Given your background you might get a kick out of this...........
A 3M rep was touring the field with the local jobber rep one day. We're standing in the middle of the shop when he says "So and so down the road (another shop) isn't as lucky as you to have a nice down draft booth....." Apparently the look on my face was more expressive than I realized when my jobber rep looked like he wanted to shrink into the floor. I looked at the 3M guy and said something like "Luck has nothing to do with it! It takes a lot of effort to get to where you can afford one, and a lot of effort to make it pay for itself." The guy did show his back peddling ability pretty quickly though...........Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Yeah, I'm sure the network of good friends and people helps a lot. Word travels fast when deals come up. My Grandfather always said the same thing to us, and my Dad too. Another of their favorite sayings is, "Shit or get off the pot!" I miss hearing grandpa saying that with his wooden back scratcher in his hand as he shook it at ya. HahaRyan
