Will it ever end? UPDATED

Rant

As some of you might have read, our computer went down the tubes last week so we just dropped $800 on a new one.

Well ,......... as of today, the electric clutch on our mower went out. That is going to be another $275. You can find electric clutches on Ebay that fit Ariens ztr mowers for $150 But they dont fit MY ztr My ztr takes the expensive one, in fact it is the most expensive one i am seeing!


End Rant

Update:
Hey guess what, The aquarium sprung a leak! Theres another $400

Stuff happens - beware it usually happens in 3's

About 2 weeks ago.....
Items at my shop that "Went down"
The only bonus I got was I did all the maintenance myself saving thousands on service guys.

Waterheater - $275.00

Envelope Feeder - $450 parts

Copier toner collector - $500 parts

Dampening system on one of the presses - $3600 parts


Items that don't normally crap out all crapping out in the same week - priceless.

If you have the ability to pay the bills, you are still in the game. If you can't pay the repairs, the game is over. At least you are still in the game.

never, never, never, ever quit, nothing will be accomplished if you quit.

as long as you stay in the fight, you have a chance of winning.

I prefer to stay negative. Usually if I say something along the lines of "this is impossible I quit!", preceeded, post-ceeded and interspersed with fluent "French", then things will start to work again.

Had plans to buy a storage barn (no garage - rental property) to store lawn equipment in instead of covering them with a tarp after use. Then I discovered:

- Flatbed trailer lights not working ($68.00 to fix wiring issue)
- Flat tire on the trailer ($25.00)
- Problem with hitch on truck ($80.00 to fix)
- older (6-7 years old) push mower broke and had to buy a new one (~ $300.00)

So, the majority of the money I was saving for the new barn was used on fixing broken stuff around the homestead.

While looking/pricing the various barns available something was niggling at me not to buy the barn yet. The salesman that I was talking to was pushing me to "buy it now" because it was on a limited-time sale. Good thing I waited.

when you think things are going badly and wonder if they will ever get better just take a look around. lots of bad thinks happen to good people but someone always has it worse than you. if you are still healthy and working things aint that bad.

 

[Cat-Herder]

1 lacie 1tb drive-fail
2 apple cinema displays-fail

Granted these failures were over 4 production studios, but i think there's something in the air!

Well if it came out of a bank account instead of a credit card you're already ahead of most.
