No late night watch repairs

[wudce]

Was late trying to complete a repair and was tired. Got the Keyless works done and only thing left was the Pallet fork and the Balance complete which I didn't have installed yet. Started to wind the watch but was not getting any resistance from the mainspring. I stop and though was did I do wrong. So I pull the mainspring bridge back off, took out the the barrel, pop the lid and took a look at the mainspring,  looks good, what the you know what's going on. Got everything back together then it hit me , you dummy the Pallet fork not in yet to hold the power. Moral of the story "No more work after 10pm.

Been. There. Too many times to count. The worst is when the late night project is a car you need the next morning to get to work.

Me and a friend once spent way too much time, and all the swear words available in both our native languages on an oil change (there were other tune up things, but the oil change is what did us). However many HOURS into trying to remove a stuck oil filter, it turns out we were turning it the wrong way.

Been there too many times. Sometimes when you are so close to finishing that if you go off to bed, you'll just toss and turn the whole night thinking about finishing it.

Yes! I'm so bad about that it borders on, and probably crosses well into pathology.
