"progress" (belly laugh) report

 Sir, this recruit reports that there is nothing to report, sir!

 Back pain is being a real ... 'punt' ... to me and slowing me down.  I tell myself it's getting better, but if it is, it's happening agonizingly (geddit) slowly.

 What worries me is that we don't know what caused it this time.  For sure it wasn't overlifting, and when it all started weeks ago, I could not think of any "lifting and twisting" motions I might have made either.  This is bad, because it means I have no idea how to prevent it from recurring.

 Right now, I am focused on two things:

1. fixing the plumbing in the shop bathroom
2. fixing the broken bit on the 3D printer

#1 looks easy but has to begging with me on my back on the floor (uh-oh)
#2 isn't hard, just a little tedious, but involves going downstairs to the basement

Have I whined about how I hate getting old... lately?  I hate getting old.

 There are also "dead" times when I am working on stuff I will not blog about, ie;
things you're all too young to know about.  Maybe I'll post details on those projects
to Fetlife, if I ever return there.
