The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies)

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.
