There are times when I feel like this guy:

By the "law of averages", there must be some guy living on the opposite end of
the bell curve; someone who *DOES* have "all the luck".
Y'all should be glad you've got me around to absorb all the bad luck. How does
the song go, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all"?
I managed to mostly recreate my Troy-Bilt file with a couple of hours internet
searching; good enough to identify the parts I need. It's now duplicated on two
hard-drives & as soon as I get a round tuit, I'm gonna get another off site
backup set up.
The thing about backups, is no matter how good you think they are, they're never
bullet-proof. There's always something you forgot, but you never find out what
that is until you need it and don't have it.
My parts are ordered & have already shipped. Should be here by next weekend.
It's a glorious day out there today. I've already been out a couple of times to
play with the dog, and I *might* even find some time to cut the damn grass today
... or tomorrow, or Monday, or Mañana ...

MY second hard-drive (Drive 'D:') just crashed with no warning. BIOS doesn't
recognize it. Dead as a door-nail.
Update: I thought I had pretty much recovered everything of importance ...
I have an OLD, OLD (1979?) Troy-Bilt SuperTomahawk Chipper/Shredder that I use to
chop up tree limbs & other yard waste for composting.
It's getting into the time of year I use it the most. Yesterday one of the
shaft bearings shredded itself.
NO BIGGIE! The bearings were a standard size & design and they're still used today.
I've already rebuilt the thing twice, so I won't have any problems replacing the
bearing. I've got a whole file full of parts diagrams, manuals and a list of suppliers.
I can get the part number & order a new one.
Guess where the file with all the part numbers was located. Oh the irony ...
and it's not even Monday.
