Well, it's all relative...a lot of those stories about how hard people worked might be exaggerated just a little bit, but on the other hand there's no doubt a lot of the jobs we now do with machines (like milking cows for instance) are easier...or we just don't need to do the hard jobs the hard way because our lifestyle doesn't demand it. I grew up in the 1940's and 1950's with everyone telling me I didn't have to work nearly as hard as they did when they were growing up. My family men were farmers, threshermen and sawmillers.

Honestly, the hardest work I ever did, physically or mentally, was some task I had to hurry on and it took all my mental ability to figure out how to do the job the best way to get it done as soon as possible. If you're used to it, you can work hard physically and feel okay doing it, the key thing is getting used to it. Being a maintenance man most of my life, I've built a lot of things, installed a lot of things, and fixed a lot of things...and none of the jobs were too hard unless I had to do it in hurry and compromise doing it right in order to get it done in time.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
