Damnit, I feel like an old man. Yesterday, as I was running around town buying parts for my trailer, I got that twinge in my neck again. This is the third time that I’ve had a really bad muscle spasm in my neck, and it’s getting really. fucking. old.
The only good news is that I finally have every single part that I need to fix my trailer, except the pump and tank which have yet to arrive (after buying them off of eBay at a savings of $78). Sadly enough, nobody around here sells bulk packs of hose clamps. I checked the auto parts stores, hardware stores, and retail stores, but couldn’t find enough clamps to suit my purpose. I had to buy six nine-packs of small hose clamps from Wal-Mart at $2 apiece, but only four out of the nine clamps were the right size. It was still cheaper than anywhere else, though. My only worry now is that the braided PVC that I’m using won’t work well with 120°+ water at 45 PSI. I’m not sure if it’s rated for that pressure and temperature combined, but I suppose I’ll find out. I oughta install a shutoff valve just after the hot water tank just in case.
I won’t actually be able to work on my trailer until my neck loosens up a bit. I was afraid that I’d have to call in sick to work today because of it, but I took a Zanaflex and it seemed to help a bit. My doctor said to only take it just before bedtime, and she gave me a different medication to take during the day (Bextra), but that’s been recalled, and I have no desire to die of a heart attack while I take that shit.
