Hm.....

I've never minded work, myself.

And just so there's no misunderstanding, I've loaded a hopper with 700
lb. wheelbarrows (yes, 700 pounds) of scrap iron in a sand casting
iron and steel foundry, as well as being a molder in the same; I've
dug thousands of post holes with a clamshell digger; I've installed
(and removed) piers.....under water; climbed, limbed and felled trees;
layed brick, block and stone; prepared and served upwards of 200
pizzas in a night (for many nights on end); spent a couple of years in
steel fabricating (welding, shear, punch press, brake press, etc.);
built houses, garages, gazebos, pergolas, cupolas, saunas, etc.; dug
and moved many hundreds of yards of soil, sand, gravel, rock, roots,
etc., in preparation for pouring, floating and finishing concrete;
transported, poured floated and finished thousands of yards of
concrete, demolished houses, garages, barns, gazebos, pergolas,
cupolas, saunas, fences and various other structures; built
greenhouses; hauled and installed humdreds of railroad ties and other
landscape timbers; cut, transported and laid tens of thousands of
square feet of sod;......well, one could go on for days.

I've known many people who have done much more......enough more to
humble one.

Work ain't as bad as its reputation.

who, as luck would have it, has also had some dirty jobs.
