What's happpening, Mr. mu?

sore as a mofo.. I know now, why landscapers get paid as much as they do. That shiz is HARD work... and all we did was get the first row ofmy retaining wall in lol

Yeah -- When I was working on my Bachelor's degree I used to work on a masonry crew weekends and vacations -- building block and brick walls. Being entry-level meant that I spent most of my time digging footings, etc. Back-breaking stuff.

when our addition went onto our house (the study, breeze way and our 2 car garage) i was helping dig everything and set stuff up exc........... you aint kiddin when you say BACK breaking. i could barely stand for next week :shakes head: lol

:tup: yea, I am all kinds of sore.. not to mention a slight sun burn.... lol

Short commute ftw! 24 mile round trip for work over here :D

My round trip commute is less than 13 miles a day, and I park in a reserved spot in a covered garage. The only time my Z is ever in the sunlight is on the commute home. I really enjoy my time in the Z; more than any other car I've owned in 35 years.

That's why I haven't really considered a daily driver. If the situation were to change, either a longer commute or harsher parking conditions, I'd probably get a Fit or a Yaris for daily driver.

I can relate!

I was a "hod" carrier when I was in college. That was a local term for "hard". I worked on the crew that mixed and transported the mortar, as well as set-up the scaffolds and laid out the cinder blocks and mortar plates for the brick layers.

Imagine lifting cinder blocks and mortar five stories on a series of scaffolds. I was definitely in the best shape I've ever been in my life. Ate five big meals a day, drank beer all night, and still weighed only 148 lbs. I'm 6'1" and weigh 20 pounds more these days. Such is progress.

Man -- I have not heard the term "hod" for a while. Yep -- making mud, building scaffolding (bucks, braces and boards), humping block and brick, taking crap from the genius masonry masters -- all good times.

Back in Virginia, there were days in the winter when I had to make a fire in a 55 gallon drum that we poured our sand pile around. The heat melted the frozen sand enough so we could shovel it into the mixer.

Oh yeah -- I was in excellent shape then as well.

Yeah, a couple of years ago when I started here, the lot was empty on the North end of the building, and all the guys who cared would park their cars out there, we didn't all know each other but there was a certain respect, you knew where people parked and you left a space between you...

Now it's crowded even 150 yards from the building and you're right on top of the landscaping or whatever, and some jackass is always looking to beat you to work so they can snipe one of the good spots, so I just don't bother... I drive my Civic, get 34 MPG, and don't worry about what I'm going to find when I walk out there at night.

here i go again, back out to finish closing the Pool
