Funny you mention that. When I was apprenticing at Mercedes, the Krauts ( affectionate term) always told me " Peter, sometimes one drop of oil can take the place of three mechanics". Also when I was trying to determine how tight to tighten a fastener, they always told me that tight is tight. It wasn't intil I had some experience under my belt and had become a professional mechanic before I understood the meaning.

By the way I graduated from Santa Rosa High. We enjoyed beating Analy. I think we beat Analy.
