    Getting old

    They assigned a 19 year old for me to train at work. We are alighning engines so we have to use a 18:1 torque multiplier on some of the jacking bolts to move the engine around. That equates to a lot of turns with a rachet. For the life of me I couldn't keep up with the kid today, my shoulders are killing me.

    Getting older sucks, realizing your getting older sucks even worse!

    Let me share a thought with you....you're not as old as you feel but rather you're as old as you think. You will have days when if it doesn't hurt it doesn't work to be sure but let me assure you that old age, experience and treachery will beat youth and enthusiasm every time.
