The good news is that the tractor (1964 Ford 4000) is running good and doesn't seem to need any more work - but old tractors ALWAYS need more work!!!). The house is almost finished. Diane bought a new car so I don't have to work on her old car anymore. I bet I'm not the only one who lives like this. This state in life is mostly due to years of obscene hours at work. Sounds pretty much like your life too???
