I bleed green, Peter Eaton and the Coach #2.

OK now about "The Coach" yep that coach. And my father -in-law. "The Coach" is not my father-in-law.

Both are great men. They have have embedded many men with morals and values that they don't even realize.

That being said they are a little OCD about their yards. Gentlemen, it's grass. It will still be there tomorrow.

First 'The Coach', started something like this.
PA at work, "Paul Clouse" line 3." First off I never get paged with my last name at work unless it is the IRS or a bill collector. Wasn't looking forward to picking up the phone.

Ace, "This is Paul."
'The Coach' "Hey Paul, this Coach". Suck seriously, I was hoping for the IRS. "I broke the bolt holding my wheel on my mower and am going out of town Thursday. I have one strip left to mow and I don't want to have to rent or borrow my son's mower to mow that strip"
First off 'The Coach' has a perfect yard and mows, and bags, twice a week. That one last strip would survive.
Ace," I can probably fix it while you wait if you drop by my house about 6:00."
Coach, " How much will this cost?"
Ace, "Hell if I know, I can't see it from here." First off what did it matter. If you are so OCD about your 1 strip of lawn that you would rent a mower it really doesn't matter.
 Coach' "See ya at 6:00" I could have set my alarm, knock on door at exactly 6. I met him at the garage with my arms spread as the automated door rose and 'Sprach Zarathrusta' played on my stereo. It's kind of a cool effect.

OK Coach lets check it out. He had his son in tow who needed help loading his trimmer head.
Now we are up to 2 repairs after 6 on a day that I just worked 10 hrs on lawn equipment.

Ace, "Putting string in the trimmer is a piece of cake". Took 1 minute. 

Ace, "Let's see what you broke"

5 minute repair, 2 jobs in and out the door in 6 minutes.

Coach, "What do I owe you?"

Ace' "10 bucks"

Coach, "Do you have change for a 20?"

Seriously coach? The son then took charge. "Dad, seriously! Let him keep the change."
