@Gordy I am 4 years older than you and recovering from 2-1/2 years of medication conflicts. Now that health issues seem to be behind me, reverting to your kind of hours has been tempting. Customers that require one way drive of over an 1-1/2 are now required to foot lodging and per deium. It is just to dangerous driving long distances after after an 8 hour or longer day.
Last fall I took a job jacking up an 18 × 20 garage and moved it back 20". We broke out the old floor and attempted to pour a new one.
"Attemped," is the key word. The first fail was it the drop of temperature to delow freezing which stopped the set. I ran out of energy about a 1/2 hour into the pour. The pour was finished by 7:30 but at 4:30 water was still standing. I tried to cheat and toss mortar mix on it and force the set.
The end result was a 1" hump under the overhead door and a 3/4" dip in a back corner. After months of reviewing option a recovery plan was drafted.
First part of the plan grinding the hump off. The grinder rent with tax was $225 for a day. The hump under the door was 1" × 10' about 2' wide. It came off in 5 hours
The hole was filled with 4 bags of non shrink grout. To add insult to injury I did the infill with out using knee pads.
Did I forget to mention that my jeans had a hole in the knee.
The one who must be obeyed
is still giving me grief.

, both jobs I was driving off road haul trucks. In between those jobs was 8-10 hrs just up the road at a pheasant farm, helping with chores and rebuilding pens that were torn down this spring in a huge wind storm. I think my body is trying to tell me I'm too old for this crap, Sleep late an extra 3 hours and a 2-3 hour nap at mid day on the days off. Not much time left for the computer or getting anything done at home. Just one
for the bed.
that's gotta be tough to be doing for a long time!
from the squealing and 
and 2 more feet of weld to do
