Tick, tick, tick.
That’s the sound of time moving
steadily on. Each tick of the clock is a
moment that’s precious and unrecover-
able.
It’s a chance to lube a roadwheel,
check a tire’s air pressure, or tighten a
loose radio connector.
Tick, tick, tick.
Do you spend your time wisely? Or
do you put off maintenance now in
hopes there will be time to do it tomor-
row?
The day may come when your life
depends on just how much time you’ve
spent maintaining your equipment. Will
it be ready? Will you?
Tick, tick, tick.
