I posted this pic on the CASE forum a couple weeks ago to ask for info on the rake I had recently purchased. Fella calls me twice asking if he could come over and look at the rake. He shows up one day and I direct him to it. Before even looking at the rake he said he wanted to see the jack. Confused I asked what jack. He said the jack in the pic holding up the rake. I thought to myself if you wanted to see the jack why not say so in the first place instead of the run around. I was not sure of where I last used it so I began searching for it. Not finding it right away the fella said again bluntly, I just want to see the jack! I then remembered I had put it in the back of the pickup. Picking it out and handing it to him he looks at it and says Ya I had a jack exactly like this one and it went missing from my shed about 25 years ago. Looking at it some more he said Ya it had red over spray on it exactly like this one. He said he had never seen another jack like it until I posted my pic. Knowing now what his real motive was I explained the jack I have came in the trunk of an old car I purchased from my bosses father in 1974, the summer I started working for them. He said nothing else other than he seen what he came to see and got in his car and left. No doubt he thinks I have his jack, I KNOW it is NOT his damn jack. I did not know it has red overspray on it nor do I care. It is very likely I am the one that got the overspray on it, I really don't care. I have owned this jack for 43 years and there is big difference from 25, but I am sure he thinks I am lying about that also. I am ------ the jerk would lie his way to even get on the yard and insinuate I have his jack. Apparently he thought that was the only way he was going to get to see it. The strangest part to this whole story is we had been friends for almost 40 years. Thinking about what happened, all I can say is what a jerk, am I wrong? Rod.
