As long as no parts are to be furnished by me (or I've told you that I have the required parts on hand),

please don't expect me to remember all of what you told me you want done to your instrument, unless you actually show up with it and review all of that with me.

This only makes sense, yes...?? (or no?)

I'm doing pretty darn well just remembering who you are...

Sounds reasonable to me! Always exceeds my expectations when I come for a visit.
