I just imparted this on a buddy who is getting in over his head. Feel free to use as applicable :lmao:
"Don't claim defeat until the repair bill is at least 3 times the cost of the original problem" :pop:
(okay, it was funny to me anyhow ::) )
what if to determine there is a problem consists of spending half of what the cost of said part would cost to replace? Do you roll the dice on assessing damage and repairing the original component? or call it a loss and purchase the new part?
decisions...
Speaking of in over your head... My motor is out and I'm thinking "how the hell am I gonna put this back together..."

How about the ever more common "Fake it, till you make it" philosophy? That seems to work pretty damn good in business nowadays! :ahhh:
