It was then that i realized my body cannot do what my mind says it can, chalk it up to a painful learning experience, now it's the knees need to be replaced for the last 5 years and the feet are in dire need of help with surgery due to the overcompensating of the knees all these years! Bad shape my friend don't overdue it period! And of course dealing with the many jabs of the Roughnecks & Derrickman for my shenanigans!
I hear you... Loud and clear... But it probably won't help this hard head... And like you, I play hard with the young'uns... They kill themselves to help me but I still get in among em and usually overdo it... Oh well...

Moving the pod stand, dragging ram blocks for an 18 3/4 bop, etc... I may never learn... Where is that hard head smiley...
