Hi Marchers,
Hope you are all doing well.
Today is day 33 for me, if it was 5 weeks ago, I would be getting trashed tonight.
As I posted yesterday, one of my pinsetters had broken down Tuesday night. I spent all day yesterday working on it and had most of it completed. I came in today to finish up the job.
There were going to be 2 possibilities. Either it would work well, or, some damage happened inside the gearbox and would need to replace the entire gearbox.
Either situation would have sent me to the bar, either to celebrate the repair, or to drown my sorrows if the gearbox needed replacement.
I turned on the pinsetter and tried to cylce it. Next sound was a loud BANG, as the housing snapped.
Now I have to call, a specialist to come in and help me change the gearbox, as that is beyond my skill level.
I would really like to drink tonight, so my plan is.
I am going to stay here for a while and read posts. When I decide to go home I will leave all cash and credit cards in my office so I cant stop at the bar. Once I am home the urge will go away.
I will not let this setback, screw up what I've worked hard for for the last 33 days.
Thanks for being here.
Stay Strong
Ken
