The caller ID says Van's, so I contort enough to tap answer with my elbow only to be asked by Van's Chevrolet in Scottsdale if it was a convenient time to discuss my future automotive needs. I've never laughed that hard at a post before! Excellent description. I think it was even funnier since I know exactly what you're talking about since I've been there, done that ;) When I installed the valve, I remember thinking, "This would be a serious PITA if I need to service this later". I'm now hoping I don't ever have to replace my valve!

I let my personal trainer look at this and she is developing a list of exercises that might help me. If it had been me I'd had to have had a 2nd person there to "extract" me!!
