    I can work on them for a few hours then lay down or if have a bad bad or a few in a row can layout.

    Made a spreed sheet up to track time, cost, parts, work need, problems found, paper work need, and trending issues.

    Found out that no one else has been go any more and his wife is now bed ridden and not cognitive any more.

    Remind me My priorities have been a to self focused. were planning on going ionce a week to have coffee.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
    when you're struggling with big issues in your life find other who need someone's help/support , that will help give meaning to your struggles.

    I'm not going to argue the merits of the metric system.

    I'm actually on board with it. Years of training makes me think in inches and feet, but metric is the simpler system.

    After 33 months of this illness nonsense I will be heading out into the world to live in a veterans home.
    I want to thank everyone here it's been nice having people who care.
    I hope to be a little more active as I have not been. This was due to complications in my recovery. Bret hang in there I know the feeling just when you're ready to rock and roll, BAM another pitfall. Someday this dirty word will no longer be CANCER with God's help it will be no more. Well I'm ending now as I feel like I ran a Marathon

    Got 2 more units sold last night 1 John Deere Mower and 1 weed eater Trimmer.

    getting pretty quick rebuilding Walbor carbs. the diaphragm carbs are cool when you take time to learn how the work, so is the simplicity of a 2 stroke eng.

    But then if you take the time to learn as much as you can then push pass that point
    to the complex science of any thing it's enjoyable. At lest for me.
