Lost another tech at work so it's just me doing all the physical work again.
It's an issue across the entire equipment service industry.
Nobody has the skill set, nobody will stick around long enough to learn anything.
Who is going to fix all the things when us old farts are gone?

Yeah..so...just after getting the work done; a deer jumped right in front of me.
I decided it's not worth the hassle and expense of salvaging the title and paying out an additional $1500 above the insurance payout just to have something else happen.
The payout covers what i put into the clutch plus an additional $2000. Right now we are just setting money aside to safe up and hopefully the price of used cars will come down.
I should have went with my gut and replaced the car.

I would like to get a new car but it's just not in the budget.
Don't get me wrong, I luve my Honda Fit and it's gas mileage but it also got 211,000 miles and is 17 years old.
It needed a clutch and has been running a little strange so I bit the bullet and had the clutch replaced for $1700 .
The valve lash adjustment and spark plugs its due for, I'll do myself.

Well..with the exception of the big tractor which is still undergoing some restoration work; all the yard implements fired up and don't need much in the way of maintenance work. The little push mower needs an air filter and the Troy needs a fuse. Its started up just fine but I made the mistake of doing so with a low battery, so it blew the main fuse..prolly because I have a 15amp where a 30 goes so it could not handle all the lightening from the generator but that's my fault. It blew last year because of a small short, 15's where what I had. I could have sworn I picked up a box of 30's...

All together, up and running, copy is perfect.
What's to do ?
The machine has been offline for a while, I have to upgrade the firmware and double check all the image dimensional adjustments.
All minor things that you would do for any machine setup.

I seem to be behind on updates.
Divorce came through . Hopefully william can get his life in order and get off my couch so I can continue to work on the floor replacement.
My car ..it's old.. It needs a clutch and while mechanically sound its got other issues.
My teeth, need a lot of work but trying to save up money.
Tractor, I think i have everything to get it all up and running. Also taking a lot of it apart and fixing it up.
I have entirely too many small projects that need to be completed.
