Couple weeks, actually. I spent most of last week several hundred miles from home working on a machine that- for reasons unknown to us all, would go into feed hold completely at random, at least once a shift. We have now run three days without issue, but i’m not off the hook till the warranty expires.

Yesterday and today I spent chasing another ghost at another customer. They “Repaired” the machine, at which it stopped working. But they didn’t cause it, oh no. Two days of digging until I found the ribbon connector they had failed to reinsert correctly. In the meantime I fixed several other issues on the way to finding out what the real issue was. This is what they pay me for. Agita.

Krill oil and Turmeric every morning, as anti inflammatories and to help my knees. I think it makes a difference.

And recently been reminded of how much fun it is to watch someone who really, really enjoys their work. The example given (By Tam) was Jim Cantore. He is a hoot to watch. But there are plenty others;

Jacques Pepin.
Roy Underhill
Richard Hammond
Oleg Volk (Ok, you don’t often get to SEE him working, but it shows that he loves it. )
Tom Knapp (RIP)
Jerry Miculek
Norm Abrams
Mika Hakkinen

It gives you a warm fuzzy to watch these people do their jobs because they make it seem effortless and they are having so much fun. I bet you can think of a few.
