Hi, nevadascotta, welcome to PT! It's good to hear from another male member. I was beginning to feel outnumbered! I'm a groundskeeper at a golf course and it's seasonal work, so I usually get laid off around this time. I like it because I need the rest!! This year I got more rest than I bargained for, last august I had my knee replaced and I was off for that. I get to go back around the end of february or the beginning of march.
