Mechanic Monday Tip of the Week. Back to basics part 2

Have you been in the same career for a long time?
Since it is easy to forget the early days of a job it is also easy to think that everyone knows those basic aspects of our jobs.
With that thought in mind this next series of tips will be those type of elementary items and the series is called "Back to basics."
      This weeks tip is how to reduce mistakes.
After you have finished a job on your bike or are about to close up a section of your engine or something else that will be difficult to see once it is assembled try this tip. Stop and go get a drink, snack or take a bathroom break. Relax for a moment and think over the job. Often times we can remember a missed step when we do this. Then go back and run your hand with a rag over the work you just completed. Our eyes follow our hands when we clean and can often see missed items or items that we made a mistake on.
