I don't know how I end up in predicaments like this. I guess it is a cross between gullibility and the insane belief that at some point in my life my in-laws may actually prove to be worth a sheet. This story begins with a car hauler and a brother-in-law.
After 20 years in the military I learned several things. One was how to take advantage of the frequent moves. I bought a car hauler many years ago and towed one vehicle along with a few thousand pounds of household goods. They paid me enough to just about cover the cost of the trailer. A few more moves and it was paid for several times. Now retired I find no use for it but my brother-in-law (who works on cars) did. I made a deal to sell it to him for $900. After a handshake and several years I was still waiting for the money. I finally drug what was left of it home and posted it for sale. That got the ball rolling. He was calling me quick to arrange some sort of deal. I said "$900 cash" but he said he was broke. "Not my problem" I told him. Then he said "I have this boat I was working on for my brother but he said he didn't want it anymore". My wife shook hear head as she knew I was a sucker for a project.
