Getting old Options

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.

Hmmm, interesting discussion. I'm 69 in July, had a stent fitted when 62 after getting angina symptoms. Dad passed away at 69 with a heart attack, mum at 77 with an aneurism that burst. She also had Type 2 diabetes. I was warned of being pre-diabetic three years ago, and have controlled it with dietary changes (low-carb, mainly). My BMI is 22 (5ft 6in, 138lbs). Enlarged prostate, but with consistently low PSA levels...

Medication: Bisoprolol for blood pressure, dispersible aspirin for the same, Tamsolusin (an alpha blocker) for prostate, and statins. Worst of the lot is the Bisoprolol as it makes me feel tired, but I can live with that.

Interesting fact: the doctor who came up with the idea for stents, Julio Palmaz, is a well-known Porsche collector...and owns a vineyard. A man of taste!
