I never seen that ailment in any medi books I ever looked through 

 

Collected the S185 bobcat today, 22 ft long  tri axle trailer on a UK towbar LOL, USA bumper pull although if it was on the bumper I'm sure that the bumper would still be 40 miles away from me right now alongside the trailer and skidder.

 

6600 lb  or so plus trailer and quite a bit of weight it the truck too,  pulled it great with cream crackered injectors, everything else except fuel transfer pump stock and large tyres, EGT never went over 900 and only on LVL 3 on the quad

Slang for knackered which means tired, worn out     https://www.dictionary.com/browse/knacker-s-yard#:~:text=knacker's yard noun British a slaughterhouse for horses,in the phrase ready for the knacker's yard)

 

Here the place where fallen stock (dead/dying worn out cattle etc) goes to was referred to as the Knackers yard 

 

Knacker

Person who removes carcasses

A knacker, knackerman or knacker man is a person who removes and clears animal carcasses from private farms or public highways and renders the collected carcasses into by-products such as fats, tallow…

The trade of the knackerman was passed down from generation to generation, it was not a trade that you could go to college for, you had to learn the trade in a knackeryard.

In the EU, the legislation covering knackeries is Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of 21 October 2009. It regulates animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption.

In southern parts of Australia, if something is rendered useless or broken by an inept person, it is said to be "knackered".

As a fellow Brit also on here the words "knackered "and "Bollocks" are words used frequently in my house. And the occasional Cockney rhyming slang!

Ah coffee, the real morning medicine / joint juice. Sometimes I got to have coffee just to get get my balance back like when I'm tired and can't sleep or when I'm not tired but want to sleep. Just don't get this being old stuff.

certain fact is my 15 or so years at school never taught me nowt about getting old  in the mornings I squeak like a brickies wheelbarrow

There should be a course at school....  then again my Dad told me what NOT to do but did I listen !!!!   now I'm creaking

[JAG1]

Yes @wil440, there ought to be a course on getting old. I kept going to the doc with new ailments, not knowing these things are normal when aging. Like a switch getting pulled it happens and you don't want to admit it nor lose your abilities. I'm still working since I like being wanted and it helps to stay strong. Fun to make changes for others (nothing like years of experience) but, the normal ailments taught me to work less and enjoy doing my own stuff for a change.

Yeah I know it just as well. I've got a plan in place to hopefully be able to retire from wrenching in my 60's if possible. I'm currently looking for an apprentice o teach my skills and knowledge to and be able to hand the wrench work to this person. I want to get back to what I love doing is working the website but like most you notice that there is time where I disappear for periods and then pop back up. Those days I've been super busy work till 5 pm or later some days, wore out and hurting. This last summer I went camping with both @IBMobile and @JAG1 for there trip. Then one more time with @Honey Badger that was it my RV has been parked most of the summer and fall. Yeah I'm ready to break out and do camping and fishing. Last spring even @Honey Badger bought me a new fishing pole and never even used it being so busy with wrenching jobs. I want to change that this coming year and get a balance to my life to hopefully have a little fun and have a bit of spare time to have some fun memories.
