small engine repair

[Hotzcatz]

I never have anything new for Bobby to fix but he does a great job on it anyway. Generally he gets all dismal and tells me they haven't made any parts for whatever it is for a long time and it will probably never run again and ... (he's Portugese - this goes on for quite awhile). Of course, while he is telling me all this grim and terrible news, he's running his hands over the machine and parts come off, get cleaned, get put back on, a few new parts appear out of as far as I can tell thin air and then while he's telling me it will probably never run again he starts it up and it purrs perfectly. He's very local and very good at fixing small engines and being extremely polite and respectful to him increases the likelyhood of the machine being repaired very fast, too.
