If you have a good driving record, there are always Contractors at the post office in need of dependable drivers. These are the contractors that deliver the mail from post office to post office. Most of them run below 26000 lbs so no CDL required. Usually not much lifting, just rolling loaded equipment on/off the truck. Just need to "promote yourself". You can get the contact info from any of the drivers. I know LD Porter and Galloway used to have routes out of there.

Here is what I bought for my wife one Christmas, it was the best gift I ever bought, for both of us.

Its "Gravity Boots". Here are the boots you want to get as they WILL hold you up.



Just buy some 4x4 posts, and a few 2x4's at the local lumber yard, then find a used weight lifting bar. Try and buy the 4x4's at a height that you won't need to cut them, I attached them directly to the ceiling joist. Then I made a few braces with the 2x4's.

The drill a hole in the 4x4 for the bar, high enough that you can hang the full length of your body. Run the bar through the holes, then drill a hole through both ends of the rod {there should be about an inch sticking out of the 4x4's on both sides}, and put a cotter key in to keep the bar from slipping out.

Put on your boots and hang for as long as you want. I usually put my finger tips on my jugular arteries, to slow the blood to my head so I can hang a bit longer.

This has CURED my back, and neck problems as well as my wife's.

well two weeks ago i got my truck out of the shop after having the motor pulled and replaced, nothing special guys it's built back to stock; i pulled my grill off to repaint it. painted a flat black. it was a gun metal color at first but it was starting having black come out. plus i never liked how around the head lights were silver. sanding it down and used a $2 flat black from wal-mart .everyone has been asking me where i got my grill from and told them it was the one on it just repainted it to give it life back. other than that not a lot done to it. just been putting the miles back on it. i felt a little down when i couldn't drive me b series. i love my wife but her mini van didn't cut it.

Today? Hopefully I'll pick up my re-done cylinder head at the machine shop so I can start putting my B2200 engine back together.

182K miles, ran great, but smoked. So it was time to be environmentally conscious. Like others have found, the oil control rings were stuck in the piston groove. Compression was still 165 psi all around.

Well I got my weber tuned finally. On my way to work checked my rear view mirror to see a huge plume of smoke following me. Was over a quart low in 8 miles. So I get to figure out where my oil is coming from.
