Crikes.... not to mention taking .5 to put air in. It takes me about that to put air in my tires. I have to get a screwdriver, guage, and air tank. Unscrew the screws holding the hubcap on, chase away the earwigs that nest in my wheels, pump up the tires, put the hubcap back on and then go around and do the other side and then put all the stuff away. .5 ends up not being too far off. Actually, my shop would never charge me, because they wouldn't do it. They'd hand me the tire guage and tell me to go get the tank and do it myself. My mechanic divides her customers into two groups: Aircraft owners (i.e., those who are willing to turn a wrench on their plane under her supervision) and those who are "just pilots." One day a guy based on the field came in and said he thought his battery needed checking. Bobbi told him to go bring it in. She got a blank stare for a minute and then said, "Right, You're just a pilot." |
