    That’s good for you, in the best way possible. I have not been so fortunate. I do have longer than normal legs. But we all need to adapt and over come in life. Toss in the me being a lefty also and things can be a hassle in day to day living sometimes.

    Me, I’m heading out of my 6th decade. Shoveling cow shit, grain, silage, and tossing 50kg/120lbs hay bales nearly every day growing up as kid on a farm got me started on ruining my body early in life. 12 years as a toolmaker standing on concrete 10 to 12 hours a day and lifting heavy pieces of steel, Then 15 years spent dragging 115+kg/250+lbs patients up from basements and down from upstairs bedrooms as a medic has done little to nothing for my back either. A couple of knee surgeries later and now I have a hip that’s starting to act up.
