........ I do a lot of oil changes and tire rotations.
My other half has an Audi, do I have to say more
Hey, how’s that truck restoration coming along, is it peeking out from under the security blanket?

Unfortunately, not as much happened over the winter as I had hoped. It turns out that taking shortcuts down ladders is really hard on the body. I took the express lane down one last fall and tore my shoulder up pretty good, it's coming along, but it's been a long haul.
Oh that sucks, well look on the bright side it gives you more time to hang out around here and gab!
Mend well!

Interesting perspective. The more time members spend on here the more F'd up they must be........
I know, that's not what you said, but......
Might even be true.

Uh oh, are you saying that I need to cut down on my screen time and join the real world? It's scary out there, there are Susquatches running free......

Taking stairs too fast has a similar effect: total reverse replacement. 6 more weeks of PT, but not back 95% until the end of the year; at least it wasn’t my dominant arm!Unfortunately, not as much happened over the winter as I had hoped.

I blame it all on gravity, we really need to ban that crap as it just ain't safe.
Unfortunately it was my dominant arm, I could still chain up a tandem truck, but there was no way I could change a light bulb. Lifting it over my head or reaching out was out of the question, strangely though I could upshift my pickup 2 to 3 just fine, but couldn't downshift 4-3 to save my soul.

As one of my collegues was noted to say, "Gravity: not just a good idea, It's The LAW!"I blame it all on gravity, we really need to ban that crap as it just ain't safe.

The Starrett #196 indicator sets was a requirement for millwrights before lasers. I have couple of sets. In order for couplings to last, they have to in alignment . The ones I most often had to align were pumps and motors . Big ones were easy, the little ones I swore were on springs.

Somebody told me riding in the bed of a pickup was illegal now? My reply, I hope it is and hopped in anyway. Good grief.......and, in the infinite wisdom of an old teacher of mine, "Laws were made to be broken, otherwise they wouldn't exist." Absolutely changed my entire outlook on life.

Never used them, but I remember watching some of the many dozens of motor/pump shafts being aligned at the Hershey Virginia plant in the early 80’s.

Oil refineries required cross dials , more complicated math, but pulp mills were happy with the simple rim and face. I think that was all the engineers understood. It was a fair bit of trial and error. If the sun shone on your motor, your numbers were out. Now with lasers , you set up and the display will tell you your shim packs, even soft foot.
