I learned that when the economy is crappy every gov agency comes out of the woodwork to see if they can get a bigger piece. So far I have had OSHA come for a visit, we are getting audited by IRS because our revenue dropped I have DOT calling for a compliance audit, we get visits from fire dept and fire safety, visits from Maricopa county dept of environmental quality, and city of Chandler comes by for a site inspection.
Makes me want to choke someone out

I learned I'm the new owner of a 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP...
And...
Never go against tried and true methods of tearing down and rebuilding a motor...I tried to use my fingers to pull the wrist pin retaining clip out of a piston instead of a pair of locking forceps...cost me 2 hours to REMOVE and reinstall the motor just to turn it upside down to get the clip out of the case....

I've learned that it's really a PIA when trying to sort out what's worth keeping and what needs to simply go. It's really a tough call when it's something handmade well over 90 years ago I've also learned that I really miss the sunshine and that working for the weekend has a whole new meaning...
