[AT] Now shop mysteries - Was Engine Heater and wiper arms

[Henry Miller]

Roger, I can sympathize with that.  I just got out of the hospital having a "probably not cancer tumor" removed  from my spine and am on the no lifting more than 10 lbs for 6 weeks orders.  (it had already killed a few nerves and would have paralyzed me in time)

Worst part is getting home and having my youngest (1.5 years) run to me with arms up and I couldn't hold her.

I'm going nuts, I'm not allowed at work, and it is hard to think of something to do in the shop that won't be more than 10lbs in some way.  Just  lifting a salad bag out of the fridge hurts, so for not I'm not about to cheat.

Tractor related, when told me it would no lifting for 6 weeks I went out and bought a new JD 1025R, big enough to remove any snow without having to lift anything.  My other tractors are hand start, and besides they don't have any ability to  remove snow - shoveling is barely okay when you feel young.
