I borrowed a neighbor's box trailer a couple months ago to move the last few loads of the in-laws' crap out of their old house (when we used to get rain around here). I felt obliged to lend him my flatbed when he asked to go fetch a parts car with it. I failed to lecture him about going too fast on the hills with no trailer brakes, because he seemed to know what he was doing
Well, he didna. He jack-knifed it, bent his truck, bent all three frame rails going to the hitch, and crushed a fender as the car slid off the deck sideways. How he did not flip the rig or run into the retaining wall is beyond my comprehension. I should really be much more mad about this, but I am so damned busy at work and with 3 kids, I just added it to the sh*t-I-gotta-do list and parked it. I will get mad if a parts wagon reveals itself and I miss it because the idiot was talking on the phone instead of anticipating the downhill. He says he will pay to get it fixed. He's not going to like the bill.
On the other hand, there is a kick-*ss full moon out there right now just creeping over the horizon.
