How often do you have to learn a lesson before it sticks? For me it must be more than ten or so. Made the mistake of borrowing a gravity box from a neighbor this fall. I pulled it less than a mile to my house, filled it at the dryer and backed it in the shed, then pulled it out and unloaded it and took it less than a mile back. It had a tire with the cords showing which I saw when I got it. Yesterday he brought the box back to my house and said I wore out the tire and need to replace it. I will because I borrowed it and that makes me responsible for it, but I'm still frustrated. I've helped him many times, welded up his trailer, made him an ash pan for his wood stove, fixed his tractor so it would start and gave him corn for his geese as just a few examples. Don't know why I'm always surprised when the same doesn't come back, it's happened enough that I shouldn't be surprised.
