I am not over weight i do smoke however I always thought of myself as being in pretty good shape except for the smoking thing, I gained weight after the surgery I always thought I was superman though tossing water heaters and rigid threaders on my shoulder to get it done. dragging 6' steel around all cause I was so dedicated to making my boss rich not really just my personality I need to accomplish things I hate waiting for anyone or anything . but I have paid for it I am looking to find a job until the yellow pages come out with my ad so we will see how well I hold up or if I can slow down.

I find myself short of breath alot more latley from smoking, I might try to quit real soon. I thought I was indestructable too but now I realize I have to use my brain more and work differently than I used to. I was always the guy that said I dont have time to run and get gloves (or whatever) lets just get it done. You know, the tuff guy lol.

Im more focused on working towards my retirment rather than the boss man's.

My back is killing me from taking video/photo ops at a county fair. Damn local sponsor (plumber that I am) is getting in worse shape every year.

Time to take this cow to slaughter...believe in the afterlife.


Wait, afterbirth, it's clogging the drain! Eat it!

My uncle back in the early 60 went to a low rent apartment were the toilet was stopped up......the toilet was bloody.....he's pased away now but was serious when he said "It was a backroom abortion". That must have been awful.

I once pulled a miscarriage out of a sewer line. I still shudder on that one.

I've seen one, but I've chewed up a dead body and broke a 24" main line wide open, 12' of head and that sewage if you heard the sound when I opened that line was like something out of a movie for sound effects.


Skull fragments with black/white hair. Bad neighborhood. Boss man said, "Wow. Okay, I need you to go over to ..... ....... ...... on your next call" and acted like he didn't hear what I said.

Nope. Boss gave me a lecture when I got back to the shop that it didn't happen.

He said the process would cost him $$$$'s between all the court procedures and time involved...and that the neighborhood that it happened in was quite common for homicides.


So you do your job and know that someone was removed from society and shot down a manhole. The experience of what that machine went through *Spartan 1065* and then finding what was on my cable?
