I think most of you guys probably aren't aware, but I'm a 9-1-1 dispatcher in Marion County. The Ocala National Forest occupies a good 1/3rd of our county.

So since they have to call in extra manpower, they call upon us for a dispatcher to monitor their channel during the duration of the gathering. Every year, they give us a "thank you gift" for our assistance. The first year I did it, they gave us a Leatherman knife with the USFS logo etched onto the blade, the year after that, we got another knife with a seatbelt cutter and glass punch and a custom USFS logo in the handle.

This year, we got YETI cups...

Now, I'm not a brand snob. Frankly, I've been perfectly happy with my $10 Ozark Trail cup and the FREE RTIC cup that I found laying in the storm drain in the parking lot at work.... didn't care a thing about getting one that said "YETI" and paying 4x as much for it. But I was pretty excited when this was the gift. I can always use more cups and I like that the logo is embossed on the side so I have something more than just a plain stainless steel cup. Hey, it's better than a $2500 hammer, right?

Anyway.... thought it was cool of them to do so I figured I'd share.

Maybe because It'll collect dust or I'd lose it faster than I'd own it

They have now spent their reserve and savings account to have it moved and need the electrical hooked up. It's a mobile home.

Good morning guys!

Is anyone interested in buying a 1986 LWB MJ rolling chassis? It's complete except engine and transmission. Had a SBC 350 and 700R4 but we removed those. I have a Renix 4.0L and AW4 to go with it. 600 bucks obo. Need to sell for home repair cash (roof sprung three leaks) and would rather sell it to a good member than go to a junkyard.
