I recently turned 42.......i feel like I'm 30, look like I'm 30......

But some days if i do something just the wrong way wrenching on p cars it stays with me for days....sometimes weeks.....

Key is to remember what you do that hurts.....then work around it......i will no longer try to push in a 911 by myself.....heavy things that need lifting? Get help......

Need some crazy leverage on a big bolt? Breaker bar......

I've been wrenching professionally for 5 years now on p cars.....before that spent 20 years under dashes doing electrical.......

Work smarter, more efficiently.........have the young guys help with the grunt work......



I won't ever accept that I'm getting older, i just work around it so my body doesn't tell me i am. ...
Yea I used to laugh at people who said "wait till you're 40! everything changes!"

I'm not laughing now. I'm trying to do a better job of taking care of myself but I didn't even see this one coming. Sudden pain in my arm like someone plugged me into a 120V outlet.

I'm gonna fight the glue factory the whole way!
