happy late birfday
level 43 wizard over these parts
feel like I'm lvl 70!
broke my back last year and this past month has been torture.

You broke your back last year, and still hauled all those car loads of rocks for your crawler course? You sir are a mad man!

I'm 44, but I've been doing fifo for 13 years so I probably look 55. I know I feel like it.

yeah, i took 4 months off to heal up tho dont get me wrong lol. it was just 1 vertebrae. broke it and didnt even realise it. i figure if batman got his back broke, and HE couldnt walk, then clearly my back wasn't broke since i can walk. so i assumed my back just hurt HELLA bad, lol even told a chiropractor he didnt know what he was talking about cause he asked when did you break your back. i said ummmm never?? lol
nah turns out i ground a vertebrae to literal dust, they had to scoop the "bone" out. rocks are fine, they dont move and i lift with my legs lol. but i think i busted the patch job up last week. been in level 8 pain for weeks is pretty rough. but this is life and I'm a man. limited options. if i dont work the family doesn't eat so broke back or not we headed to work lol
......... fml.

My thoughts exactly. I guess that's a side effect of rock.

Ok, what is fifo? Is it some crazy Aussie street drug? A girl you met in college? I'm almost afraid to ask

Fly in, fly out work. Mining. Nightshift rosters.

You've never heard of fifo?

No I sure haven't. Of course I never knew anyone that commuted farther than I have, which was 70 miles each way.

My uncles were deisel mechanics for Peabody mine here, but that was just down the road from where they lived.

I'm pushing 67 and been in RC for a long time. Any other older folks here? I saw one post today from a fella saying his birthday in '75....I chuckled and remembered boot camp in '75.

81 here. Good thing about RC. It suffers old age well. -AC

Mining is a big industry here. People are flown in from all over the country, + overseas. It's 1568km(974.31 miles) to my work.
