Nice thought, Darrel... too bad *I* am a business in this transaction, too!

I guess this is what happens when you lie outright on the stand... you win!

Seems I broke our "contract" when, after 6 months of not working on my 
Scout, I demanded he return my truck.. thereby denying him the 
opportunity to fulfill his non-cash portion of the contract...

Of course, he owed me $700 cash on top of that.. and I never said he 
*couldn't* do the work.. hell, I was going to just forget about having 
the body mounts replaced.. I wanted the $700 bones and my Scout back..

But of course, this is all yesterday's news...

Gotta build my webpage around the whole mess and MP3 the answering 
machine tapes of this idiot.. at least I can have a little fun with it I 
guess.
