#1135 was me stepping off a 10ft. ladder on the side without steps.  Damn near impaled myself, but that's history.

#1136.  I rolled the flat head outside and washed it with foamy engine cleaner and a power washer.  Once done it got hit with air, wiped down and encapsulated in an oily environment.

I went back and picked up the garage a bit, removed the kitty litter and laid down a 4 X 6 rug, I like reassembling on a clean surface, feels better and it's easier to find dropped things.

Went outside and grabbed the engine stand rolling it the 40 feet to the back.  I got the front wheels over the lip of the rug but kinda hung up on the rear.  No worries, grab the crank pulley with both hands and but some ooomph to 'er. 

GD if that big pulley decide now was the time to relax its grip on life.  I went flying backward, my heels hit something and I fell on the BMW R-90, knocking it off the stand and breaking the tail light, then I bounced out the rear door of the garage.

TIL that laying on the ground screaming like a girl, none of my neighbors could hear it.  I hobbled into the house and crashed face down on the living room floor.  Everything hurts.

Took me a minute to figure out why the hell you had to degrease and then oil a screwdriver.

 

Then I remembered the LaSalle.

 

Hope you mend quickly. Warm pad on the bruising will help it dissipate and hurt less.
