\n* \u201cAt 7, I remember hauling produce over the
\nmountains in Colorado \u2013 back in the days where you poured water over the brakes
\n1/3 of the way down the hill into Pagosa Springs\u2026 you\u2019d stop, they\u2019d have
\nbarrels of water \u2013 cool your brakes off \u2013 then you ride on down a little
\nfurther \u2013 then you\u2019d cool them off again.\u201d* Randy: My dad made me back around the plant.* Phillip: So all the way around?* Randy: \u2018Til lunch!* Phillip: Just doing loops?* Randy: Yeah, yeah! Around and around, I had to
\navoid the traffic that was coming through the pits and things like that.* \u201cI\u2019m a half hour early no matter what. Just so
\nthat if something happens \u2013 late is not in my book.\u201d* \u201cAt that point it just let me know that I was
\nmaking a mark. And keeping it that way is part of what I do. I just try to make
\neveryone as happy as I am.\u201d* \u201cDon\u2019t be looking for how it\u2019s not going to work
\n\u2013 see how you can make it work!\u201d* \u201cMy grandfather, he always said, \u2018You don\u2019t have
\na problem unless you don\u2019t have a solution.\u2019 So if something comes up, it\u2019s not
\na problem, it\u2019s something I need a solution for. And I\u2019m going to figure it
\nout.\u201d* \u201cThere were five pool tables in it. So when my
\ndad was in there drinking. I had quarters. That\u2019s to keep me from bothering
\nhim. And I could play at a young age.\u201d* \u201cI was that 70-mile-an-hour guy. Now,
