Thread: You're Not Getting Better, You're Getting Older

I really hate it when someone follows me around my shop and pens little ditties like that one. My shop looks like an operating room - you can do brain surgery with the number of flourescent lights I have - and to think I used to do a valve job with a 100 watt bulb in the ceiling fixture and a 40 watt in a drop lead. Age? Dirt is young in comparison.

Thanks Don!

Had a wonderful birthday. Spent it along with the day before and the day after moving furniture from basement to the first floor and back again so my wife could get new carpet. Now instead of feeling 61, I hurt and feel like I am 74!

At least I was able to get in a couple of cruises in the evenings.

Now where did I leave my Advil?

We charge people to move their furniture so we can hurt the next day, crap we aren't charging enough.

Hee-hee! I certainly can relate to all of those. We broke the tranny linkage on the Torino a while back, stuck in reverse, and the rod hanging down from the tranny end. So, I finally decided to do something about it; got the thing up on the stands, as high as the floor jack would go, and lay down on the creeper to scoot under there - oops. Put the extander block on the jack and raised it up another six inches, as high as the jackstands will go. Now, it's so high up there, I'm almost afraid to get under it, without some cribbing blocks. Guess I'll have to get some lumber and build some new ones. If it ain't one thing, it's another.
