This is 100% true, I should know, I worked at Domino's delivering evenings as my second job. There was one time in my life I worked 3 jobs, that only lasted 3 months though, it was too much.
Worked day job till 5pm, Delivered Pizzas till midnight, started at 3am with my paper route till around 6am, got home showered and went to day job. Got free dinner at Dominos...Saved up enough to take my first wife to Europe for 2 week trip...
Oh, for anyone who did a paper route, it is 7 days a week, every blue moon you might could get someone to pick up your route if you wanted a day off. Day Job and Dominos was only during the week, so I caught up with my sleep on the weekends....Those were the days...
Looking back 20 years to my 50's I can honestly say for a fact that even on a bad day I could outwork my 49 year old stepson by a factor of at least 2.This is 100% true, I should know, I worked at Domino's delivering evenings as my second job.

Now at 76 and undergoing cancer chemo therapy for 3 months and down 16 lbs. I might come close to kickin' his ass now. I mowed the 30' x 75' grassed dog run with a gas push mower three Fridays in a row now because his ass is too $%^& lazy. He's got more reasons NOT to do crap than I have aches and pains....more excuses than I could ever come up with. REALLY gets under my skin, unless you couldn't tell.
You know my parent's generation and their parents, the great generation of WW2, their strength came from endurance, what they had to endure, even I had not experienced. But I thank them both, parents and grandparents, for they taught/told me their experiences which gave me strength to endure. Work hard and you will reap what you sow.Looking back 20 years to my 50's I can honestly say for a fact that even on a bad day I could outwork my 49 year old stepson by a factor of at least 2.

I miss them daily yet I feel their strength everyday. Each generation after them are more spoiled and weaker than the previous. Entitled, that I have a hard time understanding.
We have heard of The Great Reset, though we know it is a term from the Cowardly Elite, I often wonder if a Reset, war/uprising, would bring back this missing endurance lost from previous generations...
I pray for comfort and healing for you Tony...
