The Merg

It wasn't a guy who worked at the parts store, it was just some guy
who was there. I would never buy anything from the guys that work
there other than the parts I actually need.
I think my buddy gets his welding done by this guy's son, so I'm
pretty sure he knows what he's doing with the bearing press.
Regardless, he'll have to sell it to someone else.
