    I unloaded a trailer of tires yesterday morning from a dead sleep, was awake about 10 minutes.

    32,000 pounds.
    1,108 pieces.

    So this much I know for certain -

    I may have a stroke, but my heart is definitely in excellent shape lol.

    3 hours 45 minutes. Touched every single one.

    Toward the end of the day today, I could pretty much straiten my arms out all the way.

    You gotta pick them all up, and they are loaded interlocked, kinda like a zipper.

    Getting them loose is half the battle. The top three rows above my head are tough.

    But once you get an opening you climb up and kind pull them over.

    My first load of tires i in Utah. They were pretty big tires not interlaced but stacked. The guys all stood around watching while I struggled those buggers down one at a time...until the owner came out, had a fit, and whupped out the grabber forklift. Those dirty guys were having a laugh on me.

    Not to mention potentially getting their jollies at your clothing stretching tight on the curves over your body possibly.

    I hate to be so crude but that's not all the reasons men stand around making a woman do the work. I would not be back there if I can help it. They should be ashamed of themselves for wilful laziness.

    as far as Dave is concerned with him and his cats, there is or was a article on Fox about a man who brushes cats at a local shelter. He sometimes has to rest a minute with a nap and usually a cat bundled deep taking a nap right there with him.
