Yee-ha! beats the alternative, though, doesn't it?  It was like that for me earlier this spring.  Things have quieted down now (better for my blood pressure), and I'm certain I'll soon be fretting about "lack of work".  Lol.

Take it while you have it Mike. Strange, this should be your slow season right now. You always seem to slow down right about now after the snowbirds have left. I have slowed down considerably and have four orders to crank out this weekend and then I have an empty board. I have a big job coming in from the West Coast but no idea when. Probably in two weeks.

Things always slow down this time of year for me which is a good thing. I schedule my chemo runs to coincide with the downturn so in the end it all works out. My wife has been grabbing orders and doing them which got me out of a serious backlog. 2 of these orders I am doing this weekend are from the first week of May. I told both customers that it would be July before they were done and both were cool with that.

I just plan on limping along now till my body adjusts to the poison and then I should be good to go this fall when things start hitting the fan again. We are trying to squeeze in a trip north to see the grandkids but are held down in Tampa until the wife hears from Immigration. She is due to be sworn in as an American Citizen and thankfully Australia now allows dual citizenship. She is so excited.

Bobbin. You are so right. We fret when we are busy and then fret when we get slow. I don't think it is a matter of not ever being happy but rather just being OCD with our schedules and project time lines. :)

Glad your busy Mike. if I cannot fish neither can you......:)
