Some days everything goes wrong. Go home early & stay later when it goes right. Don't torment yourself there's already plenty of that for free. Also the air source might have enough flow but not enough pressure for the occasional clump to stall it. It's the only bit left you haven't looked at !

Left you spirits? & that makes you feel better? I helped a cow farmer put some seasoned oak runners in his cattle trailer.. he bought spike nails.. think they were called 20 penny nails & 2 brand new wood handle claw hammer that weight at least 30 oz with meat grinder heads.. he used bar oil to grease way, I had driven a few nails, not without bending 1 or 2.. I was laying down on the lumber getting ready to drive another nail.. looking at that nail, I thought about how much it would hurt if I miss.. I'll be damned if I didn't miss that nail & come hard down my thumb.. I cry out with pain.. grasping my thumb.. painful enough I could have pass out.. the Farmer (Jene) what did he do? he busted out hard laughing his ass off, whole I layed there agony... he wasn't alarmed, he didn't console me or offered any help.. & he couldn't stop laughing.. how or why would a guy take so much pleasure in my pain... I figured it out.. it had happen to him as well.. & I guess he took some sadistic pleasure in knowing someone else was stupid as him.. I mean smashing your thumb like that... & that didn't stop the work either, we finished up that cattle trailer & called it a day.

Zach, a huge kudos to you for making a video of when things don't go the way you want them to. Anyone who farms, or really any occupation but particularly farming, knows about those days. And it seems like when it rains it pours. I admire your ability to keep calm and keep trying to figure it out. If it was me having those problems and you gave me a 16lb sledge hammer I wouldn't have used it on the closing wheels. There would be no windows left in the cab of that 8RX. Well maybe not but there'd certainly be a lot of bleeps in the video footage. As always, I really enjoy your videos and keep up the excellent content!
