So I spend 1.5 hours on pressure washing - half the driveway, the front sidewalk, and the front steps. No back issues, not really tired, it's cool. But I have a plan, so I stop where I am. I don't want to tweak the back - I have a plan.

I come inside and cool down for a bit. No problems. All is cool.

I go upstairs and take a hot shower. Feeling even better. It's ALL cool.

Come downstairs and do some email. Maybe a half hours worth. No issues. It's cool, it's all cool.

Go to stand up. Not cool. That's so not cool.

Hobble to the kitchen and find the advil. Water. Advil. Rest. It's all cool.

Getting old ain't for sissies.

I remember the last time I did any pressure washing; I ended up in a similar way and now I pay someone else (usually one of my sons) to do it... It's most definitely worth it!
