"He's not really competent at anything, and I can't count the times I've thought, 'How can you be so stupid?'" Is more of a comment about me than about him. It is what I
thought at times, not what I ever said about him. He isn't stupid, but he does some boneheaded things.
And you are right, it has little (but some) to do with his string of bad luck.
However, this spring he did let some random guy give him an estimate for remodeling his bathroom - $2200 half up front in cash. Daniel gave him $1100, no receipt. The guy walked out the door and has not been heard from since. And he let two convicted felons stay at his house for a week. MrWD kept telling him not to trust them, to kick them out. Instead he loaned them $200 and now his safe is empty.
