Rob, the block works great...look Glen has shown us all a lot of things on tables....I call John Burns if I have trouble on antique tables....he's giving me some great ideas on tables...same as Bobby..Jay...Pat..just as I've done the same with them....but do you see any of them on here saying....that's my idea....he's taking credit for what I thought him.
Glen helped start this mechanic's section....he's helped a lot of AZ'ers from getting ripped off by asking questions to the guy they were about to hire....Personally I thank Glen for all the mechanic's I have gotten to work or talk with....people I would've never met if not for him on this forum.
I've given Brunswick a lot of idea's on the GCV.....greatest GC table ever (IMIO) my name's not in lights....and who cares?
Bottom line...who really cares who's idea it was...I'm just glade someone thought of it....Glen's the perfect one to share the Idea with......cause you know he's going to put it on here..LOL
We need to all get along together.....we can all learn for one another.....but the ego of everyone is coming out way to much....I thought the players were bad....the mechanic's are getting worse.
I promise ya this....if you have a horn to blow...someone will blow it for you...I'm not the best, no one is....No Glen....your not either....we're all still learning ways of fixing tables that didn't exist years ago....the things we're doing to rails today....the way we recover...everything has changed for the better.....and who's the ones making the changes......all of us......IF WE COULD ALL GET ALONG, AND NOT CARE WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA....OR WHO EVER DON'T DO THE JOB LIKE THIS....YOUR WRONG....MYSELF, I'VE LEARNED MORE FROM GLEN,JAY,BOBBY AND JOHN....THINGS I THOUGHT I KNEW....BUT LIKED THEIR WAY BETTER.
WE NEED LEADERS IN THIS BUSINESS....GLEN WANTS TO LEAD....ANYONE ELSE WANT TO STEP UP AND LEAD....I SURE DON'T....BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY GLEN TAKES THE LEAD....TAKE IT FROM HIM IF YOUR THE BEST MECHANIC....NOT AND EASY TASK FOR ANYONE....GLEN GIVES THE BEST SHOT.
WE REALLY NEED TO COME TOGETHER......STOP ALL THE BULLSHIT.....HELP ONE ANOTHER.
TRUTH BE TOLD...I'M PART OF THE REASON GLEN'S IN TEXAS......HE DID ME A FAVOR...HE BROUGHT THE BILLIARD TABLES TO ME, FOR MY FRIENDS POOLROOM....WHEN HE TOLD ME HE HAD TO BE IN N.Y TO DELIVER THE GC....I STOPED THAT FROM HAPPENING TO GET MY TABLES TO ME IN TEXAS....FOR THAT I'M SORRY TO THE GUY IN N.Y.....SO I'M PART OF THE BLAME....NOT ALL HIM.
LET'S ALL TRY SOMETHING NEW.....COME TOGETHER AS ONE.
MARK GREGORY
Mark,
Very well put. I think you should lead. I know plenty of mechanics who are looking for someone without an ego to get things rolling.
