Rest of the story - I left that job about 9 years ago (at age 43), so the improvement wasn't temporary. Haven't had a "real job" since, but had squirrelled away enough to last till now (literally - come-on PTSC!) without selling the house or anything, except I did sell my old (but like new) Maico 250 a couple of years ago. That thing was still good for some lower back pain! Funny how an old guy can get on a dirt bike, having ridden ALOT in years past, and suddenly think he's 16 again, and go for it! Ouch - two/three days later! LOL
