What am I missing, bloke? Why don't you have to pay him?

Because he spent a few hours being Buffer Boy, polishing out and then clear-lacquering those probably corroded old aluminum trim pieces from the '63 split-window that he wants to borrow (in his dreams).

And how has that argument being working for you?

Once upon a time there was something called the barter system. Humans started abandoning it when we started losing trade-able skills.

Oops...I just read over the "polish and re-coat with clear" part of bloke's post. Sounds like a pretty nice system worked out there!

Just remind him that the fiberglass and aluminum will float in any emergency, thus saving him the actual annoyance of recovery...

A young relative- in- law who recut a sail for me and made a new canvass cover for my houseboat, dropped all charges after I bailed him out of jail for a misdemeanor.
He put a lot of work into these two projects. I owe him cash besides but he refuses. I'll show him. I'll pay his wife.

When is the last time you actually PAID for car repairs?

Not counting tires, probably around 1994

Before I learned to do anything for myself... around 1975.

Oh, wait... that was the year before I learned to drive.

Nevermind.
