I know all the guys at the garage where I get work done on my truck. I waited from 08:50 until 09:30 for my 09:00 motor vehicle inspection and GOF to start. One of the mechanics was out sick, another on vacation. They were really backed up and some of the customers were beginning to get owly.

An elderly fellow came in with a brake line leak. Nobody could do pipe for brake lines. I am a certified hoser, so I offered to make up a (semi) temporary fix with a hose from a buddy's shop. Then, I did five other vehicles... just GOF, tires and stuff. I got home at noon. My $60 bill for my work was on the house and, I had a great time.
