    I HATED automatics before my current one, the Detroit paired with 12 speed auto does pretty well. I had autos a couple of times back 5 years ago as loaners and they sucked, but now they do the job pretty ###### well.

    I love automatic volvos. Drove automatic Macks once or twice. Tbh ai can't tell the difference. There's less hassle with automatics. No grinding, clutching, revving etc. Simple. The way driving is supposed to be.

    I actually won a jump rope for heart competition one time.

    .....
    .....actually
    .....
    ....
    Yeah actually that is actually true.


    ....and now I have bad knees between that and the playing the soccer and the decades of umpiring baseball and the years of sitting on my butt trucking....

    But yeah jump roping is a nice little workout. I prefer watching the hulahooper girls though. ;)
     
    Dumdriver Thanks this.

    I overdid the strength workouts. Too many body weight squats and squat-holds. Only two workouts this week. Spent two days icing my knees. Wife discovered my bad form in the squats. Corrected that.

    Feel good now.

    Make sure your form is correct on all these exercises. Helps being married to a fitness instructor whose best friend is also a fitness instructor/personal trainer.

    The truck I was in grinds when you put it in 3rd. Then I floated through the rest.
