Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Sounds like a hell of a lot of work. Hope those memories are good ones!

The work sucked - but I was working for myself. They say you'll never work harder than you will when you work for yourself. I found that to be true in many ways.

At the same time, I had done really, really difficult physical labor and considered that worse. I'd rather spend 80 hours working at a computer, driving to a site, or doing field work, than I'd rather spend 60 hours working as a laborer for a concrete company.

Shit, I'd rather do 80 hours of that work than do 40 hours working for a concrete company.

I wasn't making the concrete, I was the fucker in the hole lugging heavy fucking forms all over the place - and then lifting the fuckers back out of the hole when you're done! Then, I carried 'em to a truck that was stacked 12' high. I had to carry the fucking things on my shoulder. I still have scar tissue on that shoulder and I haven't done that work since like 1987.

It did pay pretty well to work concrete. So, that helped.

I've never done concrete work. I did roofing for a while carrying bundles of shingles up to the roof, that sucked enough

LOL Yup. I've done that. Fuckers wanted me to bring two bundles up every time I climbed the ladder. I did not do so. Fuck 'em. I was not a roofer for long. It paid really poorly, compared to other labor jobs.

Wanna see some real science?
