Doctor Chapatin

The Cat Operator, Francisco, showed up and immediately earned the nick name of Doctor Chapatin from the Mexican situation comedy "El Chavo del Ocho". Ricardo pinned it on him because of the shape of his mustache, and it stuck. "Dr. Chapatin" is 74 years old and jumps off and on the Cat like he is 15 years old.
He was quite an interesting character. At lunch he always had two plates full of food, so now when ever anyone gets more to eat they get called "Dr. Chapatin.

Dr. Chapatin's sidekick was the mechanic who went by the name "The Italian". His family immigrated to Chile generations ago but he is still proud of his heritage. He is pictured in front of his white Kia truck that could go anywhere. Funny looking truck but it got the job done. We found out that the "Italian" was a member of the church, so his new name became Hermano Italiano. The Italian and Dr. Chapatin are pictured in front of the Kia pickup.
