LOL  When mine go to pot, refrig, washer, dryer, etc.  the repair guy just looks at it and shrugs his shoulders and says 'time for a new one.  I have stopped calling repair guys.

Ray works for the old Bell Labs....he just does this on the side, and has quite a following among us who have discovered his talents....he just likes to fix things, and does it well...

People like that are the true gems.  Chip is like that as is my tree guy, and my favorite veterinarian, and my heating and cooling man, and my appliance repair man.  I had an electrification like that but he quit working after his heart attack.  It's like what they charge for the job is less important that the appreciation they get from me     I think folks like that are more numerous in the country.  I also think that for some reason they like me.  May be it's because they're proud of their work and when I ask to watch they feel flattered.

I bet I said that about my tree guy.  He'll be back as soon as I call him as fast as he can.  (that's from some Motown song)  He's not my type.  I made it clear to him.
