O/TFirst sign of old age?

>Ahhhhhhhh gee, I "sprung" my back this a.m. while trying to pick up a small table saw that was attached to a small table. Really don't think it's a strain, just a muscle spasm, but it has annoyed me all day. Ended up doing nothing in the shop today because of it. :~( I think what's behind this is the fact that I spent all day in the shop yesterday and therefore, I had sweated out to much salt which I didn't replinish, and it caught up with me this morning.

Spent most of the day reading, and consuming salty items such as potato chips. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be as good as new.

T.O.

>You need a sign to find you way into old age & you say you can see good enough to read it?

I have feelings for old age & they creep up & clobber me when I'm not looking I don't need any sign.

Something to read hmm lets see Aleve bottles Aspirin bottles Vitamin bottles, Bengay tubes etc.

My name is Marv Werner. I live Northern California, in Lake County. I retired in 1999 after owning an electronics business that produced coil assemblies for Hewlett Packard, Snap-On-Tools and other similar companies. I was in that business for 19 years. During prior years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was vice president of two different companies. Got tired of the rat race and moved to Lake Co. in 1976 and sold real estate for four years. Hated it because it didn't involve getting my hands dirty. I have a combination woodworking and machine shop in the lower story of a house that I built back in 1981. I have a great interest in hand tools in general but am most involved with collecting and restoring old handsaws. I sell some on eBay and also do custom restoring and saw sharpening. The amount that I have learned here on WoodCentral is immeasurable. One of the things I've learned, I'm pretty much of a hack compared to so many people who frequent this site.
