    Pretty much had the day from hell yesterday, take off to work with the service van, stop to buy gas (it had 1/2 a tank) go to start it up crank, crank, let it sit for a few minutes and it started but ran like crap so point it toward the barn. Made it home spent the next 8 hrs on the phone trying to get it in a shop. Finally get it an appointment at a fleet management approved shop, then have to deal with getting it towed and a rental truck until it's done. Get all that done now it about 1500, OK was going to go to moms for dinner tonight so I fire up the Sterling and head that way get to the mini-mart grab something to drink and walk out to a puddle under the truck, pop the hood frigging radiator is leaking from the plastic tank. Take this one home pull the hood relieve the pressure, clean and dry everything, get the epoxy "bandaid", it's dried in the tube, cut tube open still garbage, go borrow some from a friend and it decides to RAIN in bucket measurements, the hoods still up because there wasn't a cloud around. Clean everything up again plastic weld it, have a couple beers during cure time because I'm not making it to dinner anyway, fire up the truck and sure as snot I missed a spot, so get to start over today.

    Just remember. When you get there? Our wives have a different perspective of what it means when we actually get home.

    LOL

    You're not alone. At 57 after Just a few minutes standing up a ladder yesterday my calves were screaming.

    Back was complaining about the isometrics from stalling a latch set on a screen door.

    Makes me kinda question doing floor exercises to work on the pickup (need to replace the rubber fuel lines at the tanks).

    Maybe I need to sign up for a yoga class or 2.

    The humor is appreciated, fortunately men's Yoga pants tend to be more like martial arts or medical scrub bottoms.

    But just for you I could put the hair up in a man bunn :rolleyes:
