    Very much so. All the guys i ran with had v8 cats but my detroit had absolutely no problem keeping up with them. However there was one guy with a kt cummins in a cherry red 362. None of us could keep up with him. He could #### near come to a compete stop at the bottom of the mountain and still beat us up over the top.

    I was a roofer in my previous life. I know about back pain...

    My Volvo with I-Shift pulling a 53' dry van is just what the doctor ordered. Pushing a clutch in & out throughout the day really aggravated my sacroiliac joint which I injured in my early days. Then again, that's just me. Be careful gulping down Ibuprofen if you're on b.p. medicine, according my doctor anyways.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    64 yrs. young. I Exercise. Good diet. Go to Chiropractor if back gets hosed. To keep it good,
    I bought a Tempurpedic California King. Asleep in 10 minutes. Just started to wear socks to bed.
    Laugh; but its your cold extremities that keep you awake. A Deeper sleep. Got a "Teeter Hang-ups"
    inversion table. If it holds my 265 lbs.it will hold you. I have trouble with center of my back, under
    my shoulder blades - on rt. side. It goes out, and pinches into the ribs. So I hang like a bat
    for 5 minutes, roll side to side, it pops in, and good to go. Yeah, it's like that - it really does work.
    Any of you guys drink Chicha Morada? Its Peruvian purple corn - w/pineapple for flavor.
    Read up on it. Many, many health benefits. I feel like I could run around the house after I drink it.
    Another Peruvian thing is Quinoa. Check that out. I'm finding these things late in life.

    Ibuprofen is bad on the liver when taken in quantity, but what year gonna do? I'm only 40. Retirement is quite a few years off. I grin and bear it as much as i can but some days its simply more than i can bear so i pop the pills.
