I hate borrowing

Uggh, got bit again.

I REALLY hate to have to borrow something. Always ends up badly.

Anyhow, I recently shallow tilled about an acre of land to smooth it out.

We never really had a need for a chain drag, but were going to need one after this job.

A good friend of my fathers had a nice, heavy unit. My father is a machinst, and had done some favors for his friend in the past. Never asking for payment, he just mentioned that he would borrow the chain drag one day.

So, we go to pick it up. Now, mind you, my dads friend is 78yrs old. In bad health, and in need of a heart, and lung transplant. Bad shape.

We load the drag in our trailer, and my dads friend mentioned that he just got it back from a guy that borrowed it from him, and that he brought it back tangled up. Knowing that chain drags can get out of shape pretty easy, we didnt think much about it.

Until we got home.

Whoever borrowed it before should be shot. I swear, they must have been dragging in a stump field. Everything is bent, links are missing or broken.

I just cant imagine the type of person, that would borrow something, tear it up, and bring it back, and not say something, at the very least. Also, to bring it back, after someone was nice enough to let you borrow it, with the owner being in bad health, and knowing that he cant physcally fix it himself.

We worked on it for a few hours, and are going to try to get it back in good shape for him. We are going to have to re weld and bend a lot of parts back right, but hopefully, we can get it back in workable condtion for the old man.



Some people.
