I hear you loud and clear Spencer. I'm a bit overwhelmed myself trying 
to get everything else done and ignoring shop work. Tore into a relief 
valve on a IH 454 Sat. Dad supposedly ordered all the O-rings for it 
last summer, I'm missing 3. Going to match them up out of a kit. 
Fortunately it was working, just leaking like crazy. Found one of the 
plugs not tight at all--probably the culprit.

So I closed it, deciding to wait a day.  Plus my better half came down with a nasty little cold.  It's not the flu thank God but she is definitely down for the count. So I had to pick up all the slack on the farm.   Did I mention a sick alpaca as well? When it comes to animal medication that's my job(nothing serious there either thank God but they don't like medical attention so you have to romance them through it (-; ).   So I'm in the barn until 7 o'clock at night. Not to mention I was assigned a new  project at my job. So the next couple days are chock-full of meetings, late night logins, and no way to sneak in late or sneak out early.

The two next to me are very good people whom I like very much and I enjoy their company. One of them has some health problems(cancer,etc) so even though the weather is decent right now I am loathe to start the tractor at 10 o'clock at night and disturb what little sleep I imagine they are getting.
