Bummer. But that's the perfect attitude. Next time I break something, I'll try to remember the lesson. Thanks.
For the first time in a month or so, I went to the shop to work on the money-pit. Got in and did some wiring under the dash and under where the hood will go (some day) . Routed the temp sending unit, HI dizzy red wire, starter purple, rear light connection thru the firewall, etc.
When I went for lunch, I stepped out of the shop on to the grassy approach and took a header (actually, I slipped backward) in the wet "driveway" outside the shop. Bent my leg backward under me and laid there for a while. My son-in-law (its his house and shop) was freaked to see the fat old guy down...especially since I didn't get up right away. Laying in that slop...and the mud was the "nicest" part of the slop. He was really scared, so I got up. Changed to a crappy t-shirt I have there for polishing, limped into the car, and went for lunch. Nothing broken. Nasty muddy-dirty-wet, so a drive thru was in order.
Makes me think how spoiled I am. No earthquakes, tsunamis, cancer, or other bad crap.
Came back and checked the mail.
Upside: A good second shower of the day; It's 74.9 Degrees F. outside; The DMV sent me a notice that the new plates are ready.
