A Hero With the Boss
A month ago, I took a part-time job working for a company that repairs the gates for gated communities. Electro-mechanical is my background.
At the very first meeting with the tentative employer, he shows up in a grey 2000 extended-cab F-350 single-wheel with a 7.3. I know immediately that this guy has good taste in vehicles. Of course, in addition to his company's needs, we chatted about trucks.
I get an early-morning email from him today, telling me that the truck cranks, but won't start, and could I come take a look at it. Sure, be right over.
Key in the ignition, turn to "on", I can hear the pump running. Crank. No start, and no tach. This is going to be simple.
Reach into my glove box......
My position is secure. He thinks I'm a genius!
Little does he know....... ;-)))
