And another tidbit, DUmmies--I'm pushing 50. I'm starting a new job. You know why most kids my age won't do what I do?
BECAUSE IT INVOLVES WORK. OUTSIDE. In shitty weather. Up to 70-80 hours a week (55 is average so far.) in all weather. Case in point--we've been training the last few days and were out in -20 windchill yesterday morning. But damned if it wasn't productive learning!
