My son is a mechanic and has his own shop/parts store in partnership with another man. People are always telling me how fortunate I am to be able to get free auto repair and even free parts.
I always point out that I love my son and I pay him at least the going rate for any repair work that he does for me. I also pay full price for all parts. In return, he looks out for my vehicles, advises me on needed repairs, fixes problem "B" while he's working on nearby problem "A", and so on. He has enough shysters to deal with without adding his dad to the list.
I have an aquaintance (won't call him a friend) who has a nephew who is a mechanic. I've seen nephew work on this guy's car all afternoon, and the guy will bring him a half dozen roasting ears or a little sack of tomatoes to show his appreciation. Nephew is lucky to get paid for the parts. What a jerk! It takes two - a shyster and a shystee - for this to happen. Either one can stop it at any time.
My son charges this guy extra so he won't have to deal with him, and also to make up for being shysted by him in the past.
If you like reading the scriptures, the third chapter of the book of Malachi, near the end of the chapter, tells how to treat the laborer.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
