>> You have to factor in that I changed the tire in a snow storm, the lug nuts were put on with one of those airhose compression wrenches, the wrench Honda provides with their jack is about 12 inches long and I was wearing leather soled shoes which were slipping and sliding all over the place as I was yanking on those lug nuts to set them free. Toss in the inability to trust my right knee at the moment - and it was exercise. The only good news was that instead of one of those dinky spare tires designed to get you to the nearest service station, I had a full sized brand new tire as a spare in the trunk thanks to Honda. Of course, it has been in the trunk since 1992 so I can't say it was exactly full of the correct air pressure. However, I made it to a service station to fill it up in the snow storm before inching my way home to dry off and reflect on the "healthy and normal" exercise I had just conducted before going off to the evening's rehearsal.

Do you get paid by the word?
