I would think that riding a horse would only accentuate any back problems you might have. Not only the jarring, but the position you have to hold.

You have a sex ed class? Are you getting more bouncing being on top or on bottom?

Time to head home in a minute. Ive should have a package waiting on me

If it says it pays us 10 hours, no matter if we finish it in 3 hours or 15 hours we charge 10 hours. Those are the guidelines. Thats how we make money by "beating" the clock.

Most jobs are anywhere from .5 hours to 5 hours. Per item on the ticket. so 4w brakes is 5hours, tires is 2 hours etc etc. Tires take about 45 minutes to do all 4, and brakes take about 45min-1hour to do. So there is alot of potential to make money on those items. Oil changes (plus fluid top offs) pays 1.2 hours and we can usually finish it around 45 minutes if we rush through it.

Sucks that I need those credits to graduate, and can't sign up for a new class.

I loved riding when I was little. Walking on the horse is fine. Trotting, so far, is just doing a number on my back. I spose I'll ask my instructor about different positions that prevent so much bouncing.
Ah... You shouldn't be bouncing so much. Really. I rode a horse that was half Clydesdale before. Bouncy as hell, but I never though "Oh God, trotting is just going to kill my back." You riding english or western?

I need to remember this method of billing when I become a lawyer.

1hr = 5hr x $250/hr = I'm rich.
Brake job includes replacing pads, rotors, and brake pad wear sensors.....

Not a normal Ford brake job


outta here, gonna go stop by the dodge house and look at the 09 ram on the way home

LOL... Good luck with posting. I always thought it was way too much work and made it bouncier.
