indeed... you can help me

i spotted this handy guy (and his friend who happened to also be wearing a white t-shirt with blue jean overalls) right across the street from where i pick up my CSA (community supported agriculture) vegetables. i pulled over near his driveway, and before i even exited the car, i heard him say something like, "Can i help you?" i don't think that he had any idea that the help i needed would be so random... but it was quite nice to be asked, and it led smoothly into my delivery about the project. he was in his element, no doubt about it; he just barely stopped for a couple of the photos, and he worked right through the others. he is an engineer, and evidently, a very friendly human being to those in need; that's good news.
