What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I have a utility rug like they use at the entrances to auto parts stores "Job Safety Starts Here!" an I use those dense foam flooring squares the HF sells. Mostly in self defense--my knees aren't bad unless I kneel on concrete. My back, neck, and shoulders get sore if I try to bend over too much, so I have a couple stools that I sit on. And a lawn chair for an occasional rest & a seltzer.

I live in a retirement mobile home park, I've seen it first hand. Inactivity & loss of mental workouts are fatal. Sit down and you may not get back up.
