Mine sucked. This is probably the definitive illustration of how I felt.

Starting to rain sleet or snow again here. I have not looked out to see exactly what it is now. Too depressing other than that things are just fine.

Worked and worked. Stuck the air compressor and PT pump on a triple nickel Cummins. Reassembled the top end, Turbo etc, all the while charging the batterys.

Tried to start the beast about 4:45, and the batterys would barely turn it over! Cleaned the battery cables, and still not enough crank to bust it off.

I was bummed out!

Not bad. It cleared off today after a day and a half of solid rain. Went out to the range to sight in an AR with a new scope mount. Not hard to sight in when three shot groups have the holes touching. This with the Winchester 65 (?) gr SP bullet. Would have been interesting to have Sierra Matchkings in it today.

A 555 Cummins? Good Lord, where do you work - the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry?
I hope you have earplugs handy.

From my viewpoint - they are all good days, some are better than others but they are all good.

Let's see got up at 3:30am traveled 2.5 hrs in the rain to a customer site reworked and repainted 18 carriers of truck assemblies that may/may not have had damage caused by a material defect from the company I work for 8.5 hrs, traveled back home in the rain 2.5 hrs.

I'm still on the good side of the dirt + I get to sleep till 5:30am in the morning. I'm good

It was a very busy week. It was the first week of the month (rent due), plus everyone is giving me their PA rent rebate forms to fill out for them, and the worst of it is my maintenance man, whom we all adore and really count on, has been ill and took a turn for the worse on Monday and cannot come back to work at all. So now, even though I know I could fill that position with a qualified individual immediately, I have to put an ad in the paper and deal with a flood of phone calls and job applications for the next couple of weeks.

And plunge toilets, reset GFI breakers, and change ceiling light bulbs in between.

Plunge toilets? Change ceiling light bulbs? Where can I get a rental application? That is better than where I live.

My week has sucked I've got a pinched nerve in my neck since last friday my left hand is numb and my arm has a lot of pain. I've been out of work and been going to several doctor's and physical therapy. In fact I have to go again in 2 hours They have me on pain pill's and muscle relaxer's and they just make me tired. The only good thing is the 696 that I picked up last saturday I do'nt know when I'll get a chance to try it out.

I'm self employed....semi-retired, John Deere combine tech.

The 555 is in a hunk-o-**** Terra-Gator spray rig. I have no idea why I'm wrenching on it .....really didn't volunteer for this job. However, it belongs to a neighbor and friend who's down on his luck. Farming being a hard business these days. It must be fixed.....or we will all eventually be eating Argentine and Austrailian food!!

No...I'm not too fond of Cummins V8 engines...and the 555 ain't as much fun to work on as a 903, and 903's stink to work on....I'm not fond of Cummins engines period.

You have my sympathies.

My first job out of college was working for a truck line that had a bunch of Dodge city tractors powered by Cummins V8-185 engines. They were the fore-runner of the 555.
The 185 was such a good move that the guy who ordered them got fired and eventually the trucks got repowered by Chrysler gas engines.

Later, I worked for a fleet that leased a bunch of 903 powered IHs. The good thing was that they would literally go forever without an oil change. The lessor never did maintenance. Every one I ever looked at had a hole in the clutch housing - seems 14 1/2 inch clutches weren't made to turn 3,000 rpm. Both 185s and 903s were noisy, leaky, heavy chunks of iron.

I don't miss turning wrenches ... but I'm glad I did it and it put a lot of food on the table.
