Two important lines of thought there Mike.

Some of us have seen it, and I'm sad to admit there have been a couple times I've succumbed myself, where a guy just got impatient (or whatever) and convinced himself to live with something he was really not satisfied with. As crazy as it might seem to some, redoing something to "get it right" is almost always the thing to do for longer term satisfaction. No matter how wasteful it seems at times.

As for the back and arthritis issues I can't offer you much encouragement. As younger folk I suspect many of us would hear "the old guys" talk about these issues and not give it much thought or even found it mildly humorous. But then we get our turn if we hang in long enough. I find the loss of productivity, time wise mostly, frustrating, but it is what it is in the end. Adjust the expectations and keep on truckin'. Your arthritis comment reminded me of the other night when I was assembling something and had to take 5 or 6 shots at starting a nut on the end of a bolt...…………...might make a funny video. Gettin' old ain't for sissies, as they say.
