As you should.  I might actually start a bike today....   
The vet has the last of the rockers so the 996 should be all better soon.

The Monster is in the barn awaiting it's inaugural ride (need to get a mirror glass cut)

Things are coming together.

I'm kinda worried about the vet though...he's gonna burn out. :-\

'Ning

I know about the burn-out thing first hand...  happened in Feb of last year for me...  Nearly closed FlightCycles on like a daily basis.  Would've done it to were it not for certain people in my life telling me 'NO'.  

Got some  [coffee] working it's way through my veins now...  And have 3 dogs keeping me warm on the sofa.  [thumbsup]

No  [bacon] or other breakfast foods and my tummy's growlin'...

I was in the same situation this winter.

I worked 41 days straight.

Dumbest thing I've done in a while.

I had a good January, but it ruined February and March

My meltdown actually started in early Feb when I realized I lived the entire month of January on a parts deposit for a custom bike.  NO other $$$ came in that month and I didn't buy parts with the $, just lived off of it.  [slaps forehead]  I'm still paying that off.  [roll]

41 days straight?!?  Day-um bro.  That's commitment that will get you committed.  You know, the jackets with the sleeves too long, happy people, lots of colorful pills and the room o'pillows too.  [sniff, sniff....I get homesick sometimes...]  [laugh]

That's the main reason I don't take deposits.

It's too easy to get the input to output balance askew.

I also pay cash for all my materials...no credit from suppliers.

The day I'm ready to quit...I'll close the door behind me and never look back.

That almost happened in February. [laugh]

I was called to clear some stuff and it was 84 degrees. When I show up at 3pm, I figure I want slow reducer (312) and find that nothing is ready. When I finally get it readyish, it's 7:30 and 57 degrees. You know the rest.........................now I've got 6 small sags to clean up. Coulda been worse it was a full bagger so around 11 pieces.

You need to travel with a selection. ;D

I'd use 311 at 84 deg.

...but I'm a hoser. ;)
