As usual, you are right AND funny as hell!Ouch on the sewing machine issue, the boss has four machines and an over-lock/serger unit. The newest machine is about 14 years old, the oldest is over 30. Only one is in need of repair at the moment. A year or so ago three were, I took care of two and the service guy a few towns away took care of the third one. Parts get to be a royal pain and some repairs I leave to someone with more patience than I.
You still have to let folks enjoy talking about pellet hauling, besides they probably get put out with the OT sewing talk.
Sorry guys, but when there is a seamstress in residence you learn a lot about a lot of small moving parts in computer controlled whirly gigs and how to sew.
4 Machines!! That's some serious stuff. Almost as serious as pellet stove pampering! Yea, the machines are amazingly complicated once I got into the guts! Figured it out, though!
