That is inspirational
I'm sure the girl on the right is Scratch's physical therapist.

I had 32 in package. My left knee isn't great but I can't say it's pain, more like
constant annoyance.

One thing nobody ever mentions but my hearing is horrible. I'm sure it's from
being in those old package cars that had the engine right there in the cab with
you. Especially those old 400's.

I think everyone had a bad knee from stiff clutches and yeah the noise made it impossible to hear anything outside the cab or to listen to a radio while you were driving.

Have heard a few coworkers needed hearing aids a few years after retiring. In my local they are still getting Liberty Mutual to pay for them.

After 35 years how are your knees and back feeling? If any of you retired guys care to chime in, how many years of service did you have and how well is your body holding up? I still have at least another 15 years but my knees are already killing me. I’m not sure if I can make it.
I retired with 35 years January of 2021. Other than a little basal joint arthritis in my thumbs from the early diads I have no issues. I also never ran, always used three points of contact, walked backwards out of the package car and never carried more than what I felt for me was optimal. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
