WOW! You guys are the greatest, I can relate to most everything you mentioned. Service truck got here on time and come to find out it's only the high pressure switch gone bad. Too bad I ruined a perfectly good roof panel in the process. We had plans to change the R-12 over to 134A, he had all the parts with him, flush system and go, but decide to leave things as they are, so I felt guilty and went ahead and purchased the parts, because the next time I will need them anyhow. Knock on wood, if I haven't destroyed a good old tractor before then.
Backing up has become an adventure the last few years, stop when I hear the metal bending....
Brought home the new soffit and fascia and other trim, backed truck into the building before the rains came, only to crash right into my new outdoor wood boiler...all the while was worried I'd do just that. Bent up the corner trim on the boiler, didn't hurt the new trim, it's all on the building now, but sure thought I had destroyed that pile of expensive aluminum.
Backing my gator out of the garage....crashed the roof panel into the half opened overhead door, knocked door out of the track and bent it....another time crashed into the new pieces of 38' eve spouting hanging off the end of the gooseneck...
And it goes on and on....
As for the 5 step process of getting the planter ready to plant in the field....I too have to stop for a second at times and double think to make sure I haven't forgotten something routine!
So I think about all this and believe it IS stress, along with the old age that's causing a lot of these incidents...
I am the type that's happiest when after finishing a job, I can step back and see how great it is to accomplish the sometimes, impossible, always busy doing whatever, and then at times I can be the lazy guy setting on the porch in a cool summer breeze having a glass of iced tea, enjoying the simplest of things.
Like it or not I guess it's time to back off some of the rat race of trying to get hay up in the kind of weather we are having this year, give up some more of my rented/shares hay ground, and spend more time taking care of what I own.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
