Jeff's sore back



So Mike....

Are you going to make service calls. I have to pull a engine soon and 
will be on the back on the ground.I will more than likely end up with a 
few ach's and pains. You know where I live so its not too far away. Hey 
maybe I can find you another Travellall so it will be worth your 
drive.....HAHAHAHAH

Jeff-

I feel for you, IH Brother!  Noone does the simplest project more often 
than
I!!!  Takes me about five tries to get my points set right!  Don't even 
ask me
about tranny/engine stuff!  However, as the back-cracking health care
professional that I am studying to be, I would simply like to warn you 
to be
very careful!  You are performing exactly the kind of thing that could 
set you
very HIGH at risk for a back injury!  As if rolling around on the floor 
with
several hundred pounds of iron/metal are not risky enough, the cold 
floor is
going to put you at VERY high risk, as your muscles will want to
contract/shorten, and if you pull/move/roll any of the heavy parts, you 
will be
lengthening, then contracting them very specifically.  If the wrong ones 
get
recruited to help at the wrong angle, as less than perfect form can 
cause to
happen, you could get an ouchy!
Anyway, I know we're all adults, and I am not trying to gain business-I 
don't
know where you live and I am not even out of school-but I have finally 
seen
enough examples of how screwy back problems can get, and don't wish that 
on
anyone!  Please be careful!

Michael
