I once had a deal with a guy who had a horse boarding operation. I  
left my friend's horse trailer parked there, the horse guy filled it  
with stall cleanings--he used a wheelbarrow and ramp--and called me  
when it was full. I would drive over, pull it home, unload it and take  
it back, working in a shopping trip on the way home.
