Just ran into something similar here a few days ago. Neighbor bought himself a wood lathe for his birthday, and he “just stopped by to chat”.
He’s NEVER “just stopped by” before.
Conversation quickly went to something like, “Do you have an engine hoist?” (And I’m pretty sure he knows damn that well I do.)
4 hours later, after getting the lathe off his truck and it into his shop using MY TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT, I could get back to finishing my projects (winterizing everything and getting ready for the snow).
So I’m out there, in the dark, moving things around and pulling the batteries out of trucks, boats, and campers, when I see him walking by with his little “kick dog”. Doesn’t look my way, doesn’t offer to help, doesn’t even wave….
I guess for Thanksgiving this year I’ll be thankful I busted my *** and worked late so I could get all of my winterizing done JUST IN TIME, as it started snowing the very next day.
