Just an update for y'all
Added 2020-06-14 00:40:57 +0000 UTCSo what have I been up to the last week? I still help with supply runs for my grandparents (mother's side), which normally eats the day.
Today, however, I am very sore. I helped my father move a rusty hemi engine with no mechanical assistance. AKA; by hand. Holy hell. There were complicated extraneous circumstances that made it tougher than normal, but that's all buried in decades of familial nuance I can't portray accurately. In short, it was partially disassembled and we had to move it out of a long dead van with only one operational door. Hint: it was not the hatch nor side doors.
I say partially disassembled because, as luck would have it, my grandfather (father's side) did not finish taking it apart years ago. So engine block, crankshaft, and coverings were all still in one hefty piece. By hefty, I mean close to 500 pounds. Further, the old coot left fekkin' OIL in it without letting us know. :D JOYFUL!
I am beat.

It was like trying to lift another me but dense and iron and always threatening to fall and crack my shin in twain.
