The ladders are killing me. What's REALLY sad is, I'm 54, damaged all over, and I can still out work the 20 years olds. I kept getting ticked off when I went back to work because I couldn't do what I used to be able to. Then I looked around. Pathetic. I was out-working them anyway.
But yeah, I've lived hard and it catches up eventually.
I'd do it again the same damned way. I had a blast.
