If I didn't loan my stuff out, I wouldn't have any friends. Includes tools, welders, steel, lumber, pipe fittings, nuts, bolts, wiring stuff. We are so far from hardware stores an stuff, it's just what we do. I insist on running the dozer, excavator and forklift myself mostly because everything is old and cranky. Hell, I loaned my best pickup to the UPS man to take to Idaho for buck season a couple weeks back. It came home with a fresh service and 500 bucks in the cup holder. Which I didn't keep, he's got new wife, new baby, and new to him house. I got great neighbors, we are the idiots of our village. Fires, floods, snow, power outages and hard times, we do it together.
