Aside from the inevitable hernia - if I have the time it's actually 2 hrs of enjoyable 'me' time. 2 hrs of vintage Top Gear on the garage TV, beers, and working on cars. Nice if I have the time.

Yeah, so true. It is the prep. Actual job isn't the worst.
My son did a great job helping this year, so that was a bonus. He did the last wheel completely without help...took it off, labelled it, put the new one on, torqued the lugs and inflated it up to the correct pressure. Teaching him was pretty cool...he's helped before, but this was the first year he could manage things without me directing every move (he's 15).
