Are we loaning pallets now? At what rate, and how do I make sure I'm not dealing with a pallet sharker?It’s only 260 posts. Just getting started. Can you say Pallets?

Evidently some horses are high spirited, and just won't quit!
To borrow anything from me you have to be a blood relative (three sons, one son-in-law) and most of the time I supervise the use of the tool or implement. Wifey would throw me out of the house if, for example, I hadn’t lent son-in-law a pump when his basement flooded. Still, I’ve had to do repair work when stuff came back, like a snowblower that was allowed to digest a rock.
As a few previous posters have commented, tool and implement rental shops are there for a reason.
I have developed a defense which I am not really proud of - creative fibbing. The snowblower now “won’t start without starting fluid” and the chainsaw “really needs a new chain”. It’s a strategy that I hate to use but it works.
No I don't, I actually live closer to Colton, but have a Molalla address.When I saw Malala1 I wondered if you were from there, then I thought what are the odds, then I saw Oregon and that was as far as I got.
Do you know Luke and his wife the propane people? Good people.
WOW!Avenger thanks for coming back with an update.
I've been on the receiving end of bad borrowers too. I guess that's how we learn.
Over 30 years ago, I loaned a friend of friend a rifle to deer hunt. I was worried, but it was not a high $$ rifle, more of beater truck gun. It came back same as it went out. He even gave me the partial box of ammo he bought for it.
The next year he wanted to borrow it again. This time I never got it back. He told my friend it was stolen from his car, so not his fault. I have not seen him since.
WOW!
That sucks. But the first thing that struck me is in NJ any "transfer" of a weapon that is not done with the proper paperwork is illegal. They have what is called the "gun range exception" which allows someone to let another use their gun.Over 30 years ago, I loaned a friend of friend a rifle to deer hunt.
