Checking out for a bit.

Sorry guys... You'll probably see a bit less of me for a while. I think I need to check out for a bit from tractoring and such.  I'll continue to monitor new accounts and eyeballing things, although a bit delayed.  I've got a bad case of the burnouts or something.  Maybe @Doug will have some time to pop in time to time as well.

Sometimes you just have to do that.

I'll try to lure you back in over the next several weeks with my build, I finally have enough parts to start on the front axle build.

you know what, man, I absolutely know what you mean, at least when you come back everything about tractoring won't have changed, I used to build gaming pcs and such, but over last summer I kinda got bored with that, and I was starting to look for a tractor and whatnot, and last month someone asked me to give them a quote on a gaming rig and I went to go do so, and literally everything has changed, there's new GPUs Intel is on the 12th gen CPU, they were on 10th when I checked out, anyway, sometimes you have to do that, hope to see you come back and I might even take your spot on the posting leaderboard
Nah, are you planning on finishing the Dirty Rat?

I give it a week! Lol.

But seriously after all the tractors you've build over the last few years I can't say I blame you really, I've gone through the same thing with working on my vehicles. Sometimes it's good to step away for a bit, refresh and go back to it with new found appreciation!

Best to step away while it's still fun as they say. We'll be here when you're ready. Lest somebody manages to burn the forum down or something. (Quite playing with computer viruses Billy! lol)

I'm still here, just taking a back seat.  Yes  @TechnoChicken, I do plan on finishing TDR.  :-)

Enjoy! Thanks for what you do for us. It is much appreciated.

Second winter finally left here I think. 70s for the next few days. I may take Saturday (my 75th birthday) to play with tractors. Yard work is priority now, but maybe a day off from that would be nice.

Happy Birthday! Tomorrow is my 47th!

Neat! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday @MightyRaze!

Happy birthday man!, 47 is a decent number... just don't drink a beer for every year of your life, just trust me, it's a really bad idea...

Happy birthday to the both of you.

47 was still good for me but at 58 I'm just not the same, slowing down a bit.

I think after a great deal of thought I'm going to follow in Mighty's footsteps. I've had a pretty rough couple weeks and right now I think I just need to get my life in order, so in a month or so I should be getting back to work on some projects, but till then I probably won't be getting on here much. See y'all later!

I thought I would be a while.  I'm getting myself back in order.  About mid week next week I should be back in good shape.  I got my sealant today for the tank.  This evening or tomorrow I'll start on that.

sometime projects can get really frustrating, especially where you're at with the white, I totally understand...

Good to hear! There are only a few of us posting, I hate to see anyone burn out.

Got some good relaxation time this evening. Helps a bunch!

hopefully the only burnout happening should be the logs and your car's tires...

I have to say im sorry for my inactivity ive had lots of stuff a mix of freinds, girls, toys and school so i will check in regularly and am planning to head to haspin for the next event my tractor still is WIP and i will make posts soon

Turns out some of my issue turned out to be my 6th sense on alert.  Evidently my card info got hacked last week.  I'll have to head down to the bank tomorrow to clear that up.  I have a pretty good bank and can get that stuff cleared up pretty quick, and they can seem to figure it out and lock my card before I notice it.  No big loss, but definitely a pain in the keister.  

Wife has gall bladder removed on Tuesday.  After that... hopefully some things will get back to normal.

Just kinda weird stress? I get that sometimes when it's raining, I'm always worried something has been left out and I have trouble sleeping...

Just a heads up.  I'm ready to check back in.  I've conquered the stresses that I have had the past few weeks and back 100%!  

Look out post count!

I'd normally ask of I win a prize but I ain't greedy! Lol

In other news I've taken a small break from working the Mud Duck to clear my cache... but I do think I'll be running it this weekend for some fun, further testing and to do some driveway grading while the ground is soft and wet!

I've also been focusing some energy into research and preparing to test out the hydro in the Cub Cadet. Need to get my head back into work mode also as I've been called back in and am back to work on Monday, I'm very glad I pushed myself so hard during my sabbatical to get as much done as possible on the Mud Duck it's given me a great head start on my ambitious plans!

@Brianator  Just wait.... I'll get ya.

Wowie a "You called it award"! That's amazing I never expected this! I'd first and foremost like to thank my mom, a heck of a great lady she is... as she would say, "I come by it honestly!" (My cheesy sense of humor). =)
