Things are happening fast.

I go tomorrow to see a neurological psychologist to do the testing to be cleared to return to work. They hadn't even scheduled me yet but there was a last-minute cancellation for tomorrow morning so I'm taking advantage of it.

Tell them your brain is back to normal and you were thinking about getting on Jeopardy.

I don't think anyone tried to reach very far in the 120,000+ miles my Tour Glide had when I got it.

Hmm, that pickup I got last summer, probably should pull the wheels and do that so if I get a flat on the road, I'll be able to get the wheel off. Never seen a commercial mechanic use anti-seize, another good reason to do what you can yourself.
What we do for our 1 tons, take off the lug nuts but leave two finger tight. Then do a figure eight in the yard or go for a little drive. Breaks them loose every time. No need of 20 lbs sledges to beat them off.

I had one I couldn't budge with a sledge hammer on a car, so I just loosened all the lug nuts slightly and the first turn broke it loose.

I've got a Snap-On HD Air Hammer that'll ( most often ) knock 'em loose pretty quickly!
