I like the story, especially the part about you making it right. I have never had anybody borrow from me and make it right. They usually say, sorry this broke. Hence the motto "neither a borrower nor a lender be".

Right, it is cool he made it right

But 2 lessons learned ~ 1st secure Chit on the trailer like you want it still there after an accident... and second, every time you borrow something look at it like 'am I willing to buy a new one and wind up with this if something goes wrong?'

story was kind of hard to read, but let me get this straight,
You are now going to fix up the cart that flew off the trailer?

No, he had to spend $1500 to keep a friendship

[essness]

I thought he bought a new trailer with higher sides to keep his new cart from coming off
