Greetings, friends & neighbors!
Today's counsel was sought by our friend Earline, who asks:
"My hip has been sore the past couple of days. If I stand real still, or if I put all my weight on my left leg, my left hip hurts like the devil. What can I do to ease my distress?"
This is what we in the industry call a 'softball question'. Thelma dear, your issue is of a multiple nature. Here's how you solve your immediate discomfort issues: don't stand real still, and don't put all your weight on your left leg. But what you really need is a long range solution.
Here's what you do: lose about 80 pounds. I guarantee that when you unload that suitcase of lard off of your rear end, your joints will celebrate with relief. Think about it - if you were bearing all of that weight you're carrying on MY left hip, it would hurt really bad. And I guarantee that Junior (her husband) will appreciate it!

Our next question is from a farmer buddy of mine, John H., who asks:
"I have a 2007 Chevy 1/2-ton pick-up. If I put a 500 pound load in the back, the transmission slips when it's in first gear. How can I fix this without spending a fortune at the garage?"
I can't believe I got two softball questions in one day! John, you know better than to ask my advice on this issue, because I have been trying to guide you in the right direction for years. My answer, as always in cases such as yours, is to A) sell that pitiful Chevy for whatever some sucker will pay you for it, then B) buy a Ford F-150. When (and ONLY when) you take this step, 99% of your problems will disappear. Now I know that you (and lots of other folks) have some sort of irrational and sentimental attachment to Chevrolet products. Get over it, and buy the Blue Oval!
