The moss in the lawn had become so invasive I put down some moss killer last weekend before going to Chicago. Unfortunately it worked well, black dead patches of moss everywhere, so yesterday became gardening day. Alistair's ultralight dayglo green track wheels had been left where I needed to rake and in picking one up I ricked my back. Got over that somewhat but no time to go down to the car so I went to the scrappy where I had found the engine instead for some part hunting. The scrappy up North that said they could send the Escort expansion tank etc has dropped out of sight so I decided a little car-focused outing would be nice. No problem for the back climbing over wrecks but when I twisted to get into the engine space on a car to unbolt the tank I found myself in agony and semi paralysed! At least I got the expansion tank and cap but this is a nuisance. And it's not as if I don't exercise.
