I hear you. The most I ever put in a week was 87 hours. I was about dead under that welding hood. We had to preheat everything to 300 degrees before we could weld it ( multi passes) and maintain that temp and it was about like it is now. HOT!!!!!!! It was a test frame for NASA so they could test their new, bigger rocket boosters.

The Mazdarati burnt up a plug wire today. Getting home was pretty miserable. Runs much better now.

Look at the bright side of it.....
If gas was at $4 a gallon they'd probably only give you $6k.
