...and we won't tell you if ours was better than yours turned out.

I'm withholding any more suggestions until asked directly.

Carlos is a big boy and can figure it out...

I hope.

Good mechanics don't seem to get what they're worth unless they open their own business.

...and then they spend more time running the business than wrenching so it's a tough situation, or they're much better wrenches than business men and don't make it.

My buddy ducvet has been fighting the fight for years now.

I don't reckon I could run my own business!

Watched my folks run two! Long hours, no real holidays (who'd run your business?) and kids growing up with largely absent parents!

Tough all round!

Hi bro.

Yeah, I'll stay a one man operation for sure.  I have enough trouble managing myself. [laugh] I get conflicted about how much time a job was really worth Vs what's a fair price. Still trying to work that one out. :P

I'm glad you're still wrestling with that! Shows your conscience is alive and well.

If you get to the stage where you get a big head and start charging ridiculous prices and not wrestle with getting that fair balance right, I'll tell you to 'pull your head in!"

I doubt we'll ever need such a conversation though Bro!

You're a good bloke!
