Kind of ironic on my part. My Dad was a warehouseman for I dunno.....50 years or so. Wholesale plumbing, so lots of water heaters, bathtubs (cast iron) and all sorts of heavy stuff. That stuff came in on a rail siding, so it was not just a few of each....they were a big supplier here in town. I do recall him having some back trouble, but not until he was in his 70's, and it was minor compared to what I have. He was not quite as big a fella as I, but I can tell he was a lot smarter. When we remodeled this house, about 30 years ago, he worked me down more than once, and he was 31 years older than I was. Plus he was semi retired, early.....another thing he was smarter than I was, although I kinda am semi retired now. He did beat me on age of retirement though.
