generosity of others. You indicate this has happened more than once. How do you interpret all this and has it impacted your willingness to give?


Maybe some of us are watching a little too much "Earl" lol,,,and all this Karma crap

Semantics ? There is a huge difference and no doubt worth understanding
