I admit that aside from your total lack of regard for anything except your time in relation to the flat rate manual that there is clearly a generation gap shown by your attitude and writing style.

That was interesting that you would falsely assume that using Nitrogen and R22 would be a time consuming process when in fact it is almost instantaneous read at the vents with the electronic sniffer. Also, your willingness to ignore your customer having to return later if the refrigerant leaked out.. .at which point you were in the same situation as you started EXCEPT for the LOSS of the refrigerant... but you consider the fact that you do not charge for the second evacuation and charge the redeeming fact.

I have to thank you for being so honest in your answers... you have volunteered way more than I could have ever hoped for in pointing out the difference in value judgments between Owners taking care of their own prized cars and the potential for ' values' other than long range reliable and frugal service to be applied to those cars.... the FLAT RATE MANUAL and its relationship to YOUR paycheck being the obvious one highlighted by you, 69shovlhed.

I have admitted before that I have a bias towards knowing and following the rules. From 18-22 I was an Army Aviator flying a UH-1H Huey including all of 1969 in Viet Nam. Part of that year I was the night test pilot in the maintenance section. Since 1980 I have had my Permanent Peace Officer license in Texas and have worked as both a Deputy Constable and Deputy Sheriff at various times. I have been a welder and farm mechanic for years... So knowing and following the rules in my life could have made the difference between being here and NOT... I am proud to say I have vision in both eyes and all my fingers and toes intact and am mobile.... so you lose on the ' office ' bet. And in 74-75 era I rode my new Superglide shovelhead to SWT in San Marcos from Austin before transferring to UT Austin....
