I apologize to all devoted readers of the InsaneHydraulics.com for "being absent" this month... A lot of things happened in my personal life (including me moving to a bigger apartment) during the last four weeks, so the blog activity had to slow down. At this point I am cooking an article about non-original spare parts which will, hopefully, come out before the end of the year. In any case - I would like to use this short break to wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
