Quality of Service

I believe I can fly. I believe I can do everything. Today I proved it by fixing brakes on my bicycle, changing a tyre and fixing some other minor things :) I'm really proud of myself, because I did it for the first time and without good tools.

You might ask me, why did I spend 2 hours and got dirty instead of paying just 10 EUR in a service? Well, in one service they put me too wide tyre, so it was catching the mud-guard. In another service while changing a bearing, they forgot to tighten a nut and it was creaking all the way before I found the problem.

I'm coming to a conclusion that if you want something to be done well, either you have to do it yourself, or you have to be a good friend of a craftsman. Gods bless all the people, who do their job on their own best for everyone, not depending on their mood, weather conditions, etc.
