Next month guy comes in again and asks for another hi end kit,I start idle chit chat with the guy while the sales guys grabbing his kit.Turns out the guy is a engineer for an oil company and a recovering alcoholic and by building these kits during the months he has been sober for 4 years,says he had to give a bunch away because he was running out of room in his garage,also said ha has never ever ran run,but he gets to see his kids since he quit drinking and really enjoys building them.

WOW
Thats one expensive habit (the drinking, that is) for him to have to recover like that.
I can understand how it would help though. "Never ran one!"
