I spent about 6 months in construction. Nothing was so devastating on the back. I was a laborer, though. 150lb wheel barrows up hills and demolition work all day.

I guess the air glide chairs do some justice compared to driving a car for 11 hours?

45 minutes in a car...I'm done. And can barely move.

Road my motorcycle out to Vegas and back. It is a comfortable cruiser with a windshield. I hate every time I do that. At the truck stop, I met this 66 year old truck dealer that said he just bought a harley 2 weeks ago. He had 6,000 mile on it already, he said. I told him that is about what I do in a year! He said he just "works less than I do," but I remember thinking he must get a massage every 400 miles more than I do, too! lol

My driver says he wouldn't mind running team. I'll talk to him. It needs to mean him making more money, though.

How are you losing money?

I rode my vstar from KC to Baltimore to upstate NY and I could not stay on it for more than about 45 minutes without really hurting. I still don't know if it was me or the bike. Sold it a while back, I'll have to get a nicer one and find out.
