I spent about the first 10 years of my adult life working on a large farm as a mechanic overhauling everything from pickups, Kenworths to Tomato harvesters. My lower back is shot from I assume lifting torque hubs off of tomato harvesters by hand instead of using a cherry picker like I should have. I used to love tearing into something. Now I'm starting to dread tearing into things because I end up having to load up on Advil because my back is killing me or my neck is killing me. Getting old sucks.
I thought "its not the age, its the mileage"?
