Fucked up my back
Not a bad one, just overstrained myself trying to show someone where to reset the parameters on a Fanuc spindle drive. Why do the Japanese persist in putting control cabinets at knee level? It’s as if they want to bring all us roundeyes to our knees.
Wait…
Suppose they can still be pissed about that Hiroshima/Nagasaki thing?
Naaaah..
Still, I fucked up my back. And got in the truck and drove a couple hours home. And started sealcoating the driveway.
I got about 1/4 done, I think. And now I feel like parboiled shit. Tomorrow should be a hoot. This is the kind of day I wish I could take Dr Dicks advice and throw back a couple fingers of tequila. Couple Aleve ought to tone it down some, tomorrow AM I intend to go negotiate the purchase of a particularly tasty Swedish mauser, if it hasn’t already found a new home.
Have you noticed how similal in spelling are “Swedish Masseur” and “Swedish Mauser”?
Context is everything
I had not noticed, but now I have! Velley Innaresting!
I was there today buy forgot to look for it….darn :-P
No, you can’t have my Swedish Mauser no matter how many Swedish Masseurs and Secretaries you offer me! ‘Bialystock and Bloom, Bialystock and Bloom!”
Yeah, when I first read that I thought, “Boy, he really screwed up the spelling of ‘masseur’….”
Then realized, “Oh, no, he’s talking about a gun.”
As for the Japanese–they’re all shorter than we are, and they probably sit on their knees when working on whatever’s in the control cabinets. No problem for them!
Ouch. Been there, done that.
My savior is a GF who just finished massage therapy school. I can now work on the floor with my students and get back up without muscle spasms. That massage stuff works, all I have to say.
I had to go to a conference earlier in the month where I sat all day in a small dark room, not being allowed to move around much, while at the facility they fed us three huge meals a day, dessert carts, the wall of pie and snacks. (don’t forget happy hour)
At the end of the course I felt like veal.
The next week after that was in the field and everything that could move, hurt.
Lemme know if the sale goes bad, I am thinking about thinning my mauseur herd in the closet…( If you leave two of them too close in a dark place, they breed like rabbits, only with less noise.)
