The reason Mr. Not so Neutral popped in while I was preparing Easter dinner was that he wanted Chef to fix a scissor lift that he had picked up for free at the junkyard he works at!

This is so he can finish the two-story garage that he and his grown son are working on.  Don't know if I mentioned it, but his grown son this past December was on an aluminum ladder at that same garage and reached out too far causing him to fall off the ladder and break his pelvis.   All of this could have been avoided of course if he wasn't so cheap and instead rented a lift like the rest of us civilized humans do.

Ugh!  Fortunately Chef is on to Mr. Not so Neutral and advised him to contact a local heavy equipment  repair shop.
