Great Strength Und Iron Will

I've landed that new customer so now the orders for medical monitors have arrived. I drove the big truck down to San Jose yesterday and spent 2-1/2 hours hand-loading 70 lbs monitors. The monitors were upstairs stored with a maelstrom of other things so just getting them to the elevator was like broken field running. I finished without dropping any, and like Arnold Schwarzenegger (or was that Nietzsche?) said: "That wot doesn't kill you, only makes you uber strong"
Last night, I was entirely sore and stiff from the heavy lifting, so I was walking around like Frankenstein's Monster. After my first nap, I was better but my knees were still cold, stiff and aching. I almost took a vicodin, but instead went to bed early. This morning the knees are much better, but now my lower back is protesting.
We're at work now, getting some ready for shipment.
