Through no one's fault but my own, I didn't keep up with tech in heavy equipment repair. But since I'm too old to give an honest days work in the field anymore, I guess the timing was about right. Some things don't change though, worn out moving parts, hydraulics, power train. I used to resent the phone calls of folks looking for free advice and tips on how to keep their old obsolete iron running. Now, I secretly enjoy getting a call from an old customer, or a referred call. Since they don't give out medals in my trade, I am well satisfied with a good reputation.
