It's a 30 gallon barrel, so just 10 or 15 LOL! I would still be out there too, but I got pissed when I broke my last band saw blade. That on top of everything else that kept me from getting anything done this evening was enough to make me quit for the evening before I got too aggravated. Like Glenn said....tomorrow is another day.

That is the best thing to do when something happens you will just miss something else up. Good luck with the new turbo.

I hate to hear that Kevin. This government shut down has everything screwed up. I work in the coal industry, and there is no one working in the MSHA offices right now. There are many companies like ours that are waiting on approvals for equipment that nothing is being done with. It's a mess for sure. I hope it doesn't get bad for you.
