When I closed the shop I personally carried their insurance until they got hooked back up, which wasn't too long as these guy's were the very best of the best!!!

I've been out of touch with them for a couple years now, but they would always ask when I was going to fire the shop back up again? IMO, the economy never recovered from what it once was, and doubt it ever will. Those day's are long gone.


If fortune favors me, I will be able to close this shop soon. I'm ready to go back on someone else's payroll.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
