Start with carpel tunnel that has turned into arthritis
Hand hurt sometimes I forgot how honestly stupid and hard things are todo in the “engine bay” Trying to remove and replace the injectors on a 75 Adding air injection just makes it even more challenging to get done. I just am being reminded how stupid some things are on this car. I simply forgot, or it’s a memory I refused to save. I’m glancing over at the fan belt, with air pump….that should be fun. |

Pushing 67 here. Stopped skiing & windsurfing. Too much of a hassle. Can't fly a PC for more than a half an hour now. Left foot hurts alot. It's harder to see. And finally, those half cases of beer & wine are getting heavier with each new week. Damn.
