  53.  @BigLisaFan  good morning I'm a strong believer in repair reconditioning and reusing but for a place a shop like Ray works in for different reasons they have to put a new part in and make sure the part the job is as good as possible so when it goes out the customer will be happy and there'll be no comebacks hey have a good day and I agree with you
    1
  54.  @BigLisaFan  good morning I'd like to make a generalized statement about shops and manufacturing the job needs to go out the door right because if not you could do 100 great jobs and have one bad job and that's the job everybody will remember was in the time you could be doing a new job you reworking or repairing the replacing something that didn't work out right and it cost the business money plus makes them look bad so that's why Ray does his job to the best of his ability and I'm proud of them and I admire his work habits
