2 things you never loan out, your old lady, and any tool with an engine cause they will come back with a rod thrown in them.
Can't get it here in Wisconsin either.
I think he owes you...did you wash it too?
I have had too many things broken in my younger days to just lend out anything with power. Hand tools are a different story. I would prefer to help someone out using my power tools than to lend them out.
The same goes with lending anyone your nice pickup truck. Years ago I spent a lot of time and money redoing a rot free Ford F350 Camper Special. A good friend of mine was moving and wanted to borrow it. I got my truck back with two dents on the top sides of the bed and a few scratches on the sides. I just had it painted a few months prior. Never since then have I let a friend borrow any pickup that I have owned.
when I worked at the machine shop, my tool box was the community box. Never once had to worry about anything being taken and not returned. if it was broken, it was promptly replaced or exchanged. Didn't matter if I was on the road for 6 months straight or not. Didn't have that luxury at the township and I was warned to keep my box locked where I work now. Fourtanitly I only need my little box at work, my big box and most my specialty tools are at home now.
That would fall into the very few people category. A peeve on mine is returning something in the same or better shape then I got it. My uncle and cousin love when I borrow their equipment. I always need to fix it to use it. I don't complain though, they charge everyone else to use their equipment lol.
New neighbors… have no concept of the path of the sun or seasons… They bought a battery chainsaw and pole saw and hacked up “their side” of our white pines and 25 foot tall yews. The problem is they were over the property line. I talked to them about it when they did some
They likely sell out all of their production locally, so no need to transport it more than a State or two.
My fil turned 88 last week and he's still a baseball fan. Dyed in the wool Tigers fan, but he loved Mickey Mantle.
Out of curiosity I looked up a map of Yuengling distribution. Apparently they are a regional brewery. Here's their distribution map.
At least they don't have to drive to Texarkana and back in 28 hours to get it.
I really like their Lager and their Black & Tan.
My mother is 89 and still watches the Yankees… Her favorite was Reggie Jackson. Mike Ferraro was from Kingston... Mike got her a ball signed by Reggie and Pete O’Malloy during the World Series. That was while Reggie was still with the Yankees…
I wont even loan out a slotted screwdriver or crescent wrench to anyone,not even family,havent for decades.If I have the time I'll take my tools to where they're needed,do the work & return home with them.Nothing stays behind,period.If they dont like those rules,tough **** I say.
