I am in the process of refinishing/repainting my kitchen cabinets. A 
tedious job you have to remove doors and handles. Clean, sand a bit, and 
paint 2 coats. Getting the hinges off and bending and getting on the 
floor is not easy as it was 6 years ago when I repainted inside of house.

Normally I do  my ride early in the morning and come in and eat good 
them rest a bit and dive in. Well not the back does not like all the 
bending and up and down. I was never good at it and not real flexible 
for sure. On top of that the normal 40-55 mile ride now takes enough out 
of me that I don't have the pace I once did.

Even 6 years ago I would jump  on bike and ride 50 and come back and go 
for say 4-5 hours easy. Now I tell you after 2 I am getting wiped. This 
painting is like painting a bike you have to mask things to avoid problems.
