JD is right on this. I used to be a workaholic -- just lived to work! I'm not comfortable writing about these things online, so suffice it to say that I went from young-and-super-active to still young, but no more work. Have still not had a vacation since. Can't afford one. Have kept dreaming up ways to "get back in the game" over the years, but life always seems to have other plans -- plans that always seem to push us further away from our dreams.
If you can find a chance to do more important things now, take the chance! Spend time with your family (QUALITY time!!). See sights you want to see. Learn things you've been putting off. Get your heart at peace!
When young, I watched my Dad work himself from a strong, healthy man to a frail shell of his former self, all so he could provide for his family and keep his word to his customers.

Yet even when the mainstream doctors told him he had maybe 6 months to live, he still kept going with all he had. I was with him when he died, and he still had not found his peace. Was the only time in my life I'd ever seen my Dad accept defeat.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
