I carried hod and anybody who doesn't know what hod is, it's mud for a bricklayer. I respect anybody who has that job becasue it was hard. I was in my 20s in Illinois.

I worked for a mobile tire company in Texas. We changed all types of tires but mostly tires on semi-trucks. That hot asphalt made those tires go kaput -- a lot.I respect anyone who changes tires with a sledgehammer. It's hard work. It's very hard work.
