    I went to my customer's shop to drop off a custom gear to replace a damaged one. Told the boss I had them scooter drive wheels for his maintenance guy. Boss man says he called in, had to take his Mom to the ER this morning. Maintenance guy is mid 60's. Thought he said the scooter drive wheels were for his dad or FIL, may have been for her. At any rate, told boss man don't sweat payment, the guy is taking care of his folks, God bless him! He is a good dude!
