When I was younger like 30 or 40, I always did things the hard way. Sense of satisfaction. As electrician, alway drilled holes in wood with brace and bit. Cut holes for boxes in plaster lath with keyhole saw. Cut trees with bow saw and axe. Not too good with axe. Dug many ditches with shovel, mattock, no machine. Dug some sewers by shovel. Still at 68 change my own tires with spring leaves(better than spoons)after breaking bead with air cylinder. Used to split and burn my own wood. Gas bill would be 400 for year. Cut and threaded pipe by hand dies, no machine, even one inch. Bent lotta conduit with hickeys, no benders. Nobody ever called me lazy, just stupid. But labor has its own rewards. Car transmissions on my chest few times. Still use come a longs and chain falls. Put up a pole barn few years back, with a little help from the women(they are strong, don't let em fool ya.) Dave
