Take the shock treatment, its really not that bad. Your muscles spaz, tense and then your done. Just call it a good work out. You will burn about 100 calories and loose about 8lbs. from ****'n your pants.

That stuff is great, im not sure if it helps long term, but it was enough to let me walk out the door without grimmacing in pain the last time i had physical tearapy. Ha they said that most people like it around 7 and your supposed to leave it right where it starts to hurt...i had it cranked up at 25 before i even felt anything, maxed out the machine before it hurt!

Is the pilot rig yours, Grey?
Yes I miss those days and the view.

That's why you carry your little baggy with you, and check the wind direction so it clears the truck befor you toss it. Bounced acouple off of other peoples though. Only the mill wrights towed theirs to the towers. It was a long way to the office if you had to go.

Reminds me of changing the governor on a 2 MW generator and finding out they didn't pull the fuses on the line PT. such a lovely feeling after the second time.
