Blah-Blah-Blah!
My back pain has downgraded from "Sweet Mother of BOB, Kill Me NOW!!" to an annoying ouchie boo-boo, for which I’m all kinds of grateful. I even managed to shovel the foot of snow that fell yesterday, though I had to warm up and stretch my lower back out first.
Instead of waiting for another sign from BOB (which most likely would have come in the form of a trip to the hospital, complete with my wife giving me that "You’re such a dumbass" look I’ve come to know and love), I shall take this as a warning that I’ve been a lazy idjit and neglecting my core work.
From here on out, I shall make it a priority to get abs and lower back training back into my workouts.
Starting next year.
Just kidding.
I’m not that stupid.
(Not today at least.)

Yup, dfelt, that’s pretty much all I do. Less weights, higher reps, stretching and rest usually get me back into proper form.
