Reply to "CMC wide body still in crate in SC"

My high school friend, Hot Rod Ron ('34 Dodge street rod) once worked on a local farm near his neighborhood. The farmer, Wes, was more than a little eccentric (one would probably label him a "character", especially when he showed up at town meetings) but he never repaired anything that he broke, he just "fixed" it.

If Ron was out on a tractor and something (inevitably) broke, it would take him three times longer to repair it because he had to get through several prior ersatz "fixes" before he got to the root of the problem and figure out a way to really repair it, not just patch it.

That's what "George" reminds me of. Spit and baling twine instead of taking a few minutes more to get the right stuff and make it like new.
