Back when I wore a younger man's clothes, when I was at college and dating my college sweetheart, I'd get up at 4:30 am in the summertime, get ready and go to work at a local air conditioning company. Hot work, outside, lifting concrete pipe, making concrete, digging ditches. We'd come back to the shop at about 3 pm. I'd go home, take a shower and a brief nap. Then out on the town with my love interest until 1 or 2 am. Back home, sleep a little, get up and do it again.
If I did that today, I'd be dead in two days. Maybe one.
