Took a few hours and saved him some money and time. So that was a win, except he was going to pay me in scrap metal...but haven't seen him since.

As a rule, I consider such a repair as having the man up to his butt in aligators trying to play catch up. He might well show up in a couple of weeks with a pickup full of really good "stuff". On the other hand, if nothing happens in a few months, remember him next time he's in a bind and get payment (very high) in advance, reminding him if necessary of why.

Me also.

Had pasties for the first time in the Uk about a decade ago. Yummy and a good "on the go" snack. Very filling, sat in your tummy all day.

As to the other meaning, most of the establishments I frequented as a youngster didn't use them as they were just delaying getting to the "money shot"....
