              I"ve changed broken shocks in a down pour wearing a rain suit. I was fine until the river running down the street went down my back and got my shorts soggy. I hate that.

                I just torqued down rod bolts in utter, complete, no flashlight, Blair Witch Project, darkness.

                Wickedly fun to tell you the truth. I could have come in for my flashlight, but I'm fat and lazy.

                    I've done that thanks to a cheap and stupid landlord who refused to a changed a bulb. Torqued a set of head bolts with nothing more than a tiny flashlight in my mouth. Mostly, it was grope and feel. It worked out. Never had a problem with them.
