Mystery solved. Damn, a lift would be a nice thing to have. In my dreams, sigh. In my dreams...
Guess this is why mechanics are so stiff-necked, hmm?
-- Badtux the Stiff-necked Penguin
In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Achy breaky penguin
Now, this ornery old penguin is known for being a bit of a stiff-necked bird, but today that was literal. As in, a neck that hurt, and knees that creaked. This old penguin was wondering why. Then he remembered that yesterday he spent a buncha time on his back underneath a Jeep inspecting everything, and a lot of time kneeling down shoving jacks under wheels and spinning handles and wrenches and stuff.

I worked the hell out of myself one week in December and wound up with a pinched nerve in my elbow that effectively turned my left hand into a paw for five days. Not pleasant.
