Grrrrr

I just spent an hour a) figuring out which size wrench to use and b) trying to figure out which direction to turn the poxy oil drain plug.

When I’m head on to the plug it’s ok, I can see it. What I can’t, apparently, do is visualise what I’m supposed to do when I’m at some odd angle to the plug with the blood rushing to my head from lying on the ground so long and being in the sun.

Some people have geometric awareness. I am not one of them.

I need to drain the oil before I take off the footpeg assembly, shifter assembly, and eventually, the crankcase cover.

At least I managed to work the jack.
