This is my post for #freewriters 2537 prompt the station of the dead hosted by @mariannewest
I think I have overdone things, my back has been hurting all day, and last night I might have gotten 2 hours of sleep, I would get up and walk around until I thought it felt better but as soon as I laid down it would start again there was no position I could find to give me relief. all day today I have been sitting in my chair with the heating pad going and it still feels bad. I hate days and nights like this.
My husband did not do much today either, he planted some onions in our garden and worked on his boat motor. One cylinder tested 55 on the compression tester, meaning it needs to go to the station of the dead motors. Compression should be around 140. He has another motor on the boat that was given to him but it also has low compression but is low at 110, he can still get on a slide with it, it just will not go as fast as it should.
The way fishing has declined, it makes no sense to buy a new motor, they are not cheap and if you are lucky enough to find a used one that you can afford you do not know if you are buying someone else's headache and how long it will last.
I hope my back feels better tomorrow, I think it is a little better than it was a few hours ago when I first started writing this post, so maybe by morning, it will be back to normal pain.
