Sometimes when something is kicking your butt it is best to just walk 
away for a few minutes. Go watch a movie on TV or something else for a 
while.

Many years ago when I was in school I completely rebuilt the distributor 
on my car. Afterwards the darn thing ran great up to about 35 and then 
just fell on it's face. I tore my hair out for two days trying to figure 
out what was wrong. One morning I jumped straight up out of bed at about 
5AM, jerked on some clothes and ran out to the car. Took off the 
distributer and flipped over the mechanical advance weights and put 
everything back. I had installed them backwards by accident when I 
overhauled it. For two day I had thought of virtually nothing else but 
that darned distributor. Once I forgot all about it the answer hit me 
like a flash of lightening.

When your up against the wall you can't see anything except the brick 
right in front of your nose. Step back and you can see the wall better. 
A new perspective is a good thing sometimes.
