2/ tire bead seater, windshield fluid, etc. Every project has a sub project, so (a) had to move pine planks for remaining bookshelves out of way, (b) finished off a spool of MIG wire and had to swap. Dislike new stuff, so saved old spool to add info to welding page in wikipic.twitter.com/iD28XpUtDU

4/ E.g. swapping out MIG wire so I can weld a shelf so I can store the oils so I can do annual maintenance on the tractor so I can rototill dirt so I can grow pumpkins so I can feed pigs so I can eat bacon.

This is the story of my life, maintaining the maintainers. Replace the belt in the Bridgeport head so I can mill a hole for the bandsaw coolant pump, so I can saw a bar to replace the DRO spacer, so I can drill cross holes for the bandsaw blade guides, so I can do my job.
