Do alot of you have wrecked bodies? (knees, back etc)

Sigh.. modern stuff.. always making things complicated.. bad enough those American verses British panels - i don't know why they never made those bridgie handling parts more egonometric - you know  a bend in the carrying handles to ensure equal distribution of weight -thinking MGB here... I was put on a back course  when in  NDHQ (after going topo-surveyor) and they told me -"If it is not safe you have a right to refuse.."  That sort of indicated to me that there was a bit of a disconnect between "Puzzle-Palace'' and reality.. Certainly though some equipment could be just slightly redesigned.. and save alot of people  life-long grief - Hey any-one notice what comes up when the spell-check does ''puzzle-palace''? Neat!

Greetings, PLEASE PLEASE do not jump on and off wagons of any sort, 19 years ago i wish that some SNCO would've slapped me upside the head and pointed this out!!! CLIMB the handrails are there for a reason!!!

stiffness of the knee brought on by sitting in one position, arthritis left ankle, both shoulders, caused by a bug that lives in the back of the throat (Fusobacterium necrophorum)

LOL D&B, LOL... is that all you lost ???

Nope. Lost my ride back to Gagetown too. Ever try hitchhiking from Fredericton to Gagetown at 3.00am Sunday wearing a kilt and CF short sleeve shirt? Worked like a charm... ;D
