My son is a mechanic and has a soft heart for a sob story. He was always doing a repair for someone who "couldn't pay right now". I remember stopping by his house one cold Saturday morning and finding the young family sitting in the dark. The power company had cut their power, and he was too independent to tell me. Thankfully they were warm with wood heat. I got my generator hooked up for him so he could turn out some shop work.
He has since partnered with a cold-hearted man, built a new shop, and is booked solid with repair work. His cold-hearted partner won't give a nickel to help anyone, but the money rolls in and the bills are paid.
The interesting part: Every now and then someone will come in the new shop and hand my son a $100 bill. They'll say, "Remember when you fixed my car and I couldn't pay you? Here's a partial payment, and there's more coming." Cold-hearted partner is always flabbergasted. I am too. Son had already written off and forgotten the outstanding bill.
There's lots of good honest people in this world, and many of them are down on their luck, but only temporarily.
I might add that many of the folks who "couldn't pay right now" are back on their feet and are his most loyal customers. You couldn't drive them away with dynamite.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
