Sorry, no help here, but is it just my imagination or do you get more
than your fair share of grief? Or do you just have your fingers in so
many pies that it's just the average amount of grief multiplied by the pies?

Some of both. I have enough equipment something is always broke. I'm
too damn cheap to buy new stuff or hire a mechanic. Also had pretty
good luck getting answers here on RCM so you get to see all my life's
little problems.
