^^^ THIS!!! ^^^

I work in an industry where high availability is the name of the game. Other than dumb cockpit errors, making changes right before an event (we need to rush this in before the holiday!) is THE biggest cause of failures.

Remember that old saying... “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

But then last year we fixed an oil leak on my buddy’s car and then did an 800 mile road trip the next week.

So I’ll remind you of what my mom always said... “do as I say and not as I do!!!”

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
