    All four, in the driveway at our age-yup we feel that the next day.

    Working on the Chevy Avalanche yesterday for a few hours and feeling it today. Full size truck and most everything I was dealing with was close to the firewall which meant getting on a small ladder to be able to reach most of what I was doing. Neck and back not feeling too good.

    New style valve cover with redesigned PCV now in place. Lets see of it stops fouling plug #1 and using oil. I checked #7 plug and it was fine. Thankfully youtube saved me from doing some things that did not need to be done to get to the valve cover. It actually was rather easy and I could probably do another one in about 30 minutes.

    After the twenties, contorting the body is a major pain.

    Yesterday, when my honey saw the tree I heard crack and fall at 1am during the storm. She said that would have scared the chit out of me. Luckily it was in the woods and fell away from the house.

    I have never heard the wind as loud as it was when that tree came down. It did not uproot, it broke 3 feet from the ground and looks to be about 16-18 inches at that point.

    One of our pear trees partially uprooted we stood it back upright and braced it. We will add another guy wire this fall guy rod for it is already in the ground. I've got a few trips down and up the stairs to put away the 17 pints of pears we canned yesterday. I can bring the empty jars up the stairs in a box at the rate of a dozen at a time going down the stairs is a lot slower.
