roster i know what you are saying i work at a suspension shop and i had made some U bolts up for one of our newer customers he came kinda later on in the day and i just shut off the computer for the day and it takes like 20 min to turn on i was by my self and my boss had given some away to our good customers so i told the guy, just take them and remember us some day...  our cost i gave like 15$ away well 3 weeks later we got a big contract from his company because he liked out methods well first job for the guy we made 3000$ and he has been coming back ever since.. i have very good methods in buesness.. and i can remember stuff alright..

well thanks for the information i did pass high school only failed 1 class out of 4 years but made up for it in the final semester. I'm not good in English at all though. that's what i failed but i did go to class every day i think it was the teacher didn't care about the students, i had a new English teacher the next semester and he was cool but i didn't go much because i just did all the same things the semester before... went like 20 days out of like 80. passed with a 50 haha sorry for rambling on but i think i will go through being a small engine mac. QUESTION, what sorts of things - mowers do you get to work on in anyones experince?
