Breaking loose suspension bolts/ bottomless grief... yeah, it really is all the same thing isn't it? 
What good thing happened while you were at work today?

I QUIT!
Not because I wasn't happy... but because it was time to go.
Never be afraid to go.
You don't need to know where you're going, you don't need to have money, you just need to want it. Do it... for real... do it.

Oh ya,great day! New plugs,oxygen sensors and a fan clutch. Runs great and doesent overheat. Or so i thought. Just delivered a courtesy car and waiting for towtruck. 30 miles away. Next road test will need to be farther. Learning more than i wanted to about jeep 3.7 litre engines.
I survived the third wave of layoffs that happened at my company this year. Office staff is now half what it was at the beginning of the year. My boss got laid off on Wednesday! Most of it is due to the drop in oil prices. I hope the company can adjust to the current economic conditions and start hiring again by next summer.
Some of you may know of the British band Status Quo and their old fashioned good time rock'n'roll sound. Some of you may know of Rosetta Tharpe's This Train.
The other night, I messed around with my hooligan guitar and the Trace Elliot amp I was given and came up with Status Quo do This Train. A friend, on being informed of this, has said let's go for it next March in Swanage.

That was a very, very long time ago, when they were trying to get the psychedelic market. Here's a more representative chunk of their output. I recommend good speakers or headphones, and be ready for a bad back after the groove gets into your bones:

And a commendable level of energy for old men:

While I think, another good thing to happen "at work", my friend Percy gave me a 40w Trace Elliot Tramp amplifier at the Swanage blues Festival. It's an original, early one, with the simple Letraset type printed name on the front. Light enough to get up and down stairs, loud enough for most gigs I do.
I know some bloody good people.

Today at work I mowed all day on a 35 horse zero turn mower. Then I got it stuck. I had to use a 4wd to pull it out.
This is the same one that this past summer I started sliding sideways down an embankment toward a lake. I bailed at the last second and I went into the lake. It was 4-5 feet deep right at the edge. Then the mower came down on top of me and I nearly drowned. I saw the reaper, but once again he shied away.
At least I only got muddy today, and that was a good thing.

Lud, No, I'm not a musician but had an opportunity early in life to hang with many and see an awful lot of great music in the early 70's into the 80's. Got to be around Jon Mark and Johnny Almond a couple times and of course saw Mayall every chance I had. Saw him a couple years ago here near the Washington DC area. I enjoy ZZ Top and early Zepplin blues.
Yep, I went the psychedelic route for a bit but was finally able to return to earth just a little worse for wear.
