i guess im kinda lucky here, i have only ever had 1 or 2 people never offer to help out . ive fished with a lot of members here and other freinds ,and can count on one hand the number of times that i was not offerd help with expense and the ones that did'nt, made up for it the next time. but normaly i only want 10 dollars becouse the dog only burn about 15 dollars {7 to 8 gal}on the average trip with gas prices at the going rate of around 2 bucks a gallon. and the fuel in the truck would have been used for some thing else if i wasn't fishing
