Is this odd? , should I book time on the "couch".
No at at all. You form a very intimate relationship with your machine. You spend hours with it rather then people. You talk to it. You get a feel for it's intricate needs in handling. You love it, you curse it, you ignore it, you crave it.... Since we restore machines I have a long littanl of likes and dislkes for different ones. Some I look for ward to getting another one and others I loath.
