Don't know your own strength? Mike.
Today it's back to the Dr. For Sweetie for a follow up appointment for her clotted leg.
Maybe tomorrow a run to Erie PA for a visit with her Aunt and a stroll (in her case hobble) on the beach of Presque Isle State Park

Honestly Steve, it really surprised me when the breaker bar snapped instead of the lugbolt, Fiat isn't using recycled Russian steel like they did 35 years ago.
It took a 3/4" impact gun to break the lugbolts loose on that one corner, so either someone at the Fiat garage didn't use a torque stick, or they left for lunch and Man Mountain Dean did that wheel when it was inspected.
The counter clerk in the Craftsman Tools section of our local Sears was amazed that I'd snapped a breaker bar on a Fiat. He's been there so long that he remembers me from the days of my Corvairs, and the Canary Yellow Z-28 I wrapped around a tree in my Senior Year of High School.
He just kind of muttered under his breath, "broke it on one a them I-talian Fiat cars...done seen it all now", before he disappeared for a minute to fetch a replacement.
So I've got my third Craftsman 1/2" breaker bar in only 40 years of wrenching on things, at one broken tool every 13.34 years, I'm not driving Sears into bankruptcy.
It's tucked on the passenger side front floor of Paddy, who got tanked up with "cheap" Shell V-Power Premium at lunch, only $2.19 a gallon!
Regular is floating between $1.79 & $1.90, they say the drop in gas prices is due to the Chinese stock market tanking, I say let it keep tanking.
