Been there. Told my genius step-father that his hand-me-down rig (from me) was showing signs of being on its last legs and he didn’t believe me.

Fast forward: it dies.

How do you think he reacted? Yeah.

I looked at him dead in the eyes and said, “if only someone with a lifetimes experience had warned you…” and walked away.

Not my problem. Made him buy a new one.
